F10 + nxclient or 2xterminalserverclient + keyboard mapping
by Joachim Backes 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hi, With using nxclient or 2xtermainalserverclient in F10, I have problems after logging in to some server (running F9/RHEL5/CENTOS): The keyboard key ALT+GR (on e german keyboard, no-dead-keys) is wrongly mapped so I can't reasonably work on that server site. I use the most recent versions of nxclient and/or 2xterminalserverclient. I had no problems with nx in F9 on the client site. Does anybody have an advice? Thanks in advance. Regards -- Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de>

Some keys have weird key numbers the Alt-Gr is one of those. Can someone give a hint to which package a bug-report should be filed?

X fails on Nvidia 177.82 driver + T61 (Quadro NVS 140M) on Fedora 10
by kewlemer 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hi all, I'm trying to connect a Thinkpad T61 with Quadro NVS 140M to an external monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 225BW with 1680x1050 resolution) through a docking station. The problem is that when I boot the laptop through the docking station, X simply fails to start. I looked at Xorg.0.log and the only thing that looks awry is the following lines- "The EDID for IBM (DFP-0) contradicts itself:........" I'm running the latest driver and kernel- ================ X.Org X Server 1.5.3 Release Date: 5 November 2008 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 x86_64 Current Operating System: Linux t61-lin64 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 18 11:58:53 EST 2008 x86_64 Build Date: 16 November 2008 08:28:40PM Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.5.3-5.fc10 Nvidia driver = 177.82 ================ Here is my Xorg.0.log - http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddjtzn4_10dj2ndpct I googled around and found that one other person also running 64bit kernel had a similar issue- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/258357 The suggested workaround is to downgrade the driver to 173.x. However my big concern is that because I'm running Fedora 10 with the latest X, downgrading may be hard because of the dependencies. Can someone please tell if if there is a good way to downgrade keeping in mind the dependencies? Many thanks, KM

Disable sound for KVM guest
by Gordon Messmer 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

I've noticed that when I create a new virtual machine under F10, it takes control of the dsp device when it's running. I've tried commenting out the <sound> element in its XML configuration file, but that hasn't helped. Is there a way to disable sound support for KVM guests?

Fedora 10 install issues
by Kevin Kempter 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hi All; (sorry - I originally posted this in the wrong list by mistake) I'm trying to instal Fedora10 on my new laptop but I've run into a few issues. It's a Dell Precision M6400 - I'm running KDE I have 2 issues: 1) I cannot get the full screen resolution I can go to administration --> display and under the 'Hardwae' tab I can configure the display as a generic or as a Dell 1920x1200 but no matter what I choose the 'Settings' tab only lets me choose a max of 1400x1050 2) system notification sound works, and rhythmbox sound works but no other sound / players work such as amaok or Kaffiene Thanks in advance for any help ...

Fedora Hangs on Laptop
by Dave Cross 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

I'm running Fedora 9 on a Dell XPS M1330 laptop. I'm using one of the earliest F9 kernel (2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.PAE) because I've been unable to get a wireless connection with any later kernel that I've tried. But I'm having huge problems with this kernel too. At random times the machine just freezes completely. The capslock and num-lock buttons flash on and off but the only way out of it seems to be to turn the system off and restart. Sometimes it can be an hour or so before the problems occurs, but more often it's a few minutes. This obviously makes the system pretty much unusable. I can use the system for as long as Iike when I boot it into Vista. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Or do you have any suggestions on how I can help to investigate the problem? Thanks, Dave...

f10: what happened to XFCE?
by Robert P. J. Day 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

i'm sure this is explained somewhere but i finally got a copy of F10 for i386 and the first thing i noticed is that the desktop choices are back to just GNOME and KDE -- XFCE, which i'm sure was there in F10 preview, is gone. or am i imagining things? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Problem with xorg-x11-drv-i810 on Fedora 10
by Jason Dickerson 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

I have a Thinkpad X30 with the Intel i830M video chipset. I cannot boot a live cd or use the graphical anaconda install. Whenever X attempts to start I get video corruption for the background and a box drawn but not filled in, whether it is a login box or an installation box. In order to upgrade from Fedora 9 to 10, I did a text based upgrade from the DVD. Then I booted to runlevel 3, manually started networking, and ran 'yum -y update'. At this point it was running all the latest Fedora 10 release packages, but would still not go into X properly. Same problem. The error message in Xorg.0.log is this, repeated over and over: [mi] mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping. [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. I then downloaded the latest version of xorg-x11-drivers and xorg-x11-drv-i810 for Fedora 9. I uninstalled the Fedora 10 versions, and installed the Fedora 9 versions. This seems to have fixed my issue, for the most part. The only problem now, is corrupt text in X after a while. Other things I tried and did not work: look for a video memory setting in bios and set to the highest value. there is no such setting on the thinkpad x30 set video driver to vesa. vesa driver could not properly initialize screen it looked like a tie died t-shirt went to koji's website and downloaded every version of Fedora 10 xorg-x11-drv-i810. all have same problem, or could not allocate frame buffer. I will be happy to post any necessary supporting/debugging information. It seems to me I just have to wait for a corrected intel driver. lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82830 830 Chipset Host Bridge (rev 04) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 04) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM USB Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM USB Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM USB Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev 42) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801CAM ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801CAM IDE U100 Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM SMBus Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 02) 01:00.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev a8) 01:00.1 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev a8) 01:00.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C552 IEEE 1394 Controller 01:02.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01) 01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Controller (rev 42) 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) xorg.conf Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "LCD Panel" VendorName "IBM" ModelName "X30 1024x768" Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "External Panel" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Generic Monitor" Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Intel i830M" Driver "intel" VendorName "Intel" BoardName "Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" Option "monitor-LVDS" "LCD Panel" Option "monitor-VGA" "External Panel" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Intel i830M" Monitor "LCD Panel" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Virtual 1024 768 EndSubSection EndSection Section "DRI" Group 0 Mode 0666 EndSection If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it!

some feedback on fedora 10
by Russell Miller 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

OK, I just upgrated to fedora 10. I've already filed some bug reports, but here's some feedback. 1) FC9 preupgrade didn't work. It left the /var off of the cache location. I had to fix it manually and reboot. 2) nv driver is broken with my card. Bug filed on that, so I won't go into too much further detail, except to say it doesn't detect ANY video ram. 3) One thing I would really, really like - and I'm half tempted to just write it myself - is a tool to take the stock fedora kernel and build a new one - with the options that *I* want. Building a new kernel is a pain in the kiester, and the lack of a good tool to do so (I'm not aware of one and a quick search on freshmeat doesn't turn one up) is kind of... surprising, considering that the kernel has been around for so many years. Is it that much of a black art? 4) KMS seems cool, but it doesn't work on my card, so it falls back to a lame progress bar on the bottom of the screen. Can we be a little more informative than that? It didn't even tell me I could press escape, I had to figure that out on my own. Other than that fact that I can't get X to working properly either with the proprietary or free drivers, seems pretty cool. However, *that* is a showstopper. --Russell
