yes, I have tried the xset dpms flags option
eg. 'xset dpms 1201 1801 2401'
and these stay set until i reboot or kill X
but I _think_ I have seen a stray "dpms-like suspend" occur
at least once even with those settings.
So it still looks to me like some other system control.
I am using gnome; so maybe gnome power manager
is doing something here.
My system is a desktop not laptop.
Do you have any more info as to just how in your case
xset dpms was fighting with gnome power manager?

F12/Subversion/httpd -- PROPFIND access denied
by Steven F. LeBrun
After upgrading to Fedora 12, I installed and tried to set up a
Subversion repository with mixed success. I have worked out the bulk of
the issues but one still has me stumped. Hopefully, someone on this
list knows the answer or can point me to a URL that does.
The problem is that I cannot get Subversion to work with Apache 2.2.
Every time that I try to checkout the repository, I receive a 403
Forbidden Access error. To make matters more frustrating, if I access
the repository using local access (file:///...) the command works. It
is only when I try to use HTTP/WebDAV access (http://localhost/svn/...)
does the access problem occur.
Things that I have tried:
- SELinux enabled and disabled -- no difference.
- Various permissions and ownerships.
-- The repository and Subversion directories are currently owned by
apache.apache.
- Various settings in my subversion.conf file for httpd.
-- When the <LimitExcept> section is commented out, the failure comes
on the third
"PROPFIND /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk HTTP/1.1" request. The first
two return 207
while the third one returns 403. Using Wireshark, all three
requests are identical
barring numbers in the IP headers.
-- When the <LimitExcept> section is active, the failure comes on the
very first request,
"OPTIONS /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk HTTP/1.1" request with a 403
response.
-- Both 403 responses contain the same reason: "You don't have
permission to access
/svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk\n on this server."
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

GDM resolution.
by Grzegorz Witkowski
Hi,
I have got a problem with GDM resolution. It looks GDM uses a very low
resolution.
Once I log into Gnome, the resolution is back to normal (1440x900 set by
xrandr).
I can see there are setting for GDM in gconf-editor. Is there anyway to
set the resolution there or should this be set somewhere
in /etc/gdm/Init/Default or /etc/gdm/custom.conf maybe?
I do not want to use xorg.conf and come back to the past when xrandr
does the job for Gnome properly now, for me at least.
Any suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks.

small gripe -- for Fedora, or KDE, or ....?
by Beartooth
I run Gnome, and have a strong if irrational allergy to KDE in
general; but there are several apps (such as Konqueror for man pages, and
K3B) that I use so much that I make sure to get them even if I have to
install all of KDE to do it. I might well use, or at least try, several
more, if I didn't have to interrupt what I'm concentrating on ..
But for as long as I can remember, there have been two kinds of
entries in the Main menu: ones that will tell you what they are or do if
you hover the cursor over them -- and ones that belong to KDE.
Why the lacuna? Do KDE developers, like Apple developers, presume
that *everyone* already knows?
Do they, like the poet Stefan George, want entanglements of
"barbed wire against the uncalled" [Stacheldraht wider Unberufene] around
their demesnes?
Do they offer descriptions, which Fedora (a/o Fedora/Gnome) then
suppresses?? To whom ought one address a request for them??

Name of fedora lists - you're kidding right?
by Genes MailLists
Suggestion:
May I suggest as we move to the new mailling list server, that we
please change the name(s) from the current long (and goofy) one(s) such as:
"Community assistance, encouragement, and advice for using Fedora."
to something more concise ?
thanks.

F12: KDE and PulseAudio latest update
by Terry Barnaby
Having just updated my systems I have been trying to use skype with
an USB webcam having its own microphone under KDE.
The skype app only sees the PulseAudio device and cannot select
the USB webcams mic from its options menu. This used to work
some time in the past (F10 rather than F12 ?).
Also the KDE "System Settings/Multimedia" screen only shows the
"PulseAudio Sound Server".
paman shows the USB webcam mic is present.
How to I get Skype to use my USB webcams mic ?

Postfix, No SMTP AUTH when TLS is enabled
by froinds J
Hello,
I'm having a problem with postfix in F12.
I used to have my email server setup with F10. My setup had TLS
enabled (self signed certs) with SASL using pwcheck_method=auxprop and
CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5. I had virtual accounts.
Everything worked great until I installed F12. It was a clean install.
My issue now is the following:
If I disable TLS, postfix works as expected. If I enable it, I cannot
authenticate. Without TLS I can telnet to my server and I get 250-AUTH
CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5
250-AUTH=CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5. However, once I enable TLS this doesn't show.
My mail client says the server does not support CRAM-MD5 or any other method
of authentication I try when TLS is on.
I've tested the certs with openssl and I don't get any errors.
I've been running my mail server on Fedora since FC3 and I've never
encountered this issue.
Has anyone had this problem?
A solution will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
