Laptop Sony Vaio R505TS - test2 - ACPI
by fedora-test-list
All:
I've done a fresh install of Fedora test2 on my Sony Vaio R505TS (ACPI
based).
ACPI doesn't seem to work, the Gnome battery applet gives me no love, and
there aren't the directories in /proc/acpi that there are when I run a
ACPI custom patched kernel.
I've got the following boot params set:
nogui acpi=on pci=biosirq
# ps -ef | grep acpi
root 3137 1 0 21:47 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/acpid
root 3822 3772 0 22:09 pts/0 00:00:00 grep acpi
# ls -la /proc/acpi/
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x 6 root root 0 Oct 1 21:47 .
dr-xr-xr-x 98 root root 0 Oct 1 17:46 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 alarm
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 asus
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 button
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 dsdt
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 embedded_controller
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 21:47 event
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 fadt
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 info
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 power_resource
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 sleep
Any direction or things to try would be most appreciated, thanks.
Please cc' me on your reply as I'm in digest mode.

Is there a howto around somewhere descriping how to create a DVD media for
RHL/Fedora Core??? Alternatively, was it an idea to produce a DVD image

RAM requirements for NFS installation
by Pavel Rosenboim
Hi,
I installed the FC test2 over NFS (and VNC) on a machine with 128 MB
RAM. After partitioning stage I got a message saying that I don't have
enough RAM and swap must be activated immediately. Previously, I
installed taroon on the same machine and I didn't see such message. Is
this a bug or NFS/VNC combination requires more RAM?

Stopping VMware from complaining about DGA
by Felipe Alfaro Solana
Hi!
I'm trying to consolidate two real machines into a single, big-iron box
by using VMware. The idea is that both virtual machines are brought up
automatically when the system starts up, automatically, with no user
intervention.
I feel VMware has a real, serious limitation, and it's the fact that it
requires an X session to run. I want to virtualize two servers running
text-only mode Linux, but since VMware requires X, I've set up Xvnc and
configured it to automatically start up a twm-based Xvnc session under a
non-privileged user. The problem is that the virtual machines don't
start up completely since the !@#!$%^ VMware keeps complaining that the
virtual machine can't run in full screen mode since it doesn't support
DGA. Dismissing the non-sense warning brings another one complaning that
it could not obtain modelines information from the X server.
Does anyone have a clue on how to convince VMware that I'm not
virtualizing Windows, that I don't need fullscreen capabilities, that I
don't need, don't have and don't want DGA, and that no, I don't need a
mouse instead of having to trick VMware and point the mouse to
/dev/null? Does anyone have a clue on how can I *disable* those stupid
warnings?
How come! How can anyone try to virtualize a server farm if the VM
software is complaining about trivial things? ;)
Uhmm! Maybe I'll need to turn to User-Mode-Linux.
Thanks!
PS: What about VMware GSX? Is it a "little bit smarter" than VMware? Is
there any other virtualization software that doesn't assume you will
want to run a GUI-based, mouse-based, full-screen-based, crash-prone
operating system?

speedtch.o Error
by Georg E Schneider
Using Fedora Core
Alcatel Speedtouch USB Modem
Sometimes (not always) if I boot up I get the error-message (i don't
remember correctly)
insmod error cannot load module speetch.o
speedtch already loaded
for me it's not a real problem, but I think If a modul is already loaded
init have not to load it a second time.

oOO-1.1 and prelink
by James Drabb
Wow, prelinking OOo-1.1 gives very impressive startup times.
For the first startup I get 4 seconds, with 2 seconds after that.
One other not about prelink, it seems to hose gstreamer or at least
programs that use it. After prelinking /usr/bin which has jamboree and
sound-juicer in it, those two apps would segfault when I tried to run
them. Undoing the prelink on jamboree and sound-juicer fixed them both
and now they run. Is there any way to tell the prelink cron job to
ignore certain files? I am using Fedora Core 0.94.
