Just my 2 cents worth:
Wireless WPA support is a glaring omission, for one. The wpa_supplicant software doesn't integrate well with the current RedHat scripts.

moin / bugzilla / qemu
by Florian La Roche
I've briefly tested a nearly current FC-development install
and have put together the following rpm packages to be installed
pretty easy:
- moin 1.3.5 (update to patch 935 to include all patches form the 1.3 branch)
- bugzilla 2.20 (with all patches from 2.20-branch from cvs)
- qemu: this package builds together with the kqemu kernel modul. You have
to download it from the http://qemu.org/ website and then compile the
src.rpm)
regards,
Florian La Roche

Open Office 2.0 - GNOME integration
by Igor Jagec
Is there any chance to see the GNOME version of Open Office 2.0? SUSE
10.0 and Ubuntu 5.10 have it, but not FC4 and Rawhide which uses some
generic icon theme, or something. It looks much better...
Cheers!

Default touchpad configuration confusing
by Joe Desbonnet
This may be more an up stream issue for Gnome or x.org, but it does
seriously impact the usability of FC on laptops:
With recent versions of FC (I think since FC4) I've found using the
touchpad on my laptop a frustrating experience: The Firefox browser
would go back a page at random (eg you compose an email in gmail, you
then reach for the send button, but the browser would just go back to
the login page before you can reach the send button).
Last night after some research I finally discovered this seems to be
related to the Synaptics driver in X.org. There is all sorts of fancy
stuff to emulate button 4,5,6 and 7 etc. It turns out that by default
if you slide your finger from right to left near the bottom of the pad
you get a button 6 event which will cause Firefox to go back a page.
As far as I can tell there is zero documentation on this on the FC
distribution. The Desktop->Preferences menu assumes you are using a
mouse. There should be a finger pad menu item there also.
I think it would be best to keep the touch pad functionality at a
minimum by default (ie just mouse movement and button 1 by tapping)
and allow the user to enable extra stuff through the configuration
menus.
BTW: this touchpad driver project is at:
http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/
and a touch pad configuration utility here:
http://ltpconf.sourceforge.net/sshots.html

IMPORTANT: xinitrc soon to be obsolete and replaced by xorg-x11-xinit and xorg-x11-xdm
by Mike A. Harris
In the near future, modular X will be landing in rawhide as
many are aware. One new change this will bring, is 2 new
packages:
xorg-x11-xdm
xorg-x11-xinit
The xdm package is new, because it is now it's own src.rpm, not
a subpackage of xorg-x11. The xinit package contains the xinit
binary, and it's related scripts and whatnot.
A side effect of this, is that the "xinitrc" package which we
have shipped for many years, which contained the xinitrc scripts
and configs, and xdm scripts and configs - is now no longer
needed.
The various scripts/configs that were previously in "xinitrc"
will be moved into the xorg-x11-xinit or xorg-x11-xdm modular
X packages as appropriate. This change will not occur until
modular X is integrated directly into the rawhide tree.
This message is just a heads up of this change, in order to
prepare other developers who might have packages which currently
depend on the "xinitrc" package, that depending on if/how
their package lists its dependencies, it may soon need to be
updated to do one of:
Requires: xorg-x11-xinit
or
Requires: xorg-x11-xdm
Possible packages that might be affected, are gdm, kdm, and
various i18n related packages such as input method servers.

- Added "Provides: iceauth" virtual provide for KDE and other things which
need iceauth, so that they can drop their artificial dependency on the
xorg-x11 package in preparation for X11R7.
- Added "Provides: mkfontdir mkfontscale ucs2any bdftruncate" to font-utils
subpackage, to ease the move to modular X.
- Removed "Provides: XFree86-libs = 4.4.0" because it simply is not true.
- Remove some of the build_mharris conditionals that are no longer useful to
me.

libXext eludes linker, mod X issue?
by sean darcy
xorg-x11-6.8.2-58 on amd64.
All of a sudden, builds ( xine, dvdauthor) break with:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext
but
ldconfig -v | grep Xext
libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.4
libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.4
locate libXext
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.4
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so
/usr/X11R6/lib64/libXext.a
/usr/X11R6/lib64/libXext.so
/usr/X11R6/lib64/libXext.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib64/libXext.so.6.4
Adding LDFLAGS seems to fix this, but why is the linker
suddenly unable to find -lXext on its own? Does it know
xorg-x11-devel is going?
