eSATA removable drive
by D. Hugh Redelmeier
I have an eSATA external hard drive case. I want to hotplug / unplug it.
My system is Fedora 11.
I added an external eSATA port on my desktop computer by adding a bracket
(with an internal cable connected to one of the ordinary SATA sockets on
the motherboard.)
The SATA controller is an intel ICH9R. To make hotplug work, I needed
to go the computer's BIOS and change the SATA mode to AHCI (it was
IDE).
I can now hotplug the drive.
I cannot unplug the drive. If I tell the system to eject the drive,
it complains:
# eject /dev/sdi
eject: device "/dev/sdi" doesn't have a removable or hotpluggable flag
# cat /sys/block/sdi/removable
0
(I don't know where or what a hotpluggable flag is.)
I guess that makes sense: the system doesn't know that I added an
eSATA bracket.
What are the reasonable ways to tell the system that that SATA port is
an eSATA port and should allow for hotplugging/unplugging?
My guess is some kind of HAL rule but I'm not an initiate. Maybe
something in here would work:

Surely lots of people have already encountered this issue. If so,
there ought to be a non-wizard way to handle it.

F13: Delay in screen refresh
by Marco Guazzone
Hi,
I've noticed that there is a some kind of "delay" in the screen refresh.
For instance, under VIM when I move the cursor (that is a black
rectangle) under a character, it takes between 1 and 4 secs before
the character appears inside the cursor.
I've experienced the same issue under OpenOffice and FireFox.
This is really annoying. :(
Under F12 no problem
Does any other experienced this behaviour?
My system is:
* OS: F13 x86_64 - up-to-dated
* WM: OpenBox
* CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo
* GPU: Intel GM965/GL960
* RAM: 2GB
Thank you so much!

Kernel boot problems or is my hard drive failing ?
by linux guy
If I power down my laptop via the usual KStart->Shutdown means, it can
take up to 4 restart attempts before it fully boots.
It has no problem launching grub and the kernel selection screen. That
it does reliably every time. After that, there are issues.
Twice I will get a back screen with a flashing cursor. Then I will get
an ehci -19 error. Then it will boot properly.
My fscks are fine. I had a block error once, about two weeks ago, but
that was with an older F12 kernel after completely crashing during a
resume from suspend to RAM.
Is anyone else experiencing a problem booting ? Does this sound like a
kernel problem or is my hard drive failing ?
Thanks

Vinagre???
by Antonio M
I have two boxes, both have UltraVNC and Vinagre (Remote desktop
viewer), exactly the same packages both in F11 fully updated
When I connect from A to B both Vinagre and UltraVNC work, but when I
connect from Ato B UltraVNC works fine but in Vinagre I see the list
of remote desktops, but when I try to connect I get the message
Connection closed: The connection to host B has been closed.
Any idea??
Tnx

Monitor disconnects (?) in F13
by Patrick O'Callaghan
F13, KDE. I have the screensaver set to activate after 5 minutes and it
seems to work fine. Nevertheless if I leave the machine for a long
period, say an hour or two (I'd need to experiment more to be sure, and
that takes time of course) the monitor refuses to wake up but just shows
a small error message of its own telling me that the recommended
settings are 1440x900.
Needless to say, that's the resolution I already use. The monitor is a
Samsung SyncMaster 920NW, landscape format LCD, and it worked fine in
F12, F11 and I think F10 (I've had it for a while).
The only recourse seems to be a hard reset as there's no reaction to the
keyboard or mouse. I haven't yet tried ssh from another machine to poke
around. If anyone tells me what to look for I'll be happy to do it next
time.
I turned off power management to see what happens. It didn't make any
difference.

Fedora on netbook with 2GB of storage?
by Valent Turkovic
Hi,
does anybody know of any Fedora Remix that would work on HDD that is
only 2GB? Asus eee 701 2G has only 2GB of storage and SD card reader
doesn't work :(
Even Ubuntu remixed are ok if you don't know any Fedora Remix that
would fit and still be usable on 2GB of storage space.
Cheers!
