RAGE XL Framebuffer
by Yanick Quirion
Hi all
I know that is not a specific question about Fedora, but I can't find answer on the kernel mailing list.
Is somebody having server with integrated ATI RAGE XL video card? Is it possible to patch the kernel to support this video card? If I add VGA=791 in my grub.conf, I will have a resolution of 1024x768 which is good, but the display is very slow (especially when the screen is scrolling). If I use I this: "video=aty128fb:1024x768@70" it will not work. I'm using kernel 2.4.22 but I will try 2.6.0-test11 today.
If somebody has a patch, a link or anything else that can help me, it will be appreciated.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,

Soundblaster
by Antonio Montagnani
I have two similar PC (old Pentium but workin fine)
In Pc no.1 I upgraded from RH8 to Fedora and it went fine: Soundblaster
is working fine
In Pc no.2 I made a fresh installation but in redhat-sound-config Fedora
doesn't see any card, that was working on Redhat 9 after soundconfig...
Where is the trick?? I assume that my Sounblaster is an old 16...but
fine on a router/firewall.
Tnx

Tablet hardware
by Florian Weimer
Is there any tablet-like hardware which is well-supported by Fedora 20
and later? Something with a high-resolution display?
I don't need 3D acceleration beyond what's needed to run a typical
desktop environment, but I'd like to have lots of RAM, a bit of CPU
power (perhaps even a current Core i7) and an SSD with decent read
speed.

current laptop recommendations
by Ian Malone
Anyone have any good suggestions for a new laptop with good Linux
compatibility? My current one is about 8 years old (IIRC), not looking
for anything superspecced to replaced it, just annoyances like reduced
battery life and the wifi switch playing up are starting to build up
(plus people have poked the screen one too many times). It's a 13.3"
screen with 100GB hard drive and I guess I'd be hoping to find
something similar with a maximum budget of about £500.

PyPDF2 and stapler on Fedora?
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I was making an rpm for these two for my personal use, but it just occurred to me that this may be available in some Fedora repo I am not aware of. So I thought I would ask before spending more time on.
The stapler package that i am referring to is not the one already in Fedora. It is this one:
https://github.com/fwenzel/stapler/archive/0.4.zip
and the PyPDF2 is this one:
https://mstamy2.github.io/PyPDF2/
with the package at:
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/P/PyPDF2/PyPDF2-1.24.tar.gz
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

Hello,
Very often I reach a situation where I cannot work because fedora
is swapping permanently.

rpm -V - verifying packages
by Robin Laing
Hello,
I don't know if I found a bug with upgrade or if there is a strange
issue with rpm.
I have upgraded from F19 to F21 on a machine. The upgrade worked quite
well.
Due to the nVidia driver changes, I installed the nVidia driver from
nVidia instead of the normal rpmfusion as the 340 driver was not
available. Today I decided to give the latest Nouveau driver a try but
knowing that the nVidia install can and will change files, I decided to
check my machine with rpm -Va > rpm_verify.txt
To my shock, many files came back with
S.?......
for the verification response. When I say many, the line count is 705
files.
I did rebuild the database after the upgrade but there seems to be some
issue.
I have been going through the packages that I can and doing yum
reinstall to clean them up.
The machine is running well so I am not sure where the issue is coming from.
Should I be submitting a bug report? Under what package?
I will only be going back to the nVidia driver if I cannot get Steam
working.
