FC4, synaptics and ps mouse
by William John Murray
Hello there,
I have a laptop with synaptics touchpad and ps mouse.
These work very well together, allowing fancy tapping with the synaptics
and scrolling using the ps mouse wheel, but ONLY after adding the
grub boot line:
psmouse.resetafter=3
This took quite a lot of googling to find, and I wonder if there
is a reason this behaviour could not be default? Laptop convenience
is something FC4 should aim for, in my opinion...

Getting SPRING Multi-Card media reader working under Fedora
by Dwaine Garden
I have a six-in-one media reader. The first slot works fine in
Fedora. I did read that some devices need probing of the scsi lun's.
There was some information that needed to be provided to get the fedora
team to make the necessary changes, so the device could work without
enabling probing of LUN's in the kernel.
I have the Spring-Rev1.1 Multi 6-in-one media reader. I would like to
get the device to work with different storage media. Could someone
let me know what information is required. I then get the information
and open up a bugzilla report on it.
Dwaine.

Yum excluding openoffice from update
by Dwaine Garden
I'm trying to exclude openoffice from the yum download. I can not
figure it out. What the exclude parameter to proceed with the update.
I tried this. But it did not work.
yum --exclude=openoffice.org-libs update
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: libdb_cxx-4.2.so for package: openoffice.org-libs
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: missing dep: libdb_cxx-4.2.so for pkg openoffice.org-libs
Thanks.

utmpx/wtmpx
by Sean Bruno
Does anyone know how to debug login record issues or who to talk to
about login record issues? I am experiencing a weird issue described in
bugzilla 140297 and I would like to debug it myself, but I don't seem to
be able to find anyone to assist me with it.

kernel module support for sk98lin and FC3
by RaXeT
Apparently the latest driver update from SysKonnect for the Marvell
Yukon net driver will work in the stock kernel 2.6.9, didn't try the
source for 681 from FC3 though.

Fedora Core 3 Test Update: prelink-0.3.3-0.fc3
by Jakub Jelinek
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-458
2004-11-23
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : prelink
Version : 0.3.3
Release : 0.fc3
Summary : An ELF prelinking utility
Description :
The prelink package contains a utility which modifies ELF shared libraries
and executables, so that far less relocations need to be resolved at runtime
and thus programs come up faster.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
I believe this should fix the problems people are seeing with eggcups
or gnome-volume-manager. For testing I'd especially appreciate testers
updating to this prelink right after FC3 install, prelink at that point
(either by manually running /etc/cron.daily/prelink or waiting a day)
and only afterwards up2dating other packages and re-prelinking again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* Tue Nov 23 2004 Jakub Jelinek <jakub(a)redhat.com> 0.3.3-0.fc3
- if layout code needs to re-prelink some library, make sure
all libraries that depend on it are re-prelinked too (#140081)
- add several more checks before deciding it is ok to prelink a binary
(even if another bug like #140081 was in, these checks should hopefully
catch it and refuse to (re-)prelink the binary)
- added new PRELINK_NONRPM_CHECK_INTERVAL variable to /etc/prelink,
defaulting to 7 days. Prelink nightly job will not do anything
if that interval has not elapsed since last prelinking and
and the rpm database has not been modified since that prelinking.
This is useful if you rely on rpm/up2date/yum/apt-rpm for library
and binary updates. If you combine it with other means (installs
from source, tarballs etc.), you probably want to
set PRELINK_NONRPM_CHECK_INTERVAL=0.
- update prelink man page (#126468)

launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. You may
need to edit your up2date channels configuration. Within
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources enable the following line:

Needed Advice
by Joel Juliano
I know this is not the place to ask questions like this, but I just
trust more people here than other forums, and I believe people here
are more experienced as well.
My Question is:
- How do you save money?
I have a very terrible way of managing my personal finance, after
recieving salary, within a few days I'm back to broke, I'm a 22 yrs.
old technical consultant (single), and I'm really have this problem,
if someone would give me advice, I'll print it, and I'll laminate it,
and put it in front of my desk, and doors, because I really need it,
and I'll give you Gmail accounts. ^_^
