Re: Fedora 6 on Acer Aspire 1694WLMi
by Martina Egger 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

Hi, thank you all for your help. I downloaded the latest respin FC6 from the Fedora Unity, and installed in text-mode. Installation worked well. But after the restart, it is not possible to go into the system in graphic mode. When I try to start X11, I get a black screen ...... Does anyone of you has an idea, if I should change some settings in the xorg.conf, or if I could do something else?

Martina My laptop is an Aspire 3004WlMi, and it works perfectly, so I imagine a lower versioned member of the same line would also work fine. -- http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ - Get Firefox! http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ - Reclaim Your Inbox!

But I suggest you download and install the latest respin from http://torrent.fedoraunity.org/ as it contains significative bug fixes WRT the official FC6 release (and you will need to download less updates after the installation...) ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fedora-laptop-list mailing list Fedora-laptop-list(a)redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-laptop-list End of Fedora-laptop-list Digest, Vol 11, Issue 10 **************************************************

Will Fedora core 6 work perfect on dell inspiron 6000( multimedia, wireless, and browsing)
by Rajkumar Murthy 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

Hi, I am a fan of linux operating system. But for the past 6 months couldnt work much cause of my job, which is completely on windows platform. But will be a linux supporter forever. Now the reason I am sending you this email is i read through about fedora core 6 and since my laptop has become old and is not able to sustain the windows operating system (windows XP) anymore...for reasons like it is slow . My main problem before with fedora was configuring the wireless wifi on linux box..and i have a dell inspiron 6000 with a intel wireless card BG2200..and wanted to know will it work if i have a wpa wireless network at my home. If so i am ready to install fedora core 6 on my laptop and have fun like i used to and will never have to think about getting a new laptop. Thanks, -- Rajkumar Murthy, Texas Tech University.

realtek 8168 PCIE on Fedora6
by Ant_thok! 18 Mar '07

18 Mar '07

I don't know if the same question have been asked before.. I am using fedora core 6 and I have difficulties on using my network card normally. I have installed the driver which I got from the realtek website but it doesn't work well. It fails on high load network traffic (even just downloading something). I'm sure that the problem is on my Fedora since I can assure you that the network is fine, and also the the card (I'm using windows on the same machine and the card works well). Any suggestion? Thx b4.. ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling? Check out "Tonight's Picks" on Yahoo! TV. http://tv.yahoo.com/

Some commands like cardctl do not exist?
by Hyewon Jun 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

Hi, I have used Fedora 3 before, and used "cardctl info" and "service pcmcia restart" to play with PCMCIA wireless cards. However, when I installed Fedora Core 6 and typed those commands, the error message showed up saying the commands do not exist. What could I have done with the installation? Or, how can I fix it to use those commands? Thank you! -Hyewon
