NVIDIA Question
by David St.Clair
This may be a dumb question, but why can't Redhat distribute NVIDIA binary
drivers?
In NVIDIA's licence (http://www.nvidia.com/object/nv_swlicense.html) it
says:
"2.1.2 Linux Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section
2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux operating system
may be
copied and redistributed, provided that the binary files thereof are not
modified in any
way (except for unzipping of compressed files)."
So, what's keeping RedHat from putting the drivers in the distribution? If
it's a GPL
thing, would it be easy to just download it during installation or at
least give the option to the user?
Thanks,

Mouse goes crazy
by Jonathan Villa
Ok, I have had Yarrow working well for a while now, but yesterday I
started experiencing some odd issues with my mouse. All of a sudden it
stops working correctly. The only thing that seems to fix is to kill X
and run mouse-test, then restart.
Any ideas?
Also, I have FC 1 running on a desktop which is hooked up to a KVM
switch. Whenever I go to another PC, and return, the same thing
happens, the mouse goes crazy.

I have the same symptoms...
rpcinfo says that nfs et.al. are running.
Something has changed in test 2, since the same PC running RH9
accesses that host just fine.

With experimental release of EXT4 in 2.6.19, is it possible it will be in
rawhide soon and in FC7 at release time?

Are My RPM/Yum Seg-Faults Due to the Kernel FIle Corruption?
by Paul Dickson
Is the file corruption problem currently being discussed on LKML related
to the RPM/Yum seg-faults I occasionally on my 300 MHz, PII, notebook
(with only 256 MB of RAM)?
I usually see the seg-faults while glibc-common is being updated during a
large update (within the first 2 or 3 files of 30+ file update). If I
update glibc* first, that, and the following updated of the remainder
always works. If glibc has a lot of dependency info, I can see the
/var/lib/rpm/__db.00* databases taking a hit and requiring manual
deletion to restart.
If this is true, this bug might have started before FC6 was released, but
only gets hit when memory runs low.

mirror list and debuginfo bad, Ok with direct URL
by Jim Cornette
I just had a crash with gnome-games and decided to install the debuginfo
package so the information provided in the reports would be more useful
to track down the problem with the bug buddy output. I had to use the
direct url instead of the mirrorlist to get to the debuginfo packages.
Should the default be for the single url since these packages are in
less demand than the other binary rpms?
