Temporarily Disabling AIGLX?
by Peter Gordon
Hello, all.
I've not as of yet been able to get Compiz and AIGLX eye-candy working (odd
since it was working nicely around the FC6T2 time frame). Because of this, AIGLX
doesn't seem very useful to me, and as I've been having some issues with a few
SDL/OpenGL apps, I'd like to disable it to test if it is AIGLX or something else
that is malfunctioning.
I looked through the radeon(4) and xorg.conf(5) man pages with Yelp and found
nothing useful. A google search returned an earlier post from the X.org mailing
list from Donnie Berkholz suggesting to add `Option "AIGLX" "off"` in the
ServerFlags section of the xorg.conf file. Unfortunately, that just results in
a hardlock when between when RHGB finishes and when GDM attempts to start up.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.

RFE: yum show which package needed what dependency
by Jason Dravet
Hello,
I am running rawhide. I was doing a yum update today and I noticed that yum
added 5 packages to resolve dependencies. It would be nice if yum told me
which package it was updating that needed what dependencies. Here is a list
of dependences that yum added:
Installing for dependencies:
binutils i386 2.17.50.0.3-6 development 2.9 M
gettext i386 0.14.6-2.fc6 development 1.4 M
gnome-mag i386 0.13.1-1.fc6 development 93 k
m4 i386 1.4.5-3 development 133 k
patch i386 2.5.4-29.2.2 development 64 k
I am requesting something like:
Installing for dependencies:
binutils i386 2.17.50.0.3-6 development 2.9 M
binutils needed to resolve dependencies on foo
gettext i386 0.14.6-2.fc6 development 1.4 M
gettext needed to resolve dependencies on bar
gnome-mag i386 0.13.1-1.fc6 development 93 k
gnome-mag needed to resolve dependencies on foo and bar
m4 i386 1.4.5-3 development 133 k
patch i386 2.5.4-29.2.2 development 64 k
If other people think this is of value I will open a RFE bug.
Thanks,
Jason

kernel-xen 2.6.18-1.2689.fc6 #1 SMP - No X.
by Naoki
Howdy,
kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2689.fc6 boots but X fails.
I get graphical boot ok, I get "Starting firstboot..". Then it flips
to what should be gnome starting up but I only see the cursor for
probably half a second then the screen goes blank and I can't break out
of X and need to cycle the box.
Anybody else see this?

Yes and no.
The time where it reacts is /way/ too short, so you have to try half a
dozen times to get it right here.
Besides, there are reasons for hangs before that point (can't mount /usr,
NFS hosed come to mind)

Right.

If some miscreant has physical access to the box and is able to boot it,
the game is over anyway.

FC6T3 failed to install on Mactel Mini Core Duo
by Konstantin Ryabitsev
Hi, folks:
I tried to install FC6T3 on a Mactel Mini Core Duo for a friend of
mine, and it failed, corrupting both Linux and Mac partitions. Was it
just a fluke on my end, or can someone replicate it (make sure you
back up first. :))?
I have pretty much opted for all defaults during the setup.
Cheers,
