Media change
by Alex Makhlin
Hi,
Before yesterdays upgrade that I installed for Fedora 9 KDE 4.1 I was
able to access all my drives through the terminal window by typing cd
//media and now I cannot access them. Is there a different command to
access all including external drives?

desperately seeking "IgnoreEDID"
by Robert P. J. Day
i'm still fighting to get my WUXGA display laptop to ignore the
EDID information coming back from a video device, so i simplified the
problem and here's what's happening so far.
i have a fresh install of f9 on an aging dell inspiron 9200 with a
full WUXGA display, and i'm trying to drive a full-res WUXGA signal
into an external video processing device that is (theoretically)
supposed to be able to handle that.
if i connect my laptop to an external full WUXGA flat-panel
(Samsung) display, no problem -- the image is perfect,
pixel-for-pixel, and full WUXGA on both laptop and external monitor.
if, however, i connect the laptop to that external video device,
that external device is (apparently) returning EDID information that
claims to not be able to accept full WUXGA (even though it should be
able to, allowing us to conclude that its EDID info is simply wrong
and we'll have to fix that at some point.) and doing that also forces
my laptop down to a lower resolution. argh.
i figured that a simple solution is to just configure my laptop to
ignore incoming EDID and keep driving the signal at full WUXGA, but i
can't get that to work. here's my change to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (text
copied by hand as the laptop is not on the net):
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "Radeon"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "True" <-- added this
EndSection
as an experiment, i connected the laptop to a flat panel dell
1280x1024 display to see what would happen, logged out, logged back
in, and the Xorg log file contains the line:
(**) RADEON(0): Option "OptionEDID" "True"
which i would have thought confirms the ignoring of incoming EDID, but
i still get the same effect of having my laptop resolution dropped
noticeably (in this case, to 1152x864, according to "xdpyinfo"),
ostensibly to accommodate the decreased resolution of the external
monitor.
so,
1) is there something else i should be trying to get my laptop to
totally ignore the fact that it's connected to an external device that
claims to not be capable of full WUXGA, and
2) if i succeed in ignoring EDID with this test flat panel,
obviously, the flat panel can't handle that (full WUXGA) signal so i'm
not expecting to get a useful image, but is there a chance i could
damage the flat panel?
open to suggestions.

Selinux is preventing the ntpd from using potentially mislabeled files (./services)
by Claude Jones
I'm getting lots of these alerts. I can't figure out what ./services is, and
the suggested fix produces the following:
*********************************************************
restorecon -v './services'
restorecon: stat error on ./services: No such file or directory
*********************************************************
I get these same alerts for cupsd, dhclient, and procmail - identical wording
except for the service named. Does anyone know the solution?

fc9: bind weirdness
by listserv.traffic＠sloop.net
FC9 with latest updates
I've configured bind with all the defaults and modified bind.conf to
answer questions on all interfaces to all clients.
But weird stuff is happening.
bind/named starts properly on boot.
But it refuses to resolve for any hosts other than localhost.
The config file however shows it should resolve for anyone.
But if I log-in and restart bind (# service named restart) it will
suddenly start resolving for anyone.
Thoughts? It's killing me, and I can't see any reason it would work
properly after a restart and not at regular boot.
TIA
