Hi,
I've downloaded the Fedora 9 beta and created a bootable usb stick to test it out on some systems. It works fine on my desktop with radeon graphics so I assume the usb stick is ok. However, on a laptop with Intel x3100 graphics, X doesn't display fonts and icons (it draws rough outlines of where the windows are supposed to be and I can log in by clicking the right places). This is the same in rhgb, gdm and on the desktop. Fedora 8 works fine on this laptop. Is anyone able to confirm if this is an issue with all x3100 systems?

Looks like Nicu has seen the same thing: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/2008/03/my-struggles-with-f9-beta.html
The comments suggest that this only happens on the Live image, and you can make it work right by booting with "xdriver=vesa".

The problem is already solved on the latest rawhide liveCD.
