Network control device
by JERRY WHITMIRE 06 Nov '04

06 Nov '04

Can not get the network control device to stay at the primary dns that i set for 205.171.3.65 Or the secondary dns that is 205.171.2.65 to stay at these settings when i reboot my system it goes back to 192.168.0.1 primary dns and secondary 205.171.3.65 I can not get the internet to work with mozill if these settings do not stay as default. Is there any ideas out there that can help me. Jerry W. Whitmire jerryw4386(a)msn.com _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?

Fonts look odd in Mozilla/Firefox
by Gregory Gulik 06 Nov '04

06 Nov '04

I always thought the fonts looked odd in FC3T3 but when I put it side by side with a FC2 system I saw the problem was that the line spacing is much greater in FC3. In particular there seems to be several pixels of excess white space above each character causing the spacing problem. This is especially annoying on my laptop with a WXGA 1280x800 display. -- Greg Gulik http://www.gulik.org/greg/ greg @ gulik.org

Proliant CSB-6 Raid Drivers for Fedora
by Hewitt,William P - JSC 06 Nov '04

06 Nov '04

Slightly off topic..... Has anyone had any experience with getting these drivers into a "virgin" HP and then installing Redhat/Fedora? If so, can someone give me a clue - like which one will work? HP's site is not too obvious or straightforward.... TIA WPH

usb-ehci and a problem
by Paul F. Johnson 06 Nov '04

06 Nov '04

Hi, If I try to /sbin/modprobe usb-ehci, all I get is module ehci_usb cannot be found. Is anyone else seeing that? Also, I have a new floppy drive which has in it an SD reader and other card readers. This is picked up as it's connected to one of the USB plugs on the motherboard. There is power to it, but both /sbin/lsusb is showing nothing and kudzu didn't see anything. The drive itself (specs etc) can be seen at http://www.dabs.com/uk/channels/hardware/storage/productView.htm? quicklinx=2SRJ As usual, the manufacturers website is brain-dead enough to say their site is "optimised" for IE (what ever the heck that means - I'm guessing it means it's broken!) and doesn't even mention Linux. Does anyone know what modules I need to load for it (I have ohci and uhci as well as usb-storage loaded, but nothing seems to be found). Is it just a case of adding the devices to fstab and if so, what would they be called and where would they get mounted? I'm using FC3T3 (though when I reboot, it is saying I'm still on T2!)

OK, maybe I misunderstood. But his statement above didn't say anything about 2D or 3D. It simply said that the ati driver did not support the Rage Mobility chip. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

OK just out of curiosity after hacking the nv.c file and getting X working I decided to try the new driver they posted today as suggested.
