latest testing kernels.
by Dave Jones
Two new kernels (one each for FC2 / FC3) went into testing today,
which should fix the nasty SATA problems a lot of folks saw,
and also the megaraid regression on FC2.
These will get moved across to updates proper later today
unless theres something terribly wrong with them.
I'll send out a full changelog announcement later today too.
Thanks for your patience and testing with this problem.

Setting a DNS without using neat
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
As neat seems to be currently broken due to python being broken, how can
I set a DNS server address? ifcfg eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gives me an error
that eth0 cannot be contacted (or something like that)

Strange Evolution/Xorg Combination
by Miguel Pereira Leite
Hi there.
I'm some kind of newbie, but..
I've FC3 final full updated ( but openoffice.org)
My xorg is in cinerama mode:
------
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Multihead layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" LeftOf "Screen1"
Screen 1 "Screen1" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "Xinerama" "on"
Option "Clone" "off"
EndSection
-------
my graphics cards are 1 Nvidia TNT 2 and 1 Sis 315 (ok, they are ugly,
but i work mostly with text)
Everything works fine. But when i'm in Evolution and try to reply an e-
mail or to write a new mail, the X server goes full speed and "heats"
all available CPU and the machine gets freezed for some time (10, 15
seconds).
Did anyone seen this before? what can i do to help you understand what
is going on?

Lars,
You could create two config files and specify which one to use on the
command line (-config), one for Option "Composite" "Enable" and one for
not. man Xorg.

Lost hard drives
by JERRY WHITMIRE
Hi Jerry here again
I guess i needed to explain where i lost the hard drives it is not in the
boot up they were on Kde. and Gnome desktop. my Fedora 3 test 3 boots fine.
these drives are in the boot up grub config.file. I can boot to them from
there. Have did a fresh install and have mounted the drives and am trying to
get it updated again. That is the hard part.
Thanks to all of the people that help so for it is very helpful.
Is there away to get the lost hard drivers back to Kde. and Gnome desktop
after an upgrade of Fedora core 3 test 3 lost the drives again after update
?
Or can someone tell me where i can get the info to get them back on my
desktops Hard drive b has Windows Xp. on it and Hard drive c is used for
extra space where i store all of my downloads for Fedora and Windows. these
drives can be mounted from the Kde desktop and on the Gnome desktop. They
are both fat 32 so it will see them.
And to the last person that replayed to my email how can Fedora core 3 test
3 be obsolete when Fedora is a test to start with? We upgrade it and test it
to find the bugs and work through them and send them in right? I still say
YEA to the Fedora project.
THANKS AGAIN.

USb problem
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I have the DCU cable running from my laptop (running rawhide) to my Sony
Ericcson T610. I'm trying to connect to it using leif, but I don't know
which device to say to use.
According to /sbin/lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 10ab:10c5 USB Co., Ltd
In /dev (and /udev), there is nothing there for connecting to the USB
(such as /dev/ttyUSB0 etc). I have ohci, ehci and uhci_usb loaded
(though ohci was loaded a few minutes back).
What do I need to say for the connection device?
TTFN
