REALLY SLICK SCREENSAVERS
by Mark Guzzo
Hello,
I just installed the REALLY SLICK SCREENSAVERS from
http://www.gurulabs.com/downloads.html When I goto the Screensaver
Preferences to try on out, I get this error:
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"
I'm using the newest drivers from NVIDIA and I removed the DRI from
XF86Config. On the gurulabs site they said that you would need the
NVIDIA drivers for these to work. Has anyone be able to get these to
work in Severn?

menu icon different from properties icon
by sean darcy
On my bottom panel strip I have an application launcher for the mozilla
beta. There's also the standard htmlview launcher next to the red hat.
In the properties for the mozilla beta launcher it shows the red dragon
mozilla icon - /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-icon.png . BUT, the launcher
itself keeps showing the htmlview icon ( the world with the mouse).
So...?
sean

Real Player 8 works ... Surprised... Other Multimedia
by Jim Cornette
Since I have a completely new installation. I thought that I'd try Real
player and found version 8. I installed it, expecting it to not work.
I didn't have to add LD_ASSUME_KERNEL whatever.
My question is mainly asking about why the prefix to launch the program
is no longer needed. Is there some list to reference certain apps before
nptl? Or is the Severn kernel "unbroke"?
Also, I'm trying out certain DVD playing applications from freshrpms.
For the Xine pleyer, I got a problem with Severn having a newer version
of glut than Xine depended upon. Also, Xine locks up on being able to
control it with movement of the mouse. The controls and focus for the
application are lost. I needed to do a killall -9 xine to quit the program.
I also tried out ogle and found the program to work like I would expect
a DVD player to act. It is from Freshrpms also.
With the reduction of multimedia, within RHL. It seems that the other
avenues to obtain multimedia applications are filling the void.

dimension 4600 ich5 sound card drive
by seth vidal
Hi,
I noticed that it appears the ich5 driver for the dell dimension 4600
integrated sound card is now supported in the 2.4.22pre kernels. Any
possibility of backporting (or side-porting) this driver into the red
hat kernels for severn or the next beta?
This hardware is becoming more common and supporting this out of the box
would be handy.

severn,. 2.6.0, and sysfs
by Ben Hsu
Hello,
As I understand it, under 2.6.0 sysfs is supposed to be mounted under
/sys. I did this by editing /etc/fstab and adding the line to
/etc/rc.sysinit (basically copying and pasting the line where it mounts
/proc). Is this correct? Or is there a "more correct" way to go about
this?
Thanks in advance,
- Ben

The yum rpm miss libxml2-python dependency.
$ rpm -i libxml2-python-2.5.8-3.i386.rpm libxml2-2.5.8-3.i386.rpm
And yum work fine :-)
There is no component for yum in bugzilla ("Red Hat Rawhide" and "Red
Hat Linux Beta").

Strange start scripts...
by Michael Bischof
Is there a reason why:
- smartd only gets started in runlevel 3 and 5 ?
- smartd and irqbalance don't get started in runlevel 2 ?
If not, how about fixing it? ;)
