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.

The f10 builds seem to work fine for me (finding the plugins), so perhaps
this is rawhide-specific?
To be clear, digikam's Settings -> configure digikam -> Kipi Plugins is
empty?

Since the latest xorg-X11 upgrade I receive the already mentioned XKB
error and the mouse wheel is not working anymore.
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.

Repeated Kernel Oopses (WiFi)
by Christopher A Williams
This has been rather annoying on my laptop, but I am getting constant
kernel oopses with my WiFi and broadband adapters. This is on a ThinkPad
T400. It usually happens when I connect or disconnect USB devices, which
includes my broadband adapter. A trace from an example happening with my
WiFi adapter is below.
Anyone else having these issues, or is it just me and something I may or
may not have done?
Cheers,
Chris

finger print reading broken?
by Michael Cronenworth
Under Fedora 10, finger print reading worked with my supported aes1610
finger print device. GDM let me login with my finger.
Under Fedora 11 it no longer detects my reader at all. I fired up a Live
CD and it does not detect the reader either.
I don't see any bugzilla component for the fprint stuff. Where do we
file bugs?

koji kernel: "barrier-based sync failed"
by Robert P. J. Day
after installing the current koji kernel for my x86_64 system (for
the purpose of testing video), very early in the boot process, i got
the following diagnostic flashing on the screen, followed by a total
system hang:
JBD: barrier-based sync failed on dm-0:8 - disabling barriers
i powered down, powered back up, and got further into the boot process
up to the network initialization, then rapid flashing of ADDRCONF
messages on the screen, then another hang.
thoughts?
