fixed 2.6.19 kernel package?
by Jack Howarth 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Does anyone know when a new FC6 kernel package will be released to fix all of the problems that the current 2.6.19 based package has? Are they just waiting for 2.6.20 to be released first? I ask because I need to install a new machine next week and it would be nice if a current stable kernel package was available based on 2.6.19 or 2.6.20-rc's. Thanks in advance for any information.

Re: system hangs with all-generic-ide & irqpoll

AFAIK, the problem with the Intel DG965 motherboards & the 965 Express chipset has been there since the systems were released - using irqpoll & all-generic-ide was the only way to install Fedora on them. The ide components could only be accessed that way. Users who had a pure SATA system were OK (although the sound system was only recently supported by the 1.0.13 release of alsa). The problem is independent of the type of hardware attached to the ide port - with the 'standard' kernel options, ide components are not seen. I was hoping that the latest release of the kernel (2.6.19-1.2985) would detect the ide components without using the "all-generic-ide" & "irqpoll" options, but alas, no - is this something for bugzilla? I'd be interested to hear from users who have this motherboard whether they have the same problems or have found other workarounds. Since Windows detects and operates everything perfectly, I doubt that it is a problem with the motherboard or components, but rather reflects the reality that there are relatively few kernel programmers available to support a wide range of equipment. > Drop a note to Arjan van de Ven <arjan(a)linux.intel.com>, he may be > interested if its an Intel produced board and failing, as he is keeper of > the Linux test kit for BIOS folks and the like. > Shall do __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Tool for downloading video/audio files from YouTube

> Is there some tool for downloading video/audio files from YouTube? If you want to try something different, give Democracy a try. http://www.getdemocracy.com/ I packaged it and it is available here (the rpm from the official site was broke last time I tried it). http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/rpms/Democracy-0.9.2.2-3.fc6.lcg.i386… There is also a version available for FC5, but it needs mozilla to run. I was not able to make it work with Seamonkey yet. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ

OT: dual-core or 64 bit?
by Mick M. 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hi list; this is off topic. I was wondering which is better a dual-core x86 cpu or an x64 cpu? Which is actually faster/better in "normal" use? How about installation problems and hardware cost? I am not planning any upgrades just yet but am curios. Mick M.

Glest graphics ??
by Bill Case 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hi; I am not a gamer normally but I thought I would download 'Glest' and try it. I have a graphics problem using it. I tried to get an answer on the Glest mailing list a month ago but got no response. When I open Glest I get all the opening screens and setup windows and graphics correctly but when it is ready to play all that I see on the screen is a little half inch square of red square dots that looks like something trying to be a full scale map. There is a very small animation in the centre of the red square trying to be the main character -- I suspect. I believe I have enough power to run this game. I have 640 Mb ram; a Radeon 9600 pro video card; and, FC6 on a P4 1.3. I am asking because I have some lingering doubts X windows has set my new(er) video card (the 9600) completely correctly although the display configuration and the Xlog seems right. Any diagnostic suggestions gratefully accepted. -- Regards Bill
