Mouse Wheel gone
by Christian Menzel
Since the latest xorg-X11 upgrade I receive the already mentioned XKB
error and the mouse wheel is not working anymore.
Has anybody seen this behavior?

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.

/etc/inittab went away && wlan has weird device name
by Julian C. Dunn
I just did a yum update, updating to initscripts 8.31.1-1 (among other
things like a new kernel). When I rebooted, init complained that inittab
was missing, so I rebooted into rescue mode and found that there was
an /etc/inittab.rpmsave but no /etc/inittab. Has anyone else had this
problem?
Also, I'm using a Thinkpad T42 (2378RAU) and the wireless card shows up
as a weird device after boot:
dev8569 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:35:FC:39:23
Does anyone know why?

autoconf breakage on x86_64.
by Sam Varshavchik
I don't know the right way to fix this, but something is definitely broken;
and something needs to be fixed, one way or the other. The question is what
exactly needs to be fixed.
Consider something like this:
LIBS="-lresolv $LIBS"
AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC(res_query, AC_MSG_RESULT(yes), AC_MSG_RESULT(no))
Here's what happens on x86_64:
gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./.. conftest.c -lresolv >&5
/tmp/ccW7EeDX.o(.text+0x7): In function `main':
/home/mrsam/src/courier/authlib/configure:5160: undefined reference to
`res_query'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:5147: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
[ blah blah blah ]
| /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
| builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
| char res_query ();
| int
| main ()
| {
| res_query ();
| ;
| return 0;
| }
The same exact test on FC1 x86 will work.
The reason appears to be that you have to #include <resolv.conf> on x86_64
in order to succesfully pull res_query() out of libresolv.so. You don't
need to do this on x86, and the test program generated by AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC
does not include any headers, but uses a manual prototype.
So, what now?

Please strip out the patch that brings up applications behind gnome-terminal
by Miles Lane
Hello,
I cannot understand why on earth xorg or Gnome
has been changed to render new application behind
gnome-terminal. Every time I run a program (surprise!)
I want to use it. I don't want to keep playing around
with gnome-terminal. So, can we please strip this
change out of Fedora Core?

Gnucash busted
by Jonathan Corbet
I've been using the gnucash development releases in Fedora without
trouble - until recently. Now, on startup, it gives me:
Backtrace:
In current input:
1: 0* [gnc:main]
In /usr/share/gnucash/guile-modules/gnucash/main.scm:
241: 1 (if (not (gnc:handle-command-line-args)) (gnc:shutdown 1))

241: 3* [gnc:handle-command-line-args]

190: 5* (do ((rest (cdr #)) (quit? #f) (item #f)) ((or quit? (null? rest))) ...)
199: 6* (if (not #) (begin # # #) (if # # #))
199: 7* [not ...
199: 8* [string=? "--" ...
200: 9* (make-shared-substring item 0 (min (string-length item) 2))

/usr/share/gnucash/scm/command-line.scm:200:26: Unbound variable: make-shared-substring
Both 1.9.5 and 1.9.6 have done this. Is something generally broken, or
is this a bit of special behavior just for me?
Thanks,

x86 libs on x86_64 - when will they be gone?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I've noticed I have quite a few x86 libs from rawhide on my x86_64
boxes. I know they're there as not everything is 64 bit native yet (such
as OOo), but is there a target date for a "pure" x86_64 based version?

Text is missing
by Jim Bevier
After todays updates, no text is displayed in KDE. You can see text while
menus are redrawn, but they then disappear. Under GNOME, they mostly work.
Some text needs to be moused over before it is displayed. I have no idea
what broke this. Any help on how to figure out what is bad would be
appreciated.
