Re: Re: how to obtain single-line scroll with wheel mouse? (FC5)

Thanks Tony, Chris, and Matthew:
It appears that there is no way to adjust the mouse
scroll rate in Gnome or X11. If any developers are
reading this, it would be wonderful if one day a user
could, with one setting, control the number of lines
that a wheel mouse scrolls by per notch. As for me, I
find the default setting rather irritating because it
moves by too many lines per notch and I have a hard
time adjusting my eyes to the new line location after
a single scroll. It is enough of a problem that I
question whether I can work efficiently using Linux.
To answer your question, Chris, my xorg.conf file
contains this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"

Getting Realtek PCIE Gigabit and Fast Ethernet NIC Driver
by Robert L Cochran
Hi,
I just built a new computer based on the Asrock 939SLI32-eSATA2 motherboard
which has a Realtek PCIE Gigabit and Fast Ethernet integrated network
adapter. I then upgraded my Fedora Core 4 drive to Fedora Core 5 using the
original Fedora Core 5 DVD. The system booted and decided my ethernet
controller needs the tulip driver. Running lspci -vb lists the controller as
"Unknown device 8168 (rev 01). It is very interesting to see it is listing a
serial number as one of the capabilities.
Is there a driver that works with this NIC and if so how do I install it?
Thanks for your help,
Bob Cochran

Curious yum problem
by Timothy Murphy
I just installed FC-5 on a new disk,
and when I tried "yum update" it failed because, it reported,
kdebase required htdig .
On the other hand, I can update kdebase on other FC-5 systems
which I have kept up-to-date.
It doesn't particularly matter - I as able to update nearly everything
by "yum update [a-j]\*", etc,
but I am puzzled why this problem arises,
and interested to know if there is a simple way
of determining exactly what is looking for what?
(It seemed that other packages were looking for htdig.)

Audit messages
by Walter Souto
Hi,
Since I was upgrade to the latest kernel (2.6.17-1.2174_FC5xen0) on my
FC5 box, I got messages from audit on console every time Xen network
interfaces are created. It's not a real problem, but where this
messages came from? I have no audit installed/enabled and SELinux is
disabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux.

How to manage modules loaded on boot
by Walter Souto
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how modules get loaded on boot by the system,
but got no clues. I just don't want to load sound modules (and some
others) cause I don't need it for now.
Where do I look? There's some docs about the process of load modules
at boot that can help me?
TIA,

something I don't understand
by François Patte
Bonjour,
As I run short of place on my /home partition, I decided to format a new
partition on my HD (some place were left) and call it home2 after
creating it with fdisk. I run
mke2fs -j -L home2 /dev/hdax
then added this line in fstab:
LABEL=/home2 /home2 ext3 defaults 1 2
Then I rebooted the machine.... and, as there was a mistake in the
fstab, I was dropped to a repair-partition prompt because fsck.ext3
didn't know what to do with LABEL "/home2"....
I thought that there were no problem: I just type the root password and
tried to comment the bad line in the fstab... Impossible: "the file is
write protected" was the only answer I got from vi...
I was root, the fstab file has write permission for root, but it was
impossible to modify this file....
WHY?
Thank you.
PS. I recovered with reformating the partition with the right syntax.

I know, I know but no can do. Our software is FC3 on for the moment

Kernel panic after FC2->FC5
by Jack Howarth
Today we tried updating an i386 Fedora Core 2
workstation to Fedora Core 5. The upgrade install
completed without complaint until we rebooted the
machine. At that point I got a kernel panic with
the message...
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init.
...after the line stating that the kernel is being
uncompressed and booted. What is the best approach
to debugging this and is there specific set of
causes for this problem?
