Problems with latest updates. Kernel + X.

[Naoki]

fyi..

1) Kernel, the nvidia module doesn't compile against .326.

2) X error ( not fatal )

Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
60700000

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb

[host]$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", ""

[host]$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
 layouts = [us]
 model = pc105
 overrideSettings = false
 options = []

3) Kernel panic ( maybe with APCI only systems ).

Hi,

Just for your information: thanks for the report, but it isn't news I'm
afraid - if you looked in the mailing list archives you'd find plenty of
discussions of these two issues.

Nvidia's problem; they can't deal with the 4K stacks in the Fedora
kernel (and now in the vanilla tree as well, apparently soon
non-optional there as well). They'll probably fix it in a while. Nobody
else can.

Reported lots of times in Bugzilla and discussed on the mailing list
(perhaps mostly fedora-test-list, which is probably where it belongs).
Seems like Mike Harris has got a grip on it from the Bugzilla comments.
I haven't had time to download the latest updates yet, it just might be
fixed now.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121000

I believe the problem is not within X but rather a problem in
gswitchit-capplets with switching the keyboard schema.

Your thoughts and comments are always welcome.

Not it *is* an xorg problem.
Just try setxkbmap and you'll see the Gnome layer has nothing to do with
it.
