I had given up on the Nvidia folks some time ago. None of their mods seemed to work for me and their lack of support was deafening.
The original kernel from the install works great (2.6.32.9-67.fc12.i686), I presume with the nouveau driver. My thoughts are that something was changed.
Once boot has completed, the card AND driver appear to be functioning properly.

Firewall activity log -
by Bob Goodwin
Through F-11 I ran Firestarter, it is not available for F-12 apparently.
The attractive thing with firestarter was the log it produced. When
I had a problem with an application I could look at the log and see
what the firewall was blocking. How can I do that with the firewall
provided with F-12. I have an application that doesn't work properly
with the firewall enabled but is good with it disabled. Obviously I
would like to know why.
Any help appreciated.

Grandtec Key-3000
by Jameson
Has anyone ever used a Grandtec Key-3000? I'm trying to get one set
up, but have had no luck, and can't find any information out there.
It's a wireless keyboard and trackball. I thought it would be seen as
just a USB keyboard and mouse, but so far, it doesn't do anything.
Any ideas?
Forgive me if this message is formated incorrectly. I'm sending it
from my phone.
Thanks,

Home directory files invisible!
by John Hartgraves
I've had a strange problem occurring lately - after a reboot my home
folder's contents aren't shown in nautilus or thunar, and ls -a hangs when
ran as a user. ls -a runs correctly and shows all the files when ran as
root. I have checked the folder and file permissions for the folder and they
are all normal - Create and Delete access for my user. Sometimes a reboot
will fix the issue. Very irritating bug.
Running F13 Beta.
Thanks.

Evolution 2.30.0.1 in F13: Message Reply + No Edit = No Discard Confirmation
by Brian A. Seklecki
All:
God bless whomever fixed the bug where an un-edited message reply
would prompt you to save/discard work.
It was introduced sometime during F11. Not sure what Evolution version.
Either GPG/SMIME signing was automatically setting $is_edited=1,
or it was simply defaulting to a prompt. I cant remember if I tested
it without GPG.
Really, it should be a user-adjustable setting, but this is an
election year, so I'm being realistic.
User setting: Prompt to discard message: [Yes, No, If unsaved changes]
Also, thanks to the Redhat guys that fixed RH Bugzilla Bug 510249.
Hopefully Seahorse-plugins/Seahorse-Agent will be the defualt
$GPG_AGENT_INFO at F13 release time.
F13 is looking really sick!
Again, thank you BIG TIME!

F-12 audio config lost at reboot -
by Bob Goodwin
What do I have to do to keep my audio configuration through shut
down and reboot? Everyday I have to un-mute microphone, set +20
db switch, adjust levels, etc. I know to do it routinely but
there must be a better way? Apparently I don't have the right
key words for Google, I found nothing relevant there.
Thanks.

[OT] Help with Perl Script
by Dan Track
Hi,
I appreciate that this is off-topic and wholly understand if I don't
get an answer, although one would really appreciate it if I do get an
answer :)
Basically to improve my perl scripting, I've given myself a challenge
where I would like to order the users in the passwd file by uid, I
could do this in another language but I'm focused on improving my perl
scripting. The script I've written so far is below, I've managed to
figure out hashes and have read in the file and created a hash of
hashes. It's after this that I'm stuck, I'm struggling to order the
hash of hashes by uid and then print the ordered list out? Can someone
please help me to finish this off? I'm trying to avoid using perl
modules as I want to improve my scripting ability.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my ( $login, $p, $uid, $gid, $gecos, $dir, $s );
my $k;
my $v;
my $key;
my $ip;
my $value;
my @sorted=();
my @uid=();
my %HoH = ();
my $file='/etc/passwd';
open( PASSWD, "< $file" ) or die "Can't open $file : $!";
while( <PASSWD> ) {
( $login, $p, $uid, $gid, $gecos, $dir, $s ) = split( ':' );
$HoH{ $login }{ 'login' } = $login;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'p' } = $p;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'uid' } = $uid;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'gid' } = $gid;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'gecos' } = $gecos;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'dir' } = $dir;
$HoH{ $login }{ 's' } = $s;
#print "$login\n";
}
close PASSWD;
#while (($k,$v) = each %HoH) {
# print "While Loop: $k\n";
#}
#foreach $ip (keys %HoH) {
# print "First For: $ip\n";
# while (($key, $value) = each %{ $HoH{$ip} } ) {
# print "$key = $value \n";
# }
# print "\n";
#}
#while ( ($k, $v) = each %HoH ) {
# print "$k: \n";
# while ( ($key, $value) = each %$v ) {
# print "$key=$value ";
# }
# print "\n";
#}
#for $k ( sort keys %HoH ) {
# print "$k: ";
# for $v ( sort keys %{ $HoH{$k} } ) {
# print "$v=$HoH{$k}{$v} ";
# }
# print "\n";
#}
#@sorted = sort { $HoH{$a} cmp $HoH{$b} } keys %HoH;
#print "@sorted\n";
#foreach my $sorted ( sort { $HoH{$a}->{"uid"} cmp $HoH{$b}->{"uid"} }
keys %HoH)
foreach my $sorted ( sort { $HoH->{$a}{uid} cmp $HoH->{$b}{uid} } keys %HoH)
{
print STDOUT "$HoH{$sorted}\n"
}
Thank in advance for any help.
