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.

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.

f10 beta sendmail boot delay
by cornel panceac
after installing f10beta (x86_64) from current boot.iso, the boot has a
significant delay waiting for sendmail and sm-client to fail. the problem is
not present after installing from live cd. of course, disabling the sendmail
service skips the problem for now.

F10 Beta testing resaults :)
by "Jóhann B. Guðmundsson"
Testing hardware Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop.
http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_1e833eea-791b-4f97-ba29-424a1be3fa48
Testing release Fedora 10 Cambridge Beta i386 DVD.
All test are performed with 200 MiB /boot, 2048 MiBSwap and 7904 MiB LVM
partition.
Keyboard layout set to Icelandic and Time zone to Atlantic/Reykjavik UTC .
Standard Next --> Done installation with Selinux enabled.
Total 1066 packages install.
Installation.
Kernel parameter(s) needed: Yes nomodeset and ext4 to enable ext4 support
Graphical issues encountered see Bug 464795 for further detail.
Bypassed by adding nomodeset.
Wired network connection established during install = Yes
Wireless network connection established during install = No
( Probably not supported )
Anaconda crashed during the package installation's
in one of the installs with network error.
I did not having an network cable attached.
Unfortunately I did no have a usb key
at that moment nor was I enable to recreate it..
Necessary was it for me add the kernel parameter nomodeset
to boot time if I did not do that the system would hang in firstboot.
Noticed that Pidgin has been replaced by the crappy not working secfaulting
100% cpu load causing piece if shit IM better known as Empathy
( Me bitter no well yes.. )
I recommend against replacing IM and strongly advice it will atleast be
put off until
F11 is released.
You dont replace people's IM unless the new IM brings some major
changes/features
CPU eating does not category's as a feature!
Also noticed that s-c-d had been removed from the default install.
Now if only xrandr could show which graphics drivers is being used
*hint* *hint*
Since we are in the process of removing/replacing thing why dont we
remove/replace evolution for thunderbird.
No selinux errors for the first time. :)
I was unable to get bluetooth file transfer to work
Detecting and pairing worked ok..
Sound work out of the box..
Network both wired and wireless work out of the box
NetworkManager with connection sharing seems not to work with wpa/wpa2
Connecting to a samba server work out of the box
Thats good for now..
Best regards

For those of you who haven't seen it yet...
by Gilbert Sebenste
The latest version of Postfix, version 2.5.5-1, has been posted in Koji,
for both Fedora 8 and 9. Well worth the wait; mine works great on F8.
Thanks twoerner!
