Re: Fedora 6 on Acer Aspire 1694WLMi
by Martina Egger
Hi,
thank you all for your help. I downloaded the latest respin FC6 from the
Fedora Unity, and installed in text-mode. Installation worked well. But
after the restart, it is not possible to go into the system in graphic mode.
When I try to start X11, I get a black screen ...... Does anyone of you has
an idea, if I should change some settings in the xorg.conf, or if I could do
something else?
Thanks, Martina

Hi,
since one year I´ve got an Acer Laptop with the following configuration:
Acer Aspire 1694WLMi
Intel Pentium M processor 760 (2GHz, 533MHz, 2MB L2 cache)
15,4´´ WSXGA+ TFT LCD
ATI Mobility Radeon X700 PCI Express With 256MB VRAM
120GB HDD
Slot-loading DVD-Dual
2GB DDR2
802.11b/g wireless LAN
Till half a year ago I tried and tried to install Fedora 5. But no chance!
It didn´t work. Problems with the PCMCIA. Then I installed Suse10 with help
of an extern screen.
But now, I want to try to install Fedora 6. Does anyone of you know, if
there´s a chance, that it will work on my laptop?
Thanks for helping me! Martina

There is nothing so special according to this list and information on
the Internet, so it should work. But why don't you try to install it and
report any problems you encounter?

My laptop is an Aspire 3004WlMi, and it works perfectly, so I imagine a
lower
versioned member of the same line would also work fine.

IIRC the stock FC5 hanged at "starting udev" because of a problem in
the pcmcia subsystem, but that was promptly fixed. I can not remember
if the problem/patch was properly broadcasted though...

I think so. But I suggest you download and install the latest respin from
http://torrent.fedoraunity.org/
as it contains significative bug fixes WRT the official FC6 release
(and you will need to download less updates after the installation...)

Will Fedora core 6 work perfect on dell inspiron 6000( multimedia, wireless, and browsing)
by Rajkumar Murthy
Hi,
I am a fan of linux operating system. But for the past 6 months couldnt
work much cause of my job, which is completely on windows platform. But will
be a linux supporter forever. Now the reason I am sending you this email is
i read through about fedora core 6 and since my laptop has become old and is
not able to sustain the windows operating system (windows XP) anymore...for
reasons like it is slow . My main problem before with fedora was configuring
the wireless wifi on linux box..and i have a dell inspiron 6000 with a intel
wireless card BG2200..and wanted to know will it work if i have a wpa
wireless network at my home. If so i am ready to install fedora core 6 on my
laptop and have fun like i used to and will never have to think about
getting a new laptop.
Thanks,

realtek 8168 PCIE on Fedora6
by Ant_thok!
I don't know if the same question have been asked
before..
I am using fedora core 6 and I have difficulties on
using my network card
normally. I have installed the driver which I got from
the realtek website
but it doesn't work well. It fails on high load
network traffic (even just
downloading something). I'm sure that the problem is
on my Fedora since I
can assure you that the network is fine, and also the
the card (I'm using
windows on the same machine and the card works well).
Any suggestion?
Thx b4..

Some commands like cardctl do not exist?
by Hyewon Jun
Hi,
I have used Fedora 3 before, and used "cardctl info" and "service pcmcia
restart" to play with PCMCIA wireless cards.
However, when I installed Fedora Core 6 and typed those commands, the
error message showed up saying the commands do not exist. What could I
have done with the installation? Or, how can I fix it to use those
commands?
Thank you!
