How to (re)create FC2 ISO images?
by Steve Snyder
Can someone point me to the procedure for (re)creating FC2 ISO images?
My goal is to take the original binary FC2 images, modify some of the
files on them, then create a new set of CDs from the modified fileset.
Thanks.

Re: ATI Driver for FC2
by shaungcarter＠charter.net
The same patches for the 3.7.6 driver work the same. you'll get a couple of fails on hunks in one of them, but I have the 3.9 driver working in FC2. By the way, UT2k4 framerates still suck with the ATI drivers.

If /etc/ is not reformatted, then isn't there an opportunity for the fresh
install to get scrambled? Particularly in /etc/init.d and the rc?.d sub-dirs?

NTP and 2.6 kernels
by Romain Kang
After running FC2 for the initial few hours, it became evident to
me that its 2.6 kernel is not keeping time as well as FC1's 2.4
kernels. I had been running NTP off, using the djb clockspeed hack
to keep time stable to within a few msec per week, but FC2 immediately
began loosing several seconds per hour. To compensate, I've turned
off clockspeed and reenabled NTP, which has apparently tamed my
time of day clock. However, the ntp drift file is showing about
-150 ppm where it had previously been closer to -20 ppm.
I understand that the ACPI support does things like adjust various
system clocks and other power saving features, with the second order
effect of reducing the noise from cooling fans. All in all, I'd
say this is a good thing for me. However, for people who want to
improve their inherent time-of-day stability, I conjecture that
disabling ACPI/APM features in the BIOS may help.

Okay, then, where is alsaconf? :-) I already have the latest version
of alsa-utils installed (according to 'yum install alsa-utils'), but
there is no 'alsaconf' file anywhere on my hard drive.

Problem with Synaptics Touchpad: Tapping does not work
by Yoichi Aso
Hi,
My laptop has a Synaptics Touchpad and it worked fine with FC1, i.e. a
tapping on the pad was recognized as a left click, and with a double
tapping I could perform a drag.
But after I upgraded to FC2, the system doesn't recognize tapping at all.
Any tapping is just ignored, though I can still control the cursor
position by the touchpad.
Does any one have similar trouble or any suggestion ?
My laptop is Panasonic CF-T2: CPU Centrino 1GHz, Memory 768MB.
I also use a Logitech usb mouse as a pointer device.
The following lines are excerpts from dmesg and xorg.conf which (I
think) are related to this issue.
Thanks in advance, Yoichi.

FC2 OOPS
by Ashley M. Kirchner
After one of my servers had been running RH7.3 for over a year, with
no problems, today I did a fresh installation of FC2 (fresh meaning I
formatted all the partitions prior to installation,) and this is what I
get after about five hours of uptime... [ see attached .txt file ]
Based on the time it happened, I'd say it was while there was some
heavy NFS traffic. (This machine is a backup server for 13 others: they
NFS mount one of its partitions, rsync, then unmount.) The time stamp
corresponds with one of the other server (the 8th in fact) just starting
off it's dump (the dumps happen sequentially.) And looking at the first
OOPS, I see nfsd as the running process, and the second OOPS points at
pdflush, but that's the extend of my knowledge of OOPSes. Can anyone
else shed any light here?
It's frustrating to say the least, that 7.3 ran so well for so long,
only to have FC2 blow up like this. So, any ideas anyone?

Re: Toshiba Laptop keyboard problem - FC2
by Neil Christensen
Hi,
I am also having trouble with my keyboard freezing. A couple of
times a week, the keyboard just stops responding. No matter whether I
have a shell open or emacs, or whatever. The keys I type do not show up
on the screen. I wait several minutes, but it does not improve.
Luckily the mouse still works and I am able to save my work and then
reboot to get it working again.

FC2 + X Windows and laptop screen turns Green
by Bryan Lincoln
Hi,
I've installed FC2 on a Dell laptop and all is fine except if I try to start X
windows. My screen turns green and I have to reboot. I had the same problem
with FC1. I'm guessing it might have to do with video drivers, or information
about sync rates? If I do Xorg -configure and then run that I get the same
problem,
as using the xorg.conf created at install when I tell it I'm using a Dell
laptop.
I'm dual booting and the windows side is ok so the monitor is functional.
thanks for any advice,
Bryan
