what does FC5 x86-64 upgrade do with i386?
by Jack Howarth
I am still a bit unclear on what I should expect when attempting
to upgrade a FC4 x86-64 installation to FC5 x86-64. Specifically, I
have installed the i386 firefox and associated plugin rpms on the
FC4 x86-64 machine using yum.repos.d entries of fedora.i386.repo,
fedora-updates.i386.repo and fedora-extras.i386.repo (which are all
disabled by default). How exactly does the anaconda react to the
presence of the i386 rpms on a x86-64 machine? Will they be removed
in favor of the x86-64 rpms form FC5?
Also I have asked this several times here before but never gotten
a response. How are people keeping their i386 rpms properly updated
on a x86-64 machine? So far I can see no other option than to manually
reinstall the i386 packages with yum (using --enable-repo) when new
versions are available. However that is a very painful process and
makes it very difficult to keep the i386 rpms on a x86-64 machine
properly updated.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

by General Manager
Hello,
Can Anyone tell me how I can change the color files systems. The color blue
for the "Directories" is really hard to see.
Also is there a way to change the background color?

Issues w/ Xorg 7.0, Dell L610, and i810 drivers
by Philip Prindeville
I'm using a Dell L610 to run FC5 (updated), and it has an i915GM controller,
which uses the i810 drivers...
I can't seem to configure it correctly (I've attached the config I'm
using). It
seems to have two issues.
(1) it probes for the monitor DDC sync values, which disagree with what I've
explicitly configured, but looking at the Xorg.0.log file, it gives
no indication
of what the EDID actually said the values were (grrr... you can never
have too
much logging).
(2) it then complains that "1400x1050" isn't a known modeline (no mode of
this name), even though I've explicitly configured a modeline with that
exact setting.
and the second head (in this case, connected to a Dell 1704FPV via DVI
hanging off a port-replicator) never seems to light up.
I've attached both the config and the log file. If anyone has had luck with
this, please let me know.
Thanks,
-Philip

kudzu and modems.
by akonstam@trinity.edu
I can't understand the behavior of kudzu in respect to my serial
modem. After initial installation it detects the modem but after that
it is ignored. What I mean is I can remove the modem and kudzu ignores
the change, or I can remove the modem from the kudzu database and
kudzu ignores the change. I can run: kudzu --class MODEM and kudzu
will remove all my hardware from its database except the MOUSE but it
still ignores the modem.
How can I get kudzu to notice that I have changed, removed or added
the modem?

compiz on fc5
by Kazimieras Vaina
Hi,
I found an unofficial yum repo with xgl and compiz:
http://users.telenet.be/quenta/repo/
I installed all packages from there, but Xgl failed to start. It says
that "function not implemented" or something like that. I suspect that
mesa packages shipped in fc5 are not compatible with xgl...
Anybody using this repo ? I'm too lazy to compile it from source.

Dear All
I print to a file, file.ps, a web-page with text. Then, I apply ps2pdf
and I get file.pdf. However, I cannot copy (from file.pdf) the text to
a text editor. Can one get a pdf file with copyable text?
Thanks in advance,
