David, can you please say whether you tested i586 or x86_64 and also if you can test the other one too, perhaps with a livecd if you don't have two installs available. 

This requires specific hardware to test that I fear QA is going to be lacking.

Thankyou

Tested on i586, don't have machine set up to do x86_64

Comment 9 claire robinson 2011-10-16 14:46:39 CEST

I think, as QA are lacking specific hardware for this update and it is verified to be fixed x86_64, we can be excused for validating without testing x86_64 in this instance. No regression noticed x86_64 with single monitor.

Thanks David for testing what you could.

Advisory
-----------
This update corrects an issue with Gnome where it was impossible to add applets to Gnome panel on a second monitor.
-----------

SRPM: gnome-panel-2.32.1-5.1.mga1.src.rpm


Could sysadmin please push from core/updates_testing to core/updates

Thankyou!
