How to disable DRI
by Adam Huffman
Is there a way of disabling DRI when there's no 'Load "DRI"' statement
to remove, as is the case in the new concise xorg.conf files?
I've reported a bug with DRI and the radeon driver and am rather tired
of using the VESA driver...

Try unsetting SESSION_MANAGER before starting VNC. The same thing can
happen when using Xnest.

Yep.
But it was not mentioned in FC5's ReleaseNotes. Better later, than never...
Many people using Fedora in production systems upgrade to FC5 just now
(i.e., to skip "half-year of instability"). It can be a reason why this
issue was not reported on pre-FC5 time.
Surely it cannot be "back-ported" to FC5's ReleaseNotes :), but it is
still possible at least for FC6 .

multiple gnome sessions from same user
by Sam Folk-Williams
Hi,
I'm noticing that if I have a gnome session on my desktop and try to
start vnc (which also uses gnome) as my same username, I get this error:
gnome-session: you're already running a session manager
iirc, in the past I would be able to open a second session as the same
user. Is there a reason/explanation behind not allowing multiple
sessions? Or have i configured something wrong?
thanks,
Sam

Yum upgrade?
by Bojan Smojver
After I didn't have much luck with an upgrade of an FC5 box to FC6T3
(see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206913), just
for kicks, I tried "yum upgrade" to a development tree. That failed with
a whole bunch of dependency problems, including things like e2fs*.
Similar situation existed between FC4 and FC5, also on x86_64.
Is "yum upgrade" something that's supposed to work between FC(n) and
FC(n+1) or not?

java 1.5 in fedora?
by Patrice Dumas
Hello,
Is there a support for java 1.5 in fedora? I follow a project which uses
the java 1.5 interface with the use of generics that weren't used in java 1.4
(in TreeMap, for example). Is it possible in fedora?
