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.

"too many timeout resolving $DOMAIN, disabling EDNS"?
by David Hagood
Over the past couple of weeks I've been getting lots of messages like
this in my logs:
unexpected RCODE (SERVFAIL) resolving 'example.com/A/IN': 64.71.97.21#53
Aug 5 17:54:49 Deathwish named[1870]: too many timeouts resolving
'www.example.com/A' (in 'example.com'?): disabling EDNS
(where I have replaced the actual domain with "example.com")
This happens on MANY domains, not just a few, and on domains that I
would think would NOT be likely to have stupid problems (like Google and
Slashdot).
Has something changed in BIND that could cause this?

KDE 4 live image for i686
by Sebastian Vahl
Hi.
I've prepared a KDE4 live image for i686 for testing purposes. Last
weeks rawhide images didn't include the kde one because of a problem
with intel video drivers. Kwin would automatically enable compositing
support on such cards which seems to be broken atm. But we haven't a
bug report for that, yet. So if someone would like to provide one,
please test these images. radeon/nv users should not have these
problems.

http://www.fedoraforum.de/iso/test/rawhide-KDE4-i686-20071220/rawhide-KDE...
These images are based on rawhide from 2007-12-20 and also include
Jeremy's modifications to the kickstarts (like on the normal rawhide
image).
I'm not sure if installation would work. With my limited test
capabilities over christmas I cannot test these properly. In my tests
on one machine I've got problems with the partitioning. If this also
happens to you, please bug it.
Merry christmas,
Sebastian

blackberry support on fedora 8
by Ben Little
Hi all,
I'm trying to use my blackberry as a tethered modem and am having some
difficulties, I'm not quite sure how to set this up in the first place which
is probably the majority of my problem
I've installed "barry" but am unable to get barry-utils installed because of
this;
Missing Dependency: libboost_serialization.so.2 is needed by package
barry-util
I've looked into the provides for that file and apparently it's "boost"
which is installed.
boost-1.34.1-5.fc8
boost-1.34.1-5.fc8
boost-devel-1.34.1-5.fc8
(one is i386, one is x86_64 -- that's why it's listed twice)
I've read about XMBlackBerry but am unable to get that installed (more
dependency issues)
does anyone have good information on making a blackberry work as a tethered
modem on fedora 8?
Thanks!
