Changing the Color Coded Filesystem
by General Manager
Hello,
Can Anyone tell me how I can change the color files systems. The color blue
for the "Directories" is really hard to see.
Also is there a way to change the background color?
Thanks

Issues w/ Xorg 7.0, Dell L610, and i810 drivers
by Philip Prindeville
I'm using a Dell L610 to run FC5 (updated), and it has an i915GM controller,
which uses the i810 drivers...
I can't seem to configure it correctly (I've attached the config I'm
using). It
seems to have two issues.
(1) it probes for the monitor DDC sync values, which disagree with what I've
explicitly configured, but looking at the Xorg.0.log file, it gives
no indication
of what the EDID actually said the values were (grrr... you can never
have too
much logging).
(2) it then complains that "1400x1050" isn't a known modeline (no mode of
this name), even though I've explicitly configured a modeline with that
exact setting.
and the second head (in this case, connected to a Dell 1704FPV via DVI
hanging off a port-replicator) never seems to light up.
I've attached both the config and the log file. If anyone has had luck with
this, please let me know.
Thanks,
-Philip

kudzu and modems.
by akonstam＠trinity.edu
I can't understand the behavior of kudzu in respect to my serial
modem. After initial installation it detects the modem but after that
it is ignored. What I mean is I can remove the modem and kudzu ignores
the change, or I can remove the modem from the kudzu database and
kudzu ignores the change. I can run: kudzu --class MODEM and kudzu
will remove all my hardware from its database except the MOUSE but it
still ignores the modem.
How can I get kudzu to notice that I have changed, removed or added
the modem?

compiz on fc5
by Kazimieras Vaina
Hi,
I found an unofficial yum repo with xgl and compiz:
http://users.telenet.be/quenta/repo/
I installed all packages from there, but Xgl failed to start. It says
that "function not implemented" or something like that. I suspect that
mesa packages shipped in fc5 are not compatible with xgl...
Anybody using this repo ? I'm too lazy to compile it from source.

by Paul Smith
Dear All
I print to a file, file.ps, a web-page with text. Then, I apply ps2pdf
and I get file.pdf. However, I cannot copy (from file.pdf) the text to
a text editor. Can one get a pdf file with copyable text?
Thanks in advance,

OpenGL problems
by Ali Helmy
Hey lads,
I need to ask some help of you... here's my dilemma:
I wanted to install the TuxRacer <http://tuxracer.sourceforge.net/> game, so
i downloaded the .tar.gz file, and unpacked... on running ./configure
though, i got the following message:
configure: error: Your copy of glx.h is out of date. You can get a more
recent copy from the latest Mesa distribution (http://mesa3d.sourceforge.net
).
So, I strolled over to mesa3d and downloaded their latest installed library
pack... then when trying to install it by make install, i got:
mkdir ${INCLUDE_DIR}
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include': File exists
mkdir ${INCLUDE_DIR}/GL
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include/GL': File exists
mkdir ${INCLUDE_DIR}/GLES
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include/GLES': File exists
mkdir ${LIB_DIR}
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/lib': File exists
cp -f ${TOP}/include/GL/*.h ${INCLUDE_DIR}/GL
cp -f ${TOP}/src/glw/*.h ${INCLUDE_DIR}/GL
# NOT YET: cp -f ${TOP}/include/GLES/*.h ${INCLUDE_DIR}/GLES
cp ${CP_FLAGS} ${TOP}/lib*/lib* ${LIB_DIR}
echo "Done."
Done.
Now, when i try and install tuxracer, i get the same message of the
out-dated glx header... so, i don't really know what to do...
Ideas?
