Re: Netgear WG511 Wireless card with Marvell chip
by Jaap Hoetmer
Dan, thanks. Mine's made in China...
I have tested the DriverLoader wrapper, and that seems
to work, so I guess it should still be possible to get
it to work using Ndiswrapper.
I take it from your answer that FC4 will not natively
support these cards?
Thanks,
Jaap

Is this a Mediacheck issue OR the famous 'linux ide=nodma ' problem?
Anton while booting up for install give the above linux ide=nodma
command and then check.
If you find the media check running okay, then report your CD-Drive make

[Fwd: [Bug 154763] Grub is inadequate without Lilo for backup]
by Mike Bird
Despite numerous complaints about the inadequacy of Grub, Redhat closed
this tracking item - falsely claiming that nothing can be done.
It would be trivial to restore Lilo to FC4. The only thing standing in
the way is Redhat's arrogance.

new apmd rpm has no libapm component
by Robert P. J. Day
the new development apmd-3.2.2-3 doesn't contain the libapm
components present in apmd-3.2.2-2, which causes an update dependency

It's a bug?, It's something I'm doing wrong?. I usually work the eclipse
download from the eclipse website and JDK from sun. But I'v removed all
the stuff related with eclipse and with java before I try to install the

Wanda is broken

Wanda "the fish" applet for the panel appears to be unable to

fortune. Was it removed or should we just remove Wanda from FC4?

Fedora Core 4 test3 freeze warning
by Elliot Lee
Fedora Core 4 test3 is set to freeze in a week. That's April 27. By then
all the broken dependencies need to be fixed, bugs fixed, etc. On the
installer side, upgrades are supposed to work! :-)
This is the last test release of the FC4 cycle so please make sure to put
as much effort as possible into finding and reporting bugs, doing test
installs/upgrades, etc.
Best,

Re: MSI-NX6600 // Nvidia graphics card
by Bob Gill
OK. 1. This is probably not the best place to talk about Nvidia graphics
(Nvidia's linux user site is probably a better place.
2. Make sure you are running the kernel where you want to install the
Nvidia binary driver. If you try to install it on another kernel, then
boot into the one you want, either the driver won't find the correct
source files, or (if you just compiled the kernel) you will get a huge
amount of permissions errors (every application will only want to run as
root).
3. To install a 71.67 nvidia driver on a running system, you first need
to kill the X server. To do that open /etc/inittab and find a line
(probably the very last one in the file) that looks like this:
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
and comment it out (so that it looks like this)
#x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
save the file. Then run
/sbin/init q
(your x window will die, you won't have to kill it)
now comes the part where you load the nvidia driver. Remember before
you start the driver installation, for the 71.67 driver you have to run
/sbin/modprobe -q agpgart
(nvidia promises they will write a wrapper for the next driver that does
it automatically).
Now start the driver installation.
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7167-pkg1.run
when it's finished, you will want to start the x server. Before you
start it though, you will have to make sure that your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file is correct for your nvidia binary driver. There are instructions
over at http://www.gmpf.de/index.php/Main_Page which give you more
information.
There are also instructions for getting GLX based applications to work.
When you have a correct /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, you can restart the x
server by un-commenting the line in /etc/inittab so that it looks like
this:
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
and then run /sbin/init q
(your x server will start and give you a graphical login prompt).
Be sure to backup your nvidia /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (make a backup
file called xorg.conf.nvidia for example). The biggest reason for this
is that if the nvidia driver ever doesn't want to start (for whatever
reason), when your system boots, it will attempt to start the x server
using a generic nvidia (2D) driver. If it's successful, it will
overwrite xorg.conf (and all your changes for the nvidia driver will be
lost).
Cheers!
