usb camera question
by ryan
hi
i have a question that i've been unable to find an answer to. using FD
RC3 trying to install USB quickcam. i've grabbed the latest drivers in
the CVS for qce-ga, and i'm also running the latest kernel for RC3.
it appears to compile properly, but insmod is not happy. i'm not overly
sure where to begin...
any ideas/help is appreciated (info below). i'm new to this list so if
i'm off-topic please clue-bat me.
cheers

Mouse - strange bevaviour
by Roger Grosswiler
Hello all,
i have a compaq proliant with a micorsoft intellimouse ps/2-style rev.
1.2A.
While installing, i had no mouse at all - so no problem, lets install it
later.
So, when i finished installing and rebooted the machine, i could move
the mouse - until the moment, my server entered in runlevel 5 (from the
screenwhere you see your services starting.)
No problem, i thought, taking redhat-config-mouse, changing onto the
mentionned mouse, should work....was quite positive thinking as it does
not work at all.
But why, why, why, did the mouse work while booting the machine from the
first gui-screen until the launch of runlevel-specific services???
Any help is very, very appreciated.
BTW. gui looks even nice....
Cheers,
Roger

Apple Errata policy same as Fedora?
by Dax Kelson
From:
http://news.com.com/2100-7355_3-5098688.html?tag=st_lh
===================
They have stated that they want to release a new version of OS X every
year, but this is the first time they have hinted that they will not be
supporting any particular OS X version for more than that year and that
they expect all their customers to upgrade their operating system on a
yearly basis," he said.
===================
So I guess the difference for Mac OS and Fedora users who want to stay
current with security fixes is that the Mac OS guys will have to pay $129
each year.
Of course the Fedora legacy project might remove the need to upgrade your
OS each year.

Nvidia Driver Problems?
by David Zakar
Has anyone else been having odd nvidia driver problems lately?
Observe:
[erwos@localhost erwos]$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: No
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.3
Now, isn't this interesting? I've got the "nvidia" drivers installed,
yet I've got no direct-rendering. The XF86Config file is properly
written, too. I've used the nvidia stuff for years, so I'd be surprised
if I had made a configuration mistake on this.
I have been using yum to keep up to date, too. After the last XF86 and
kernel upgrade, I reinstalled the latest nVidia drivers. No love. All
the symlinks and such seem to be in proper order, too, which is even
odder.
Now, I have a confession to make: I don't know if direct rendering ever
worked. I tried TuxRacer, but, alas, my CPU is too fast, and I thought
it was using 3D acceleration when it wasn't. That'll teach me to use
glxinfo, huh?
So, has anyone else had similar problems? I can provide more information
if anyone wants to see it.
Thanks for all the hard work on Fedora - it's a really excellent
distribution!

New fedora-release in rawhide
by Doug Stewart
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I noticed that, upon running up2date this morning, it was prompting me
to upgrade fedora-relase to 1-1 (over 0.95). I skipped that package, so
as to avoid any potential nastiness. Does this mean that next week's
FC1 release has been bumped up? Will there be any complications if I
upgrade to the newer fedora-release?

Note that nothing above has the word "support" in it.... This list
getting WAY too many support and OT threads going to keep up with it... I
can appreciate the desire to get TV out working - but this list should not
be the first place you stop to learn how to do so... there's plenty of
places on the web that will get you off to a good start....
Have you even _read_ the previous posts to this topic?
I really wanna help with the Fedora stuff - but damn, 200 emails a
day is really excessive when the signal-to-noise ratio starts to drop like
this.... Join a LUG and learn to use friggin' "Google" people!

kernel-2.6 test8
by Mike Chambers
Is there now going to be a test8 soon of the 2.6 kernel now that it has
been released to be tested?
I even tried up2dating yesterday, or was that this morning, but it
failed to connect to arjan's repository, or it connected but hug.
