NVIDIA Question
by David St.Clair
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,

Mouse goes crazy
by Jonathan Villa
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.

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.

Re: Realtek RTL8111B fc6 problems
by Gianluca Cecchi
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.

I'm not inside a lan so I can only test through the dsl modem.
This kind of connectivity seems quite good at the moment.
Eventually I can connect a laptop through cross cable and give other
kind of results obtained.
Tell me if you like.
Francois, I'm going to send e-mail to the netdev address you gave.

fc6 install fails: No handler for logger yum.YumBase
by sean darcy
I'm trying to upgrade fc5 - fc6. Got fc6 dvd iso over
bittorrent. sha1sum matches. media check is OK.
I get to " Checking dependencies in packages selected for
installation"
and the blue bar shows 0%
Then "No handler could be found for logger "yum.YumBase" "
Couldn't find anything in bugzilla. There some magic needed
here?
