Problem with video on Dell 5150 and Fedora 15
by Pat Swayne
I have been successfully using Fedora 13 and 14 on a Dell 5150 (with
Nvidia Go5200 video card) for some time. I recently tried to upgrade to
Fedora 15, and now video (after login) does not work. Fedora is the only
OS, so I don't get the GRUB screen. How can I change runlevel, and what
are some suggested changes to make.
If I can't get it working, how can I go back to Fedora 14?

kmod-nivdia
by Phillip Lynn
Yesterday I upgraded my laptop an ASUS N71Vseries. I am using
kernel-2.6.35.14-95.fc14.x86_64 which was to upgraded to
kernel-2.6.35.14-96.fc14.x86_64. With this upgrade kmod-nvidia was to
be removed. After the upgrade my system would boot to a graphics
screen. I was able to remove the new kernel and add back
kmod-nvidia-2.6.35.14-95.fc14.x86_64-280.13-2.fc14.x86_64. After doing
is I was finally able to bring my system all the way up.

Unfortunately, I didn't have luck with this trackpad. I follow the tips on
that site, but these not work.
I realize that my trackpad it's a ALPS trackpad, and that is the big
problem. In other distros, people have the same problem with this brand of
trackpad.
I'll keep searching for the solution, and if I found, I'll post here.
Thank you Ron, for your help

gnome 3 xchat menus
by William Henry
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a gnome 3 issue or something I did when I switched to F15/Gnome 3. I don't have any menu bar at the top of my XChat window. I can't go in a change any settings etc. Anyone seen this?
Best,
William

Thanks in advance.

wifi problems
by Leandro Hill
Hello everyone! I have problems with my wireless conection...when I want to watch a video online, download a torrent or download some files from internet, my conection goes down. I solve this turning of my wifi card and then ON, but the videos sometimes are not able to returt to the last poing and I have to watch them from the begining, for example.
I have no idea what happens, but torrents or some files download at a 600 kb/s, and my conection is 3 mb...is too much, I don't know what the problem is, but I wanna fix it, otherwise I will have to return to windows, and I don't want it..
Plase help me!
My wireless card: broadcom BCM 4311
GNU/Linux: Fedora 15 with gnome 3.
Thank you a lot!
