HP Pavilion dv8235nr

Brand new HP notebook! FC3 won't bring up X at all. FC4 detects an ATI Radeon and tries to start X but fails miserably, locking the system. FC5 detects an nVidia GeForce - unknown vendor id () and successfully starts X, in what looks like 800x500 mode. WTF??? Any ideas??? :b! Brian D.

Had this been an actual emergency, you would have been told to cancel this test and seek professional assistance!

Core5 fonts.
by Keith Powell 03 May '06

03 May '06

Another Fedora newbie question! I am liking Fedora Core 5 more and more, and would like it to be my new sole distro. However, I am finding that the fonts look poor when compared with the other distros I have tried. They are thick and the edges are "fuzzy" on my 1024x768 15" TFT monitor. I have tried both KDE and Gnome. I have tried various fonts. I have tried the usual experimenting with anti-aliasing and sub-pixel-hinting. Nothing will improve them! Any ideas, please? Many thanks. Keith

Errata DVD as repo?
by Paul Trevethan 03 May '06

03 May '06

Hi, I have obtained an Errata dvd for Fedora 5 and I want to add it as an update repository. I have tried creating the .repo file but I continually seem to be getting the syntax wrong when trying to use a local file structure as the baseurl. Can someone give me some guidance in this matter please? I want to get this working so that I can put Fedora on my sister's machine - but she has a totally restrictive monthly download allowance from her ISP account. So. I want to do the install with my Fedora Install dvd followed by an update with the errata dvd. Hopefully then I can set up the normal online repos and her ongoing updates will not be out of reach. Paul.

How to obtain Fedora Core Kernel Sources?
by alexander.beck-ratzka 03 May '06

03 May '06

Hello list, I am running Fedora Core 4 with the Kernel 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 on IBM Thinkpad T41P. To enable the usage of an internal modem, I need to compile and install the slmodem as a kernel modul. The installation fails, because I have no kernel sources in /usr/src/linux. My question is quite simple (as I hope): How can I obtain the sources? I would like to use yum to get them, but I don't know the package name. If I use yum, is it satisfied that I get the right sources for my kernel? I am using the kernel 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4. Cheers Alexander
