NVIDIA Question
by David St.Clair 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

This may be a dumb question, but why can't Redhat distribute NVIDIA binary drivers? In NVIDIA's licence (http://www.nvidia.com/object/nv_swlicense.html) it says: "2.1.2 Linux Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux operating system may be copied and redistributed, provided that the binary files thereof are not modified in any way (except for unzipping of compressed files)." So, what's keeping RedHat from putting the drivers in the distribution? If it's a GPL thing, would it be easy to just download it during installation or at least give the option to the user? Thanks, -- David St.Clair dstclair(a)cs.wcu.edu

Mouse goes crazy
by Jonathan Villa 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Ok, I have had Yarrow working well for a while now, but yesterday I started experiencing some odd issues with my mouse. All of a sudden it stops working correctly. The only thing that seems to fix is to kill X and run mouse-test, then restart. Any ideas? Also, I have FC 1 running on a desktop which is hooked up to a KVM switch. Whenever I go to another PC, and return, the same thing happens, the mouse goes crazy. ???

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.

Boris, you are great! Finally it works! And it seems quite good. Ok, I did this. - downloaded kernel-2.6.18-1.2747.fc6.src.rpm - install the src.rpm - changed spec file putting 1 only in %define buildsmp 1 and %define includexen 1 - done an rpmbuild -bp - applied the further patch you outlined r8169.c - gone into /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.i386/ - make - make modules_install - copy under /boot of the vmlinuz file generated - mkinitrd for the new kernel - reboot Network seems to work. lspci gives 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

There some magic needed here? sean
