Signal 11
by Blake M. Macon
I am having trouble with loading the X server. I have the Intel 82865G
graphics chip and a Samsung Syncmaster 191T monitor. I loaded the current
drivers from intel.
The error logs states the it had "Caugh Signal 11.aborting"
Anyone know what I should do?
I am VERY new to all this.

porting rhgb to other distros
by IvanK.
Hi guys,
first I want to congratulate everyone involved in fedora core on a very
aesthetically pleasing and technically superb desktop. Excellent job.
Now, I'm a LFS (linux from scratch) user and I would like to "port" rhgb to
lfs. I already succeeded in compiling rhgb, after modifying some the
variables in main.c, and changed my initscripts to start it.
However, when I rhgb is supposed to start, it does but dies immediatelly and
my boot continues as normal.
I tried running rhgb with -d, but I get no information.
My question is, do I need to patch either the kernel or anything else?
A new thing just occured to me and it is that I'm running a font server on my
machine. Perhaps when rhgb starts it cannot find the necessary fonts? I'll
give it another try, but would also be grateful for any hints you can
provide.
Thanks,
IvanK.

Menu organization: Why do we use the redhat menu?
by Kevin Francis
After using Fedora Core since it was in severn beta, I have found only
one real annoyance: the foot menu in GNOME is not the standard GNOME menu.
Why do we use this? It is the hardest menu of either Windows or Linux
that I've had to use -- It takes me ages to locate things, and when I
do, I frequently mis-click. I had no problem at all with the original
GNOME menu, or Windows menus.
Is there some strange technical reason? Or is this just a redhat-ism?

Re: Gnome 2.6 building
by nick kuzmik
I made a post earlier regarding the changes to the desktop since 7.3. A respondant suggested that I was troubleshooting incorrectly. One response suggested that changes to GNOME, not the window manager were the source of my problems.
That said, would this the be the proper forum to speak, should I wish to effect change to the current desktop packaging?

Re: Re: Graphic Apache Error Pages.
by Kevin
Seems like the Fedora Art-workers didn't released enough Fedora-style artworks. The only things I can see with the Fedora-style are - graphical boot, graphical login, gnome splash screen, and the default wallpaper.

Desktop command configuration
by nick kuzmik
I really don't want my first post here to be whiney,
so I'll try and present myself logically.
Starting with the introduction of RH8, I have found
that the desktop interface has become more restrictive
with each successive release.
To name a few, items,
1. I liked being able to mouse from one workspace to
the next without touching the keyboard or clicking in
the Workspace Switcher.
2. I had the Windows System key configured to
automatically activate a terminal from anywhere.
3. And now with FC1, there is the issue of mouse
focus as outlined in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115072.
The 7.3 Window manager, sawfish IIRC allowed for
several levels of customizablity. The first thing the
Sawfish control panel asked you was are you an novice,
intermediate or an expert user. Based on your answer,
it limited your options.
Is there reason that a similar feature cannot be
implemented in the next Fedora Core?
I don't want to cause trouble but can some one tell me
why it seems like each new version of Redhat takes
away my ability to tune the desktop so I am as
productive as possible?

Fedora and Dual Processors
by Wolf Sherrod
Just a post to say Fedora supports a Tyan Tiger mobo with dual 500mhz Celeron Processors. I had Fedora installed on a single processor PC with original kernel , it worked fine. So i put the hard drive with Fedora in my dual processor PC (128mb SDRAM) and with a few tweeks it came up just fine.
But only showed (1) processor . I tried to compile the new 2.6.0 kernel with no luck. So I went for it and downloaded the RPM and installed it -->> rebooted---> and WaLa ,(2) processors and SMP was automaticlly up and running. One word of advice , when booting up after new kernel install --- > when "checking for new hardware finds something" just answer "DO NOTHING" to everything it finds.Or you will end up with no Network card. This is the sweetest Linux box I ever had . "Fedora Rocks"

Whats up with up2date?
by scott
When I try to use up2date it freezes up when trying to download
updates? Sometimes it says that the gnu license is bad and asks to
continue anyway. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a link where I
could find an updated/fixed up2date rpm?
On a home-made raft in a sea of bugs,
