nVidia and ATi drivers in Fedora 2
by Antti Aspinen
Hello
I have two questions. First one is that will nVidia drivers work with
Fedora Core 2? And what about ATi drivers? I'd like to know because I
heard that normal X (Xfree86?)in Fedora is being replaced by some X.org
and I don't have any information about that all. So if some one can tell
if those drivers work (I hope for my friend that ATi will work and I
hope for my self that nVidia works too.) and explain this X.org
Thank you

RE: Installation of FCT2: GRUB interactive on 1stinstallandGRUBhangs on 2nd install
by Dan Thurman
Hi,
If fdisk /MBR clears the boot sector does that mean it works? I will
reformat the drive and see if it boots DOS? Will that prove anything?
Additionally, I can also try to see if RH9 installs...

Personally, it sounds like the first few sectors of your drive are bad.
Hoow old is your spindle?

DHCP and the firewall
by Craig Emery
Are there any issues with using DHCP and the firewall?
Do I have to allow traffic of a certain kind in?
Do I have to make this change using system-config-security?
I've got the firewall enabled, but when I try and raise the appropriate
interface, I get a timeout. I'm just wondering if the DHCP reply is
being filtered.
On a side: Is there a log that'll let me know that the packets were
being dropped?
Where are the docs on how the firewall is configured?
TIA
Craig.

Ethereal Crash
by Essam Mohsin
Hi :
I run Fedora Core2 Test3 on a PC " Intel PIV 1.GHz , 512 MB RAM , IDE HDD 10GB , nVidia Riva TNT2 VGA , 3Com 3C905 Network Card " . when I try to run Ethereal 0.10.3 and tick on the "Enable network name resolution" on the "Capture Options" , it will run for few seconds then it will stop scrolling the view of packets , then part of the display is blanked to white color , when I try to close it from the cross at the top of the screen it will take 5 minutes with no response then an error message will popup telling that " Window with the title " The Ethereal Network Analyzer" is not responding this window belong to the application ethereal (PID=xxxx , hostname=localhost) . Do you wish to terminate the app ...... "
Please note that I use my ISP DNS server IP to resolve the addresses of internet hosts , and I don't have local DNS server on my network . And Ethereal works fine when this option is not selected .
Thanks

FC2T2 - epiphany install
by Will H. Backman
epiphany was not installed with FC2T2 Desktop install, so I installed it
today using up2date epiphany. epiphany-1.1.12-0
It was not added to my red hat menu, at least not anywhere obvious.
Also, when I launched it from the command line "epiphany", it started as
a blank window that in no way looked like a normal browser.
There was no toolbar or status bar. Just a white window with the
pull-down menus.
Anyone else see this?

Problems with ATI RADEON 9000 Pro Mobility on my notebook
by Alessandro Torrisi
My hardware:
Notebook AMD64 3000+ Mhz
ATI Radeon 9000 Pro Mobility
512 MB DDR RAM
I configure X (xorg) with VESA driver and everything is OK, but very slow.
When I try to configure it with RADEON driver I can see output only on the
second output !!!
If I send a CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to terminate X I cannot see anything on the
LDC and on the second monitor, the only thing I can do is "WRITE reboot
WITHOUT SEE WHAT I'M WRITING!!!"
Why ??? Please help me with my configuration !!!
