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.

Error: No Package Matching glibc.i686

Is this a new feature or a bug? Shouldn't this update also glibc?

On the contrary, yum update glibc and glibc.i686 work just fine:

Wireless (again and again)?
by Knute Johnson
Below is the content of /var/log/messages after I connect my USB
Wireless adapter. I was told that this adapter was supposed to work
out of the box. Can anybody tell me what to do to make it work? I
need to have WPA working.
Thanks very much,

Fedora 7, Eclipse, Java and Jena
by Oliver Ruebenacker
Dear friends,
Some larger Java project which ran smoothly before on other
platforms breaks in Eclipse under Fedora 7. I tried both Fedora
Eclipse and original Eclipse with Sun's Java and get the same error
(see below). It happens while Jena tries to extract a model from a
text. Any ideas? Some problem with libgcj? Thanks!
Take care
Oliver
