why have I lost gedit???

 For some reason I can't get gedit to run anymore.

==============================================

I recently installed the NVidia drivers, using export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1
in order for the module to be complied with the default Fedora kernel.
I did notice some strange behavoir a few minutes age, while playing
Shisen-sho: the screen would suddenly go out of sync, and I had to
hit a key (moving the mouse didn't work) to restore my screen...

Did my glibc libraries get corrupted?

Recently during Severn beta1, and now with Fedora Core, I would
"lose" the mouse pointer, or it would freeze. Unplugging and replugging
the (USB) mouse into the hub would fix this frequent occurrence....

You should have changed the $CC variable instead to the version of gcc 
included with Fedora that matches the gcc that was used to compile the 
kernel.  Mismatching GCCs for kernel modules can lead to breakage.

For that matter, I don't know if anybody should be using Nvidia drivers 
with the beta, as it will corrupt any reasonable kernel issue found, as 
it will be tainted.

Well, unless I want embarrasingly slow software emulation of 3D stuff, 
and missing features needed by the media players, I need the "evil" 
commercial nvidia driver.

But agreed, don't mask the problem with IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH, but rather 
set CC=gcc32 and build the driver.

So I should re-run the Nvidia drivers, but this
time
instead of "export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1", I should do:
"set CC=gcc32". Is this the correct syntax?

TIA,

I did both... they seemed to work, but I'm still having stability
problems.  I would think CC=gcc32 is the best option.

Using "set CC=gcc32" *or* "export CC=gcc32" the complie 
fails. Since it works with "IGNORE...", I guess I'll just leave
it at that.

That's odd, saying "export CC=gcc32", then running nvidia-installer 
worked fine here (athlon 1100) - had you touched anything in the kernel 
source directory?

NO.  ..anyway, it works with "export IGNORE_ ...", so I best not 
fiddle around too much...

FWIW,

There was a post yesterday on the users list:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-September/msg00334.html

with a solution that I tried and it works for me (Dell i8200 w/ 64 Mb
GeForce4). You then need to make the typical changes to XF86Config as
per routine.

Simply put, use:

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run --add-this-kernel

and then:

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2-custom.run

Thanks to Rodrigo.

HTH,

Marc

... erm, well the Nvidia drivers *did* compile using "IGNORE..." It's
after posting the message, I realised that I had not re-edited 
/etc/X11/XF86Config. I've done so, and just rebooted.
Now gedit runs again from the menu, and from a console 
window.

Good point. However, I think I can safely say that those of us
who
are using the nVidia drivers have made it a point of mentioning this
in any bug reports, and the Red Hatters are taking this into account.

In any case, I was able to boot into the system, after re-editing
inittab to do a graphical login. I had simply forgotten the extra step
of modifying XF86Config.

<*WHEW*>!!!
... escaped by the skin of my teeth!
