Gnome Panel Auto-Hide
by Ali Helmy
Hey lads,
I turned on Auto-Hide for my gnome top-panel and then resized the auto-hide
to 0 pxs, and it worked fine... however, when I restarted the computer and
logged back in, it doesn't work anymore... turning auto-hide on or off has
no effect what so ever, and it stays this way and i cant get it to function
again

Cheers,
A. Helmy

FC 5 black screen before install
by 스팸관리자
I have downloaded, sha1sum'ed and burned a set of CD install discs.
After booting from disc 1, I hit <enter> to start a graphical install
and get a black screen. I have tried several variants of 'linux xxx'
at the boot: prompt and all result in the black screen.
I'm running:
Asus A7V333
AMD Athlon XP 1800
512 MB RAM
nVidia NV15DDR GeForce2 Ti
Sony Trinitron Multiscan G400
Any ideas on getting an install process that I can see executing?
Thanks!

UDEV on FC5
by Karl Larsen
I loaded Fedora Core 5 and notice that udev is part of the bootup. I
think this is why in this new version, 2 applications called gMFSK and
XLog do not work now. They both require excess to /dev/ttyS0 and
/dev/dsp and udev is not giving these to it when the user is non-root.
I have verified that both appear to work if started by root. But
they do not work if started by user 0500, me.
If I am to remain on fedora core 5 these applications must work. I
have the old Fedora core 2 still on the computer and it runs just fine
there.

xorg.conf syntax checker
by awrobinson-ml＠nc.rr.com
Anyone know of a tool or utility that would check the syntax of of an
xorg.conf file. Checking the syntax by putting it into live use is
getting tedious ;).
Thanks!

Re: Burning FC5 Image on DVD
by Usman S. Ansari
Well, I burned DVD using
growisofs -speed=1 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdwriter=FC-5-i386-DVD.iso command.
Verify DVD on Dell laptop and install FC5 on it.
Last night, I try to install FC5 on the same machine where
DVD was burned.
After I selected not to verify, FC 5 install hangs with a
read error, as I can see on Alt-F4.
Next time I try to verify DVD on my desktop machine and it fails right away.
How can I burn DVD so that I can read on same DVD drive ?
> Thanks guys. Greate, so many response. Got my first DVD
> burned and FC5 installed on my laptop.
