On systems with Intel 845 graphics chipsets, by default the mouse cursor will be invisible. You can work around this problem by disabling kernel modesetting, using the <tt>nomodeset</tt> kernel parameter. A potential fix for this issue is available in kernel-2.6.29.3-155, which will be available in Fedora 11 pre-release repositories on 2009-05-21, or can be found in Koji [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1367177 here]. If you are affected by this issue, please test and provide feedback in the bug report. | |||

Common Issues
Update notification doesn't disappear
link to this item - Bugzilla: #492005
After updating using PackageKit, the updates notice may reappear even when there are no package updates left to receive. The maintainer is aware of the issue and we expect to resolve it soon. In the meantime, changing the following option in the configuration file may work for some people, although results vary:
UseUpdateCache=false
git-* commands moved from $PATH
link to this item - Bugzilla: #479216
Most of the git-* commannds have been moved from the standard $PATH. Use of the git-* form has been deprecated since around 2006 and upstream moved these commands by default with git-1.6.0. Any script that references the commands will need to be updated. Below is a possible workaround:
PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH
updating from F10 in X fails and X falls over
link to this item - Bugzilla #494046
Systems updating from F10 using yum and in some cases PackageKit can fall over (Bugzilla #494046). The best way to work around this problem is to first update fontconfig to the version in F11. Then restart your X server and finish the rest of the update.
