Sorry havent got a bugzilla account…
have you tested this on eee 901 yet? Used unetbootin to get RC1 onto a USB thumb drive, but RC1 stops as it cannot find the init scripts.
Would be great to have this fixed before RC2 is out.

Hi,
Tried out 2009 rc1 on a dual opteron, 2Gb, uatadisk, dual screens, nvidia gfx, etc etc. Seems to work fine until you configure the gfx card to use both monitors, all of a sudden the themes aren’t usable etc etc. same goes for mandriva 2008 powerpack. Isn’t it time to fix this kind of stuff, or am I just doing something wrong ?

When I installed Mandriva One 2008 *everything* felt right. It looked good, it was intuitive and it just worked.
I am very disappointed with 2009 RC1. I am sorry to say the artwork seems poor while the interface seems clumsy and counter-intuitive. I am so unimpressed that I will be not be using this version any further. I am hoping for better things to come.
Interesting version, I tested it on a Thinkpad T20 and old small of 650mhz and 256 of RAM and a HDD with 4GB. The most interesting thing was the automatic elimination of unused locales and hardware drivers not present on the laptop.
Even I am a GNOME user the KDE 4 interface is clean, and has been tuned up in KDE 3.5 style to not generates traumathic transicion. The best edition ever since Mandrake 10.2. Regards
@warez crc: Did you file a bug? If you haven’t; don’t expect developers to fix problems they don’t know about.

The volume is very low in the RC1 and there is no availability of refresh window option on right click on desktop which users usually do.
Moreover I coudn’t get the konsole in the KDeveloper for C/C++…….!!!
