<html><body><p>I cut a new Fedlet release today, 20141111. You can get it from the <a href="https://www.happyassassin.net/fedlet-a-fedora-remix-for-bay-trail-tablets/">Fedlet page</a>.</p>

<p>The big improvement is working internal wifi on the Venue 8 Pro - many thanks to Jan-Michael Brummer for that. It has kernel 3.18rc4, which may possibly help other devices out, I don't know. It bumps the userland to ~Fedora 21 Final TC1 or so.</p>

<p>I figured out a way to make KMS graphics work on my Venue 8 Pro, too. For me, it works when I boot through the boot device menu (hold down volume <em>up</em> on boot). When I boot that way, early boot happens in a low resolution, then when KMS kicks in, it switches to native resolution. When I boot through the firmware UI, or just normally, early boot happens in native resolution, and KMS activation blanks the screen.</p>

<p>For me, graphics are extremely slow and wifi doesn't work after a reboot - the workaround is to power off fully and power back on, not just reboot.</p>

<p>If you have an earlier version of Fedlet installed, you may have wound up getting Rawhide - Fedora 22 - packages installed, instead of tracking Fedora 21. This is to do with Fedlet being a non-official build of Fedora - I didn't bother making a 'fedlet-release' package, I just use the 'generic-release' package that's shipped in Fedora, but it doesn't get updated very quickly and it wound up pulling in Rawhide repositories when it shouldn't have.</p>

<p>To fix it up, you basically need to get up to at least <code>generic-release-21-7</code> from the F21 repo, and install a 'Product' subpackage - <code>generic-release-workstation</code> or <code>generic-release-nonproduct</code> are the obvious choices. Remove <code>generic-release-rawhide</code>. Then you can run <code>yum --releasever 21 distro-sync</code>, which should pull everything back into line with Fedora 21.</p>

<p>The new release has the current <code>generic-release</code>, so it shouldn't have this problem. I forgot to explicitly pull in a Product sub-package, though, so it got <code>generic-release-cloud</code>, which is silly but shouldn't have any particular consequences. I'll clean it up in the next release.</p>
