Hi, I seem to have a couple of problems with what looks to be hal related, but would like some advice. First is mounting and showing CDs and DVDs. If I put a data CD or DVD into an FC4 machine, the disc icon shows on the desktop, the "Computer" icon shows the volume name on the drive with the disk in. That isn't happening on my rawhide box (and hasn't for a while). Instead I'm seeing Floppy Drive, Zip Drive, CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive, CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive, CD-RW/DVD+-R Drive, ZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ?, ZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ? (2), Filesystem, Network. The ZZZ files show as being USB drives. Currently I have an audio disc in the DVD+-R drive and that is showing as Audio Disc and as an icon on my desktop. If I have in a data disc, nothing shows on the desktop and the only way I know that something is in the drive is that /media shows cdrecorder1 as having >0 files in it. To unmount, I cannot right click the icon on Computer and select unmount from the menu as this gives a device in use error. However, if I use the Disk Management app from Redhat->System Tools, I can unmount without a problem. Related to this problem is if I put a USB flash pen or device onto my machine. Nothing shows even though lsusb shows something being there. For example, I currently have my Sony Ericsson T610 mobile connected. lsusb shows Bus 003 Device 003: ID 55aa:b012 OnSpec Electronic, Inc.

I recompile the 7676-0.lvn-2.4 version from livna with every new version of the kernel. If I don't, then my system works fine. If I do, install the built RPM and then restart X, X will not start giving an error about the library being built with the 7174 version, but the module being built with 7676. Looking at the logs, libglx seems to be the problem. Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" compiled for 4.0.2, module version 1.0.7174 Module class: XFree86 Server Extension ABI class: XFree86 Server Extension, version 0.1 Is there a way to fix this problem? I'm using rawhide, updated daily. TTFN Paul -- "Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion" - L.
