2.6 rawhide vs. arjanv
by Brian C. Huffman 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

All, I'm almost positive that I've seen this posted...but I just spent about an hour trying to search the archives and can't seem to find the answer. What is the difference between the 2.6 kernel in rawhide and the kernel that arjanv keeps in http://people.redhat.com/arjanv? Thanks in advance! Brian

fedora.us downtime preparation details
by Warren Togami 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

This post is a followup to this previous announcement: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-January/msg00160.html I have changed download.fedora.us to point to my colo server at togami.com. The repository is not anywhere done syncing now. Use a different mirror if you want uninterrupted service. http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraMirrorList Complete mirror list http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/ Here is a really good mirror. I am attempting to have most of http://www.fedora.us and http://bugzilla.fedora.us moved too before the power goes out on Friday, but I may be unsuccessful. fedora.us mailing lists WILL BE DOWN until the power comes back, so fedora.us team please communicate on fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com. fedora-legacy-list(a)redhat.com needs your help too. Now I sleep... Warren

VIA EPIA-M/KM-400 X driver
by Alan Cox 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

If anyone is interested in trying the latest and greatest EPIA-M/KM-400 driver updates I've been doing there is a via_drv.o module available at http://www.linux.org.uk/~alan/via_drv.o Which you can drop into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers, set your chipset to "via" in /etc/X11/XF86Config and test. This should have everything in it that the nonfree drivers have except 3D (which is going to need major work to fix up) and the MPEG engine which is getting some initial investigation now- the biggest problem being that X has no "mpeg slice engine" interface yet.

some suggestions for xmms plugins
by Wayne Schuller 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

hi, There are a number of good xmms input plugins which I would like to suggest for FC2. They are xmms-flac (available at freshrpms) and xmms-speex (http://jzb.rapanden.dk/projects/speex-xmms) These would allows FC users to use good patent-happy compression techniques out of the box. flac is an excellent lossless compression. speex is an excellent speech compression. It is useful to have the xmms plugin for conferences that store their talks in this format. both plugins (and their source libraries) are available as free software. I have been using both and they are very stable. thanks, wayne -- Wayne Schuller <k_wayne(a)linuxpower.org>
