by RaXeT
Just grabbed the latest 2.6.0 from arjanv and it has the following
BUSTED dep:
error: Failed dependencies:
module-init-tools is needed by kernel-2.6.0-0.test5.1.43
If you download module-init-tools-0.9.13 rpm it and install, it also
throws conflict with existing rmmod etc
Please fix.

My email client has a search button too.
Besides, the web archives for this list can be used as a forum.
It if were decent, you could also post/reply from there,
but I guess this is a RFE...

Actually, you can see the code to the interface layer. You just can't
get the code for the driver itself. A compromise that I for one am
willing to live with......
From the nVidia driver faq:
Q: How can I see the source code to the kernel interface layer?
A: The source files to the kernel interface layer are in the usr/src/nv
directory of the extracted .run file. To get to these sources, run:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg1.run --extract-only
cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg1/usr/src/nv/

Log-off screen painting noticeably slower
by Robert G. (Doc) Savage
We now return to our regularly scheduled beta testing in progress...
I keep my Severn system regularly up2dated. Lately I've noticed when I
select "Log out" the display no longer darkens smoothly. Now it makes
three distinct passes -- each a little darker than before and separated
by a half beat -- as it displays "Are you sure you want to log off?"
My X configuration is:
ATI Rage 128 Mobility
LCD Panel 1600x1200
DefaultDepth 24
XFree86 4.3.0-32
Is anyone else noticing this behavior? Mike Harris?

Pls help!!!

Some one attack on my server by Flooding and spoofed into DNS
I believe it was my own staff.
Then They are not control because the security is not tide !
I have a Gateway server called
titan.myserv.com
192.168.42.LAN<------->[192.168.42.01]
192.168.43.LAN<------->[192.168.43.01]

subnetmask = 255.255.255.0

/var/named/192.168.43.db = 12 users
/var/named/192.168.44.db = 8 users
* No DHCP, All Manually assigned !
DNS:
-[Cache]
-Internal DNS IP = 192.168.42.1,192.168.43.1,192.168.44.1
-External DNS IP = 202.188.0.133,161.142.0.17....more.
Description Of DNS configuration :
-Forward to external if cant resolved
Help In this :
1. Users can simply point to external/ISP DNS without going throught my
DNS. I dont want this to happen.
2. I only want IP addessses which existed in /var/named/192 <files>
Can do query on the Internal DNS.
3. I hope External DNS is blocked forever, so user cannot directly query
External DNS.
4. I hope A computer without an IP and hostname given by administrator
in the LAN cannot communicate even they dont Have to resolve IP to
Name applications.
Thats all.
*I had gone throught tldp.org but they had less info i want.
Thanks

Re: module-init-tools package
by Lars G
shure with that?
i dont want to overwrite my previous installed kernel 2.6
the readme says:
"Installing
----------
download the rpm's (pick the proper kernel rpm for your cpu) and only use
rpm -i. For the helper packages use rpm -U"
don't think "-U" will do good for me here.
best,
lars

Update not install, sir.

click in title bar in focused window results in unsucessfull drag
by Stephen Moore
If you click on the title bar of the window with the current focus, then
drag window.
The window ignores the drag,
a second click somewhere on the desktop will result in the window
jumping to that position.
I have verified that this behaviour does not happen in rh9
clicking and draging unfocused windows is fine

hello
tried to install with --nodeps, but i get this error:
rpm -i --nodeps kernel-2.6.0-0.test5.1.43.athlon.rpm
warning: kernel-2.6.0-0.test5.1.43.athlon.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 9d6b4012

best,
lars
ps. does "V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 9d6b4012" mean that the package is not signed
or that i do not have the proper key?
if its the second, where can i get the key for the 2.6 test rpms?
