Fedora 13 & screen resolution
by Gregory Hosler 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Hi All, I just installed Fedora 13 on my home system. Previously I had Fedora 11 running there (and 13 on my laptop for quite some time now). My H/W configuration: Shuttle, with Intel i915 chipset Monitor: Dell P1110 Both F-11 and F-13 detect and use the intel x11 driver, and monitor. I use the same xorg.conf on both systems (in /etc/X11/xorg.conf) F-11 will give me 1600x1200 resolution, F-13 will only give me 1024x768 I've checked the Xorg.0.log -- it almost looks like F-13 is NOT looking at my xorg.conf file (where I specify the resolutions in my Screen section). When it comes to the mode lines, it is not seeing anything above 1024x768 I'm at a loss as to what to look for, or how to fix this. I should mention ... If I I take the modeline info from the F-11 Xorg.0.log, generated the equivalent Modelines, put them into my xorg.conf, and X will quite happily display at 1600x1200. But system-config-display will not let me select above 1024x768, and also X will not rotate between the various modes (control-shift-+) even though all the modelines are in my new xorg.conf. Any thoughts / suggestions / urls ? Many thanks in advance, and all the best, -Greg Hosler -- +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ Please also check the log file at "/dev/null" for additional information.

Easier Dual Boot Install For Fedora 14?
by Jesse Palser 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Hi, Can the dev team make it easier to install Fedora 14 when Windows is already installed on the same hard drive? To be honest I use Ubuntu 10.04 and it does this automatically when installing(it shrinks Windows partition during install) I installed F13 on a hard drive with Windows XP on it already and was disappointed that F13 had no option to shrink the Windows partition during F13 install. I installed F13 on my test computer for software testing. Thanks... Jesse

/dev/shm size?
by Tom Horsley 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

So, I just noticed that /dev/shm is 4 gig on my system with 8 gig of main memory. Does fedora always just automatically take half the memory for /dev/shm (I've never seen it say more than 1% was in use, so I'm not sure why it thinks it needs half). Does tempfs really grab all that memory up front? Or is that just some max it can grow to if it wants? Just curious if it affects the memory available for my virtual machines...

Howto setup OS2 using KVM in Fedora 13?
by KC8LDO 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Anybody have a good set of detailed instructions on how to go about installing OS2 Warp 4 using KVM in Fedora 13? The iso file of the install CD is non-bootable. I've seen some instructions for Qemu, which I assume could work for KVM, but the procedure looks messy. I'm looking for something easy or a good way to convert the iso into a bootable install iso. Regards; Leland C. Scott KC8LDO

Dual boot Fedora 13 and Windows XP ???
by Jesse Palser 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

Dual boot Fedora 13 and Windows XP ??? Hi, I formatted a 250GB HDD with NTFS and install Windows XP. I want to now install onto same HDD Fedora 13 and dual boot. I burned the Fedora 13 ISO to a CD and checked the MD5sum. I put into computer's CD drive and boot it. It boots fine into a working desktop. I click install icon, but do not see an option to dual boot Fedora 13 and XP. On Ubuntu install, there is an option to shrink Windows partition to dual boot. I've Googled for hours but do not see a guide to dual boot F13 and XP. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks Jesse

F14 Alpha x86_64 ISO too large?
by Andre Costa 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

Hi, I just downloaded Fedora 14 Alpha ISO for x86_64 and it doesn't fit on a 80min (700MB) cd. Was this supposed to happen? (I was going to test it on a pendrive anyway, but maybe this is not what everyone will use...) Regards, Andre

Ndiswrapper does not start during boot/network. Requires manual starts?
by Dan Thurman 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

I have a Gateway laptop that has a topdog wireless chip, and have sucessfully got wireless to work. However, for some reason, the wireless device does not start during bootup, ntp fails to synchronize as a clue. However, once up, I can log in as a user, I have to open a gnome terminal and issue the following commands: # depmod -a # modprobe ndiswrapper What I'd like to ask, is this normally how ndiswrapper works? Is it possible to get ndiswrapper to start as it boots? I have saved wireless connection into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts but this does not seem to work because ndiswrapper is not activated first? Any advice?
