Hi, When I remove the ipw2200-firmware,install it again, and verify ipw2200-firmware, it show me: #rpm -e ipw2200-firmware-3.0-9 #yum -y install ipw2200-firmware #rpm -V ipw2200-firmware-3.0-9 (no message) But when I reinstalled the ipw2200 module, it showed me: #rmmod ipw2200 #modprobe ipw2200 #tail -f /var/log/messages .....

Re: Dual head t42 with Fedora 7, tricks?
by gene horodecki 27 Apr '08

Yeah, I actually came from Fedora 8 and dual head wouldn't work at all. Since then I've loaded up Fedora 7 and Fedora 9 preview... In Fedora 7, the DH works out of the box but yeah we've already talked about that.. The Fedora 9 Dual head dialog didn't work at all... There was no card to select in the '2nd video card' field for me and so I am a tad concerned about that... I hope it gets fixed for the release. On Sun, 2008-04-27 at 19:17 +0200, D. H.

Dual head t42 with Fedora 7, tricks?
by gene horodecki 27 Apr '08

27 Apr '08

Hi there.. I was able to get dual-head working on my t42 (Radeon Mobility 7500) working out of the box to a certain extent but still not to my satisfaction. Is there a trick to getting a different resolution on each of the monitors? I have a 1024x768 LCD screen and a 1600x1200 VGA monitor and I had hoped to use each to the fullest extent. So far it hasn't worked with either extended desktop (which I prefer) or with the two desktop config. Please help? Thanks.

t42 thinkpad dual head! (help please?)
by gene horodecki 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

I've tried every xorg.conf I could find on the internet for dual-heading a Radeon Mobility 7500 and nothing works for me. Mostly I get X11 dying with 'No Screens Found' but sometimes it dies with an error code. In the meantime, I've managed to kill my frame rate even on my fallback config and my floppy windows are now choppy windows. Can anyone assist me with dual-heading a Thinkpad T42 laptop? I'd much appreciate it.

I do have such Wireless adapter ( ipw2200 ) on a hp nc8000 running the same kernel and it doesn't generate any conflict messages like yours. Could you please also check the release for the ipw2200-firmware RPM package ( rpm - q ipw2200-firmware ) ? Thanks for your feedback. Philippe

Ipw2200 problem in Fedora 8

f9 on the Asus EEE PC (resume and additional keys)
by Sven Lankes 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

Hi, I have installed Fedora 9 rc on an Asus EEE 701. This has been quite successful. A lot of things work out of the box or with minimal tweaking. There are two things that don't work for me and where I am out of knowledge and/or google juice to fix them. Maybe someone has an idea or a pointer for me there. The first issue I have is the resume: The machine suspends fine but doesn't resume successfully. The screen stays black on resume. It seems that it is still doing something as pushing the power button after a failed resume suspends the machine again (suspends as in the power led starts blinking again). There is an entry in the fdi suspend-quirks database for the 701 which activates the quirks for s3_bios and dpms_on and the eee seems to suspend fine for others running other distributions or even f8 (eeedora). I have tried some other quirks and also pm-suspend without any quirks but the result is always the same. The second issue is how to map some of the additional keys to do anything useful. The asus patch for the eee is included in the fedora kernel rpm so there seems to be no need for a patched acpi_asus.ko. Screen-brightness control works (fn + f3/f4) and suspend (fn + f1) work and according to the wiki page at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EeePc the others should do at least something too (no idea what 'needs gconf tweaks' refers to). Pushing e.g. the mute-button does not generate any dmesg output and nothing in xev either. Any hints are appreciated. -- sven === jabber/xmpp: sven(a)lankes.net

Sound and on-screen display
by Dougal Ballantyne 13 Apr '08

13 Apr '08

Hi, I am running Fedora 8 x86_64 on a HP Compaq 6710b. I am having issues with sound. 1. When I mute the sound, it only stays muted for about a minute and then unmutes itself. 2. When adjusting the sound up/down or muting, there is no visual display on the screen. (Used to run Ubuntu and it worked there.) Has anybody seen this before? Kind regards, Dougal

Is this ok, for an idle system (by powertop): P-states (frequencies) 1.60 Ghz 0.0% 800 Mhz 100.0% Wakeups-from-idle per second : 561.9 interval: 10.0s no ACPI power usage estimate available Top causes for wakeups: 82.6% (925.0) <interrupt> : extra timer interrupt 8.0% ( 90.0) mplayer : do_nanosleep (hrtimer_wakeup) 4.2% ( 46.9) <interrupt> : ohci_hcd:usb2, HDA Intel 1.8% ( 20.6) X : do_setitimer (it_real_fn) 1.5% ( 17.0) X : schedule_timeout (process_timeout) 1.2% ( 13.6) kicker : schedule_timeout (process_timeout) Double core Turion 64 (Dell inspiron 1501) on F8 Seems as my second core does not function? In dmesg I see a lot of: APIC error on CPU0: 40(40) APIC error on CPU1: 40(40) and the 8254_timer not connected at the kernel booting. IS there a way to fix it? PS My googling helped me nothing...
