Depends on the chipset, you might go to
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/BTTV/index.html where they do have a
fairly decent list of compatable cards. I didn't see your card listed, but
you might search the FCC database using the FCC id numbers to determin who
really made the card and check the howto using that information. There are a
lot of brands that are actually oem manufactured by the same company so
sometimes an FCC database search is the best bet. after that if you the basic
card is not listed, you will have to email or call the manufacturer to get
the tech specs.

xorg blowup
by James Pifer
I used apt to upgrade my system to the latest packages. Everything is
fine except for my display. I'm running FC3 on an HP nx9110 with an
external 1280x1024 17 inch LCD. Prior to running the upgrade I had
1280x1024 resolution on the monitor.
Now I can't get it to take any high resolution. I can't see the top or
bottom menus. I even tried my old xorg.conf that I had backed up. Didn't
work either. It also doesn't appear to save the settings I select. I
also tried use dual head and spanning windows to see what would happen
and doesn't work either. This is really getting frustrating.
Here's my log file. Anyone willing to take a look?
http://www.obrien-pifer.com/xorg.log
The only thing I see is that is says it does not detect a secondary
monitor. I'm currently using the secondary monitor (laptop screen is
down).
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
James

history command
by jim martin
I was wondering how the command history work. For
example when I type history in the root, I am seeing
all the past commands that I had type. But my
colleague did type some commands just now but they
seems not shown in the history file. He is type those
command using root too. Anyone know why it is not
shown in my history command session output. Anyone
know why?
Besides, how do I see other non-root user command
history ?

Problems with top and CPU-usage for multi-threaded programs under 2.6
by Alex Greg
Hi,
It seems that under the 2.6 kernel (Fedora Core 3), top doesn't show
the CPU usage for multi-threaded programs properly. It appears to show
the correct CPU usage for the main program, but it doesn't show the
CPU for the threads of this program.
This is fine for some programs where the main program is the one that
does the CPU-intensive operations, but for some of our in-house Java
programs, the main program doesn't do anything CPU-wise, but instead
the CPU-intensive operations are done by separate threads.
In this situation, top incorrectly reports the CPU usage of the
program as 0% - this makes it very confusing when running top on the
machine to find out where all the CPU is being used!
Is there any way to change this behaviour, or is this a known issue?
Regards,

CUPS not 'resetting' as I'd expect
by Matt Morgan
Rather than try to summarize this problem, let me just start in with
the symptoms and workarounds, which seem related. Background: about 12
FC3 workstations, printing via CUPS with a samba connection to a
printer shared by a Win2K server. We use a dummy print user
"linuxprint" as the username to connect to the shared printer.
Symptom/Workaround 1: when we tried to add this printer to each
workstation, we thought we could just ssh over and copy in a new
/etc/cups/printers.conf file. Upon restarting CUPS, for example by
restarting the computer, we expected users to be able to print to the
new printer. But they couldn't; we had to login as root, go into the
GUI printers config (System Settings--Printers), and edit the printer.
We didn't have to change anything, only go into the printer and click
OK. Then they could print.
Symptom/Workaround 2: recently we reinstalled some of our Windows
servers after a crash, and we forgot, at first, to recreate this
"linuxprint" user. So Linux users were getting the
NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE message. We recreated the linuxprint user,
with the same password as before. Upon restarting CUPS, for example by
restarting the computer, we expected this login failure message to go
away and for people to be able to print. But again, only by editing
the printer and clicking OK (not making any changes) could we get
people printing.
Is this normal? If so, how can I remotely fix people's CUPS settings?
I don't want to keep visiting every station and running the printer
config as root every time we have to change something. If it's not
normal, what could be going wrong?
Thanks,
Matt

web multimedia procols.
by Robin Laing
Hello,
Today I tried to access an online tutorial for a product that we are
using. I found that I could not access the multimedia files or
download them as expected.
In Mozilla I kept getting and error about an unrecognized protocol.
The link was similar to this.
mss://www.someserver.com/multimedia/thisfile.wmv
The protocol error was related to the mss://
I have searched for any information on this protocol with no success
and I need to find out if this is one of those strange MS only things.
I think it has to do with streaming the video or data but not sure.

Intermittent sshd issue
by Alex Greg
Hi,
One of our machines has a problem every couple of weeks where it stops
accepting new SSH connections. Existing ones work fine, but any
attempt to create a new one fails with this error:
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Restarting the sshd fixes the problem for another couple of weeks, but
it keeps re-occurring. Any pointers as to how this could be fixed (for
good!) would be very much appreciated. The machine is running Fedora
Core 1.
