The upgrade path from fc5-t2 to fc5-t3
by George R Goffe
Howdy,
I am considering trying this but thought I'd ask the group if it's
been tested and/or if anyone is interested in my results.
Regards and thanks for your time,
George...

about to test FC5T3
by D. Hugh Redelmeier
I just downloaded FC5T3 for x86_64 via bittorrent. Being paranoid,
I'd have liked to find the hash values via another patch. For
example, the announcements.
In my search, I found http://fedora.redhat.com/download/test.html
It is *very* stale -- FC4T3! It has sha1sums. It should be updated
to FC5T3.
Here is the content of FC5-test3-DVD-x86_64/SHA1SUM. It is signed by
the Fedora Project key (found in /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora),
not the Fedora Project (Test Software) key.

Re: FC5 Test 3 can't even boot
by Fulko Hew
After researching these symptoms on the isolinux mailing list
(http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/):
"Unknown keyword in config file", and
"Could not find kernel image"
there seem to be many people having similar symptoms on their
non-Fedora systems too. There are many comments about being
BIOS related, but I could not find any definitive answer,
because none of the responses described what the BIOS problem
might be.
One person suggested a workaround that he found for his
system, and that worked for me on Test 3.
...When you enter 'linux' during the install bootstrap time,
it sort of activates macros in Isolinux's config file that
effectively causes Isolinux to invoke:
/isolinux/vmlinuz initrd=/isolinux/initrd.img
By entering this manually at the 'boot:' prompt,
I could still boot off of both the CD and DVD
distribution media, and continue the installation process.
(Of course I had anaconda fail and create a stack trace many
times, and had other issues, but at least I could boot the
installation process.)

Are mouse gestures permanently enabled?
by Fulko Hew
It seems as though 'mouse gestures' are permanently enabled (in KDE).
(I first noticed this when I migrated to Core 4 a month ago,
but I still get it on Core 5 test 3, and it never happened on Core 3).
a) When I use the touchpad to click on an item, say the fedora menu,
it will pop up, but as soon as I touch the mousepad again
to move along the menu, it acts as though I clicked the
menu button again, so the menu pops down.
b) Sometimes I might get so far as being able to click on the
logout option. The logout/shutdown window appears and the
screen starts to darken the background, but as soon as I
touch the mouse pad to move the pointer over to click on
the 'logout' button, it aborts the logout request, and
removes the window.
c) In Firefox, probably about 80% of the time, when I touch the
touchpad to move the mouse 'up and to the left' (to get to a
hyperlink), the browser acts as though I pushed the 'back' button.
d) Sometimes when I use the touchpad to move the curor 'up and left'
in a "Konsole" window, then window acts (scrolls) as though I was
dragging the scroll bar up.
All this sounds like 'mouse gestures' to me, so I went into
the KDE Control Center, and disabled 'gestures' in:
- accessibility,
- Input Actions
- disable mouse gestures globaly,
- in Actions->Konqueror gestures, I editied each entry and
explicitly disable each and every one.
But nothing has stopped this behaviour.

FC5T3: Why only so few screensavers available to choose in in KDE?
by Dariusz J. Garbowski
Hi,
For some reason I can see only very limited number of screensavers (21
in total) in KDE Control Center -> Appearance & Themes -> Screen Saver
panel. I know there are plenty more installed since choosing "Random"
option will result in screensaver I cannot choose manually. Worse yet,
half of the available ones are OpenGL (10) that do not seem to work on
my hardware :( I have a full list on FC3 box but not on FC5t3...
Is this supoosed to be this way? Why?
Regards,
Dariusz

WiFi card detected as Ethernet
by Leon Stringer
Hi,
My WiFi card is listed as an Ethernet card in system-config-network.
Consequently I can't configure the WEP key and other wireless settings.
So I have two questions:
- What can I do to get it to be listed as a WiFi card or will I have to
hack the scripts manually?
- Is this a known bug?
The card is listed as "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini
PCI Adapter"
Thanks,
Leon...

Running GLUT programs with nv driver
by Jonathan Berry
Hi all,
I am still trying to run GLUT programs on my rawhide box with the nv
driver (6600 GT). It looks like the execstack issue with Mesa has
finally been cleared up as I no longer get an error to that effect.
This is what I do get when I try to run a simple GLUT program:
$ ./gltest
freeglut (./gltest): Unable to create direct context rendering for
window 'An Example OpenGL Program'
This may hurt performance.
X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 29
Current serial number in output stream: 29
I get the "direct context rendering" warning on other systems, but the
programs still run on the systems with older non-3d ATI cards. Does
anyone know if software rendering will work with an nVidia card and
the nv driver?
