= Tested and Verified on Fedora 7 =

Information in this section has been tested and verified using Fedora 7.

== Installation ==

Installation is straight forward; you can use the generic install instructions [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/Download#head-79f58abcee810df2be8fff176fe58ba3972d6358 here].

== Configuration ==

=== X Server ===
Basic X server functionality should work out of the box.

==== Desktop Effects ====
'Desktop Effects' cause screen corruption when enabled.

For me it worked great "out of the BOX (and Beryl as well)

=== Wireless Network ===

With the Intel wireless, it is working out of the box.
But with the Atheros card you need the closed source [[Madwifi]].

=== tpb/on-screen display ===

tpb, which controls the onscreen display of thinkpad buttons, is not installed by default.

To install tpb execute:

{{cmdroot|yum install tpb}}

Once installed, just restart the X server. No further configuration is necessary.
