Scanner detected in root
by Ferrero Horacio
I've in my computer installed a PCTV Board and a USB-HP Scanner both are
recognized by Fedora.
My problem is : If I want to have the initial choice of input devices,
giving me not only the video card choice but also my scanner too, I've
to launch "sudo xsane" because if I said only xsane I do not get my
scanner detected.
Could someone explain me why?
Thanks in advance

ATI 9100 IGP no true color
by Xiaotian Sun
Hi,
I've been trying to get my ATI 9100 IGP to display in true color (24
bit depth). Xorg.0.log says it's in 24-bit depth. But from the
displayed image it can be clearly seen it's not in 24-bit depth.
I've tried both the radeon driver and the ATI fglrx driver. I've also
tried D-Sub and DVI. All the same.
My monitor is Dell 2001FP in 1600x1200 mode.
Anyone know how to fix the problem?
Thanks,
Xiaotian

problem with new lcd monitor
by BB Cao
Dear All,
My old monitor finally phased out. Unfortunately when I pluged in, I got a message "mode not support" after FC3 started about 1 minute, and the keyboad didn't respone me, but the machine seemingly is still working in an unvisuable way. Am I supposed to reinstall FC3 in order to solve this problem? Thanks.
Best,
BB Cao

strange new problem -- Auto-logging me out
by Jeff Vian
In the past 4 days my machine has started logging me out.
I am running FC3, fully updated.
I usually leave the system logged in (at home, behind a firewall) and my
email client running to keep my mail server from getting overloaded.
Since about Saturday I have been finding that the system has logged me
out and when I come back to it the screen is at the GUI login.
/var/log/messages shows nothing untoward except the killing of the login

chkrootkit shows nothing.
netstat never shows any unexpected connections.
This looks like something has put the session on auto logout, but the
timing seems a bit intermittent. It never logs out when I am active on
the console, but only after it has been idle for a time.
I have checked preferences and was unable to find anything that would
set the session for an idle timeout/logout.
Does anybody know of a recent update that would do this, or know how I
can check/reset anything that causes the logout?
My habit of leaving the machine run 24X7 with things going on
automatically is being interrupted with this behavior. Any help will be
appreciated.
Thanks

How turn off screen when close notebook?
by Christopher J. Bottaro
Hello again,
I want my notebook's LCD screen to turn off when I close the notebook and
then turn back on when I open it up again.
I opened/closed my notebook and looked in /var/log/acpid:
[Thu Jun 2 15:35:18 2005] received event "button/lid LID 00000080 00000001"
[Thu Jun 2 15:35:18 2005] completed event "button/lid LID 00000080
00000001"
[Thu Jun 2 15:35:46 2005] received event "button/lid LID 00000080 00000002"
[Thu Jun 2 15:35:46 2005] completed event "button/lid LID 00000080
00000002"
So obviously I need to add a conf my /etc/acpi/events dir:
event=button/lid LID 00000080 00000001
action=???turn on LCD???
event=button/lid LID 00000080 00000002
action=???turn off LCD???
What should those actions be? Thanks for the help.

system not swapping
by Eric Storch
I am not sure why but my system is not swapping.
When I run swapon -s it shows:
Filename Type Size Used
Priority/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 partition
2031608 0 -9
When I run free -m it shows:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1003 986 16 0 81 450
-/+ buffers/cache: 454 548
Swap: 1983 0 1983
The really odd thing here is when I open a terminal i get:
bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
bash-3.00$
How can I force the kernel to swap?
uname -a shows :
2.6.11-1.27_FC3 #1 Tue May 17 20:27:37 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
any info is good info, and thanks.
