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

WiFi restoration
by Timothy Murphy
One room in my house is at the boundary of WiFi reception,
and WiFi occasionally fails there.
When this happens it is nearly always restored by re-booting.
Re-starting NetworkManager never does the trick, however.
Is there any other step I could take, short of re-booting?
I'm running Fedora-21/KDE.

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.

Yum and partial downloads.
by Robin Laing
This was a question asked of me by one of our network admins.
Background.
Today, while doing the updates on my machine at work, one of the
packages was close to 300MB in size. Yum tried to download this file
multiple times with no success. It kept timing out with the below 1000
Bytes/second for over 30 seconds.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=964298
In one case, the file was at 99% complete when it stopped. Restarted on
a different mirror at 0%
Due to firewall rules there is bandwidth management and it allows
downloads to start at a high speed only to slow down at 25MB.
The Question.
The network admin asked if Fedora was like Ubuntu that will continue
downloading where it left off? I stated I doubted it as the display
kept going back to zero

Nouveau trouble
by Anders Wegge Keller
With a Dell Precision M4600, running Fedora 21, I've started experiencing
troubles with my X sessions within the last six months. The symptoms is that
X frezzes, and sometimes, but not always, I can switch to a VT and make a
controlled shutdown. At other times, the machine is totally unresponsive,
and the only resort is to force a powerdown. I cannot state a more precise
date for the first occurrence, as I wrote it off as thermal problems.
However, after a vacuum session, the problem persisted, so I dug into the
system logs. In /var/log/messages, I find the following pattern on each
occurrence:
Apr 28 00:18:35 localhost kernel: [11057.344140] nouveau
E[gnome-shell[2031]] multiple instances of buffer 156 on validation list

00000002 00000002 00000000
...
The graphics card identifies as follows:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108GLM [Quadro
1000M] (rev a1)
The frequency of the lock-ups are independant on wheter Optimus Prime is
enabled or not.
Has anyone seen something similar to this before, and if so, what cures have
you found?

Tainted kernels
by Joe Zeff
Earlier, I'd asked about what was causing abrt to claim that my laptop's
kernel was tainted, even though I don't know of anything that would
cause this. Somebody asked me to check a certain location in /proc,
which turned out not to exist on the laptop. I'd like to check again,
and check it on my desktop as well because I know the desktop's kernel
is tainted by kmod-nvidia, and that would give me a good way to compare
a known-tainted kernel with my laptop's. Alas, I've lost the email with
the pointer in it. If anybody remembers what I'm supposed to check,
please let me know. Thanx!

what happened to the dkim-milter?
by Franta Hanzlík
I'm looking for Fedora 20 dkim-milter package (which was in F19 and
lower), but it seems as it isn't available - probably not even in
the F21). Know anyone?
Where can I see the fate of the packages that were formerly and now
are not it (e.g. LTSP and others) ?
