New ATI driver 3.12 and xorg 6.8.0

tarball's. I cannot get 3D to work with the ATI 3.12 driver released
yesterday.
Another observation, 6.8.0 is friggin slooooowwwwwwwwwww.

HELP! I have no sound on my machine!
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
My computer has gone completely silent and it's *very* annoying!
gnome-volumecontrol says that there are no sound or mixers on the
machine
system-config-soundcard is giving me python errors
When I've run /sbin/fixfiles relabel it is coming back with the
following files being missing (all in /udev)
audio, dsp, fd0, loop0 - loop7, mixer
If I run without selinux enabled, dsp is symlinked to /udev/audio/dsp,
but still no sound
In /etc/modprobe.conf the sound card appears
If I run /sbin/lsmod I can see all of the sound modules have been loaded
Now the fun part. If xmms runs, I'm not getting any error at all to say
the soundcard has been blocked or not there.
Anyone got any ideas on what can be causing the problem or if there is a
config file anywhere which I can alter to get some noise going (manually
set the volume controls sort of thing).
I have both an intel8x0 onboard sound and Soundblaster Audigy card (set
as the primary sound device) on this box.
TTFN

Hi,
Just another little one. dev-3.12-1 doesn't seem to be installable. All
I get when I try to install it is that mounted devfs detected.
I am getting the same behaviour:

ImageMagick display not starting
by Ken Solomon
Hi all,
After upgrading to ImageMagick-6.0.6.2-2, the "display" program would
not start for the first time until I manually created the directory and
file - "$HOME/.magick/magic.mgk". Just wondering if this is a bug?

Switching off selinux once a machine has booted
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I'm trying to find why I don't have /udev/dsp, /udev/fd0, /udev/loop0 -
loop7 & /udev/audio showing up as it's a bit too quiet here without xmms
playing.
When I try to access the files, even as root I get an error of
permission denied.
Is there anyway of switching off selinux to try and see what's gone
wrong on my system or is this more likely to be a udev problem which
needs bunging into bugzilla?

Error switching between graphical and text logins
by Mike Klinke
I need some help in order to determine where the fault is here;
Kernel, Xorg, gmd, or .... Is this unique to my computer or are
others seeing this too?
========= Problem ===============
Logging into init level 5 graphical login screen,
open up a terminal session,
press:
<CTRL><ALT><F1>
init level 3 login screen is displayed
press:
<CTRL><ALT><F7>
Instead of being taken back to the terminal session I left, I am
presented with a new init level 5 graphical login screen. This is
recorded in /var/log/messages:
gpm[2841]: *** info [mice.c(1766)]:

SELinux and the kernel - is this right?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I'm running /sbin/fixfiles relabel.
At the moment, it's going through the /lib/modules directories and I'm
getting the likes of this from the relabel
/usr/sbin/setfiles: conflicting specifications
for /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.541smp/build/sound/synth/emux/Makefile
and /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.541/build/sound/synth/emux/Makefile, using
system_u:object_r:src_t
(there are lots of these appearing)
Also, should I be worried (and can this be the reason why I currently
have no sound) that setfiles is unable to stat the following files (all
begin with /udev/) - mixer, fd0, dsp, audio, loop1, loop5, loop6. loop4,
loop0, loop2, loop7, loop3. I have udev-030-23 installed. dev-3.9.2-1 is
also installed.

latest update to FC3-test1 hoses the system
by Nave, Ronald
I just finished updating my system this morning and now find that modprobe
generates a segmentation fault when I boot up
As a result I can not load drivers for CD rom , floppy disk , ethernet card
, or USB memory sticks .
The system boots up , but there is no way to load new files onto the system
to undo the mess I have gotten into.
It looks like I may have to reformat and start over.
