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.

Install using vesa fails with ATI X700
by Patrick Lists
Hi all,
Just installed F7T1 i386 on my Acer 4005 x86_64 laptop on a separate
partition I had reserved for F7T1. This laptop has an ATI X700 video
chipset. On both FC6 and F7T1 anaconda correctly detects the ATI X700
but when it starts X the output gets sent to the external monitor or
TV-out port so I only get a black screen. On FC6 I could specify vesa as
a boot option which then worked fine. However, F7T1 does understand it
needs to use vesa but it fails to start X and it falls back to text
mode.
Anyone had similar experiences with using vesa?

Patrick

NFS mount problem on f7 from fc5
by Allen Kistler
Basically I can't mount an fc5 export on f7-test. Is anyone else seeing
this problem?
The error message I get in f7 is:
# mount -t nfs -v ack603:/var/ftp /mnt/nfs
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on ack603:/var/ftp,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I mount my ftp directory from other machines (fc5, fc6) all the time.
/var/log/message doesn't contain anything at all on the error. The
error occurs straight "out of the box" (the test dvd) and after updating
everything to rawhide.
The export machine is fc5 with all the latest rpms. Portmap is running.
There is no netfilter to get in the way anywhere. Am I missing
something? Clues welcome.

F7Test3: dropped to login screen (maybe German only?)
by Guido Ledermann
After installing F7Test3 i386 I was not asked about Firewall, Selinux etc. I
could not add any user or something like that. Is that may caused by this
"plural" bug that also hits system-config-user when you install F7 in
German?
I have not read about this issue from our English testers, yet. Are there
any German installers who can validate my suspicions? Sebastian, maybe?
