The fonts now are too obscure to see after updating today.
by 肇 鑫
Greeting everyone.
I update the XFree86 to 4.3.0-42 today.
I notice that the fonts change a lot now. However, I think they are worse
than before.
If you are somebody like me, who choose Chinese as default, you will find
the characters become so obscure now. I believe that if this is still
existed, fedora should not be released.
I use a notebook with 14.1 @ 1024*768. So I try to reset fonts using LCD
mode in font setting. But it seems no changes happened.
So please chech-out want is wrong in that.
Thanks.
Best wishes.

For those others out there (few though they may be) who would like to be
able to edit applications:/// try these instructions at your own risk
(they're pulled verbatim from
http://people.ecsc.co.uk/~matt/repository.html and they worked fine for
me).
Menu-editing in RedHat 9
* To enable menu editing per user config (via nautilus), you need
to open a terminal and do the following:
su -
<give root password>
cd /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules
cp default-modules.conf default-modules.conf-no-menu-editing
cp default-modules.conf.with-menu-editing default-modules.conf
For any user you want to have the right to edit their menu, you
also need to do this as the user:
cd ~/.gnome2/vfolders
cp /etc/X11/desktop-menus/applications.menu
applications.vfolder-info
* When gnome-panel is restarted (via logout/login or kill) the
user will be able to see the changes they have made to their
menu.
Enjoy,

Setting Default System Theme
by jeff
What file contains the default system theme? I mean, when you add a new user,
they get that theme automatically instead of Bluecurve.
I've changed a number of files, but they don't do the trick:
/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
/etc/skel/.gtkrc
/etc/gconf/schemas/desktop_gnome_interface.schemas
/etc/gconf/schemas/metacity.schemas
/usr/share/themes/Default/gtk/gtkrc
Anyone? :)
Thanks,
-Jeff

Battery status problem (with ACPI)
by Peter Boy
If I activate ACPI the gnome battery applet shows up with 0%.
If I check /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state I get:
present: yes
ERROR: Unable to read battery status
Is this usual for the current status of acpi support or is there an
error? (as mentioned in another message, I get a warning in dmsg about a
broken AML implementation)

2.4.22-1.2115.nptl kernel lockups with acpi
by Joshua Legbandt
I'm experiencing kernel lockups with 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl after I receive
the following messages in /var/log/messages:
Nov 2 06:56:23 suburbia kernel: ACPI-0345: *** Error: Handler for
[EmbeddedControl] returned AE_TIME
Nov 2 06:56:23 suburbia kernel: ACPI-1120: *** Error: Method
execution failed [\_SB_.BAT1.SEBS] (Node c163f9c0), AE_TIME
Nov 2 06:56:23 suburbia kernel: ACPI-1120: *** Error: Method
execution failed [\_SB_.BAT1._BST] (Node c163f800), AE_TIME
These lockups seem to happen at random intervals, anywhere from every 20
to 60 minutes. I was not receiving these errors and lockup with
kernel-2.4.22-1.2111.nptl

Bluetooth and 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl problems?
by Daniel Durgin
At boot up I get a messege about lsmod not being able
to load 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl bluetooth modules, because
they already exist.
Forgive me for not having the real message, for some
reason they are not show up with dmesg.
I can't sync ( pilot-xfer -p net:any -l ) with my
Tungsten T even though I can log in ppp via Bluetooth
just fine.
I am on the right track?

ACPI AML problem on Thinkpad T40p - how to correct?
by Peter Boy
I activated acpi on my IBM Thinkpad T40p. ACPI it meant for device
enumaration only and, indeed, the power saving functions nor the battery
applet did work.
Inspecting /var/log/messages I found:
Nov 1 14:26:09 ibmLaptop kernel: ACPI-0178: *** Warning: The ACPI
AML in your computer contains errors, please nag the manufacturer to
correct it.
Nov 1 14:26:09 ibmLaptop kernel: ACPI-0181: *** Warning: Allowing
relaxed access to fields; turn on CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG for details.
Nov 1 14:26:09 ibmLaptop kernel: ACPI: Interpreter enabled
Is the AML (ACPI Machine Language) issue related to the DSDT issues,
which has been reported here several times? I couldn't determine it
based on the information I found on the ACPI project pages and INTEL's.
And how to correct it or is it even necessary to correct? I suppose a
kindly letter for Mr. Palmisano will not help so much :-).

ifup issues
by Jaap A. Haitsma
Hi,
I have a Cisco Aironet 340 PCMCIA wireless access card. ifup and ifdown
have the expected behaviour but ifup generates some output I think it
should not generate.
* Issue 1, when my card is in Managed mode
I get the following extraneous line:
Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported
It is generated by ethtool -i in the following line in ifup (line 212)
if [ "${TYPE}" = "Bonding" ] || ethtool -i $DEVICE | grep -q "driver:
bonding" ; then
* Issue 2, when my card is in Auto mode
I get the following extra output
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument.
Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported
First two lines are generated by
iwconfig $DEVICE mode $MODE (line 34 of ifup-wireless)
last line again by ifup
* Issue 3
I have set the option that normal users can issue an ifup and an ifdown
and I also have encryption enabled on my wireless link.
redhat-config-network saves the WEP key in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-wifi0
and gives this file rw permission for only the root owner. Issuing an
ifup or ifdown as a normal user then gives the following extra output
/sbin/ifup: line 48: keys-wifi0: Permission denied
It's easily solved by just changing the permissions of the file, but in
my opinion redhathe file should be world readable if I tell
redhat-config-network that I want users to be able to control the device
