X for i810 video is still not working with xorg-x11-6.7.99.902-6
by Jim Cornette
Since X is down for those with the 810 or 815 version of video cards, I
have been copying the driver from the earlier X version that is on the
FC3T1 CD to the below.
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/i815_drv.o
When X is installed and is does not come up, I then replace the
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/i810_drv.o
file with the working driver, in order to get my X up and running.
Anyway, on the newer installations, the older i810_dvr.o driver is
replaced with the latest version. I therefore test out the newest driver
and find that it failed.
This is interesting to me, except the below bug is said to be checked
into CVS.
https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1084 (and 1086)
How soon will this fix take to get incorporated into the next release of X?
Jim
PS: The connection problem that was reported earlier is now gone. After
I downloaded the rpms for the days between 8/22 and today, on the FC2
system. I chrooted in a mingetty terminal this test installation,
mounted the directory which contained the downloaded rpms. I then rpm
-Uvh *.rpm all of the packages within the directory that contained the
downloaded rpms. 85 rpms upgraded and then after exiting the chrooted
FC3T1 environment running in tty1 and closing down the FC2 applications
(tty2, tty3 and X environment), I rebooted into the FC3T1 system and
tested the NIC and X. X did not work, net did.

vsftpd fails
by Bill Maidment
Hi
On FC3-test1 with vsftpd-2.0.1-1 rpm on an Opteron, I cannot get vsftpd
to run. It says OK and creates the lock file, but it isn't running. I
cannot see any log messages or any errors. I'm using the same config
that worked on FC2.
Can anyone shed light on this?
Cheers

Big in network-functions - empty resolv.conf created via DHCP
by TGS
There seems to be a bug in the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions
script. The usage of networking setup that has interface configured to use
DHCP and get the DNS information from the server results in a blank
resolv.conf file being created.
I have tried the setup with two different machines, on two different
networks, that have two different DHCP servers. One is a MS DHCP server, and
the other is a Fedora based dhcpd server. Both yield a blank filed when
updated to the latset development build.
Replacement of an older (development updates before last week)
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions script over the latest
(current with development updates as of yesterday) network-functions script
allows the resolv.conf to be generated correctly again.
Usage of kompare with the two files, shows that the resolv.conf related code
was thoroughly edited with a new generation scheme.

Kernel or Xorg what is the problem?
by Oldman
Hi list:
After a weekend of cursing, I got my system up and running this A.M.
only to be puzzled by the sudden failure of my machine to properly
display vga modes after X is started.
My boot param includes the instruction vga=792 so that I get a nice Hi-
Res screen during boot-up and that works fine until rhgb starts up and
then I get a blank screen until Gnome starts and then I have a nice
normal 1280 X 1024 display. If I do a Ctl-Alt-F1, I get an unreadable
display at the top of the screen (the balance of the screen still looks
like my Gnome background) The unreadable display is the console, as I
can see the cursor and if I then force a reboot with Ctl-Alt-Delete I
can see that screen scrolling data, I also can move a mouse pointer
within that area (though it appears as 5 blocks across the screen.
Well I was just about ready to file a bugzilla, when I tried a reboot to
an older kernel (2.6.8-1.524) and under that kernel the screen modes
work as expected. (though I have only the 1 resolution in X)
So has anyone else seen any of this? I tried to look in
freedesktop/bugzilla, but found no bug there.

Bash History Scrolling
by Bob Chiodini
Cannot move completely through the command history with up and down
arrows.
Up arrow through several previous commands, then down arrow. The
farther you move back in the history the more of the most recent
commands seem to be lost. Clear as mud? Try it.

GnoCHM Package request
by M Galvin
Hi All,
I came across a package called GnoCHM which provides the ability to view
M$ Compiled HTML files. Many forms of documentation use this format and
currently there is no reader for this format in Fedora Core (i couldn't
find one).
I would like to request that this package get included in the core
distro as it can be very useful and adds to Fedora increased cross
platform compatibility.
The package can be found here:
http://gnochm.sourceforge.net/
It needs a few extra python modules so it is not a completly straight
foward install, but not hard either. Please let me know if this is a
possibilty. I can provide installation details for FC3T1 if needed
although it has pretty good documentation already.
Thanks,
Matt

How Do I build the kernel source rpm?
by Bob Chiodini
Sorry if this has been covered. Nothing relevant turned up searching
the -test or -devel list archives.
I've noticed that there is no kernel source under /usr/src. How/where
do I get the source?

Error during make bzImage
by sstengler＠covad.net
Trying to recompile my FC3 Test 1 .478 kernel. Keep gettign an error when running
"make bzImage", saying there is no such file or directory. The first file is
CHK include/asm-i386/asm_offsets.h
arch/i386/asm-offsets.s
/bin/sh: line 1: arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s: No such file or directory
those files do not exsit on my system. I installed almost everything from the
CD's, so I'm at a loss as to where these header files shoudl be.

wireless problems w/ Cisco Aironet
by Maurice F. Piller
Hi All,
I have a Cisco pcmcia wireless network card for my laptop, it's an Aironet
PCM352 type. I am unable to get this card to work properly with FC3T1, however
the card works when I boot the laptop with a Knoppix 3.3 CD. Anyone have this
card working with Fedora?
Fedora loads yenta_socket, ds, airo, airo_cs modules. The card is activated
and when I issue "iwconfig eth0 essid any" the card will find the access point
and get the correct essid value.
I can also do an "ifcfg eth0 up" or sometimes "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network
restart" and it appears to bring up the interface but it does not work
properly.
What happens is that I will get an ip address, but when I try mozilla it cannot
connect to anything. I try to ssh to a remote machine, and I can actually
login to the remote machine successfully but then the connection will lock
up/freeze immediately.
Thanks,
--Maurice
