Mouse Wheel gone
by Christian Menzel
Since the latest xorg-X11 upgrade I receive the already mentioned XKB
error and the mouse wheel is not working anymore.
Has anybody seen this behavior?

I have the same symptoms...
rpcinfo says that nfs et.al. are running.
Something has changed in test 2, since the same PC running RH9
accesses that host just fine.

autoconf breakage on x86_64.
by Sam Varshavchik
I don't know the right way to fix this, but something is definitely broken;
and something needs to be fixed, one way or the other. The question is what
exactly needs to be fixed.
Consider something like this:
LIBS="-lresolv $LIBS"
AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC(res_query, AC_MSG_RESULT(yes), AC_MSG_RESULT(no))
Here's what happens on x86_64:
gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./.. conftest.c -lresolv >&5
/tmp/ccW7EeDX.o(.text+0x7): In function `main':
/home/mrsam/src/courier/authlib/configure:5160: undefined reference to
`res_query'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:5147: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
[ blah blah blah ]
| /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
| builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
| char res_query ();
| int
| main ()
| {
| res_query ();
| ;
| return 0;
| }
The same exact test on FC1 x86 will work.
The reason appears to be that you have to #include <resolv.conf> on x86_64
in order to succesfully pull res_query() out of libresolv.so. You don't
need to do this on x86, and the test program generated by AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC
does not include any headers, but uses a manual prototype.
So, what now?

FC3T2 EggCups Crashing
by Will H. Backman
After updating today, I keep getting a popup that egg-cups has crashed
(Restart?)
It seems to be when I stick a CD in with a windows autorun. I'll have to
dig more. Anyone else seeing this?

SELinux error with -584 kernel
by Michel Salim
Hi,
I get audit errors when booting up (and similar messages when shutting
down) with the -1.584 kernel:
audit(1095879279.586:0): avc: denied { read write } for pid=1701
exe=/sbin/minilogd name=console dev=tmpfs ino=993
scontext=user_u:system_r:syslogd_t tcontext=user_u:object_r:tmpfs_t
tclass=chr_file
(and lots of other messages like this one)
This does not happen under the -1.541 kernel that shipped with the
install media; is this normal, should I file a bug, and against the
kernel, selinux-policy-targetd, or mkinitrd?
Thanks,

some questions regarding FC3t2 release notes
by Robert P. J. Day
(repost of what was sent to anaconda list since it mostly involved
installation.)
reading the FC3t2 release notes, some curiosities:
1) "The disk space requirements listed below represent the disk space taken up
by Fedora Core 2.91 Test 2 after the installation is complete. However,
additional disk space is required during the installation to support the
installation environment. This additional disk space corresponds to the size of
/Fedora/base/stage2.img (on CD-ROM 1) plus the size of the files in
/var/lib/rpm on the installed system."
this suggests that the stage2.img file is copied to the hard drive during the
installation, so that makes sense. but i don't understand why the stuff under
/var/lib/rpm would be considered an "additional" space requirement above and
beyond the regular install. it's all still there after the installation is
complete.
can someone clarify why the contents of /var/lib/rpm would be considered an
"additional" space requirement?
2) i could have sworn that someone posted that SELinux was disabled by default
during the install, but during my install, it was definitely activated, and i
had to manually turn it off.
3) "Memory testing may be performed prior to installing Fedora Core by entering
memtest86 at the boot: prompt. This causes the Memtest86 standalone memory
testing software to run. Memtest86 memory testing continues until the Esc key
is pressed."
"NOTE: You must boot from CD-ROM 1 (or a rescue CD-ROM) in order to use this
feature."
um ... i'm pretty sure memtest is also part of boot.iso and diskboot.img, no?
the way the above is worded is a bit misleading.
4) regarding space required for installation:
"... Minimum for graphical: 192MB ..."
"... However, due to the necessity of containing the installer image in RAM,
only systems with more than 128MB of RAM (or systems booted from CD-ROM 1,
which contains the installer image) can use the graphical installer."
and the correct minimum value would be ... ?
more later as i keep reading.

ALSA drivers - Intel HD Audio
by Mister Ribbit
I have the new Intel HD Audio on board my Intel D915GEV motherboard,
and I'm trying to get it working. I think I can do it if I compile
the driver that Intel supplies on their web page, but they say that
the driver has been handed off to the ALSA project, and I've found it
in the alsa-driver 1.0.6 package (but not 1.0.5). I was wondering if
FC3 would ship with an updated kernel to have the 1.0.6 driver (or the
new 1.0.6a) so that it would be working straight out of the box in the
future. Or, maybe you are on that set of drivers, and somehow have
lost the azx driver for this hardware.
Thanks!
Ciao!

Didn't get answer
by Andrius
Hello,
I didn't get answer to my question. Is it problem unclear or unknown? In installation process of Fedora Core 3 test 2 for AMD64 I got such bug message "Bug: Assertion (heads > 0) at disk_dos.c:471 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed." (after keyboard configuration). If I press cancel I can go through other steps, but when I got the same message when it is time to copy packages to disk and installation stops.
