No. The system is an HP laptop (zv6015) that has no PS/2 port.
I got the system up and running with a USB mouse and then discovered
that I could get the Synaptics Touchpad working by compiling the kernel
with psmouse as a module and automating the module load/unload in
rc.local. On a clean boot with say the stock 1319 kernel, the touchpad
is dead but the same kernel recompiled with psmouse as a module works
fine.
I haven't tried the possible combinations and permutations of having/no
having a USB mouse plugged in at boot. Also, I see the same behavior
with gpm before starting X. The mouse is defined in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"

Azureus and the java-compat library
by Oldman
Good morning list:
I have just completed the download and install of the rawhide
updates, which included the java-compat library required by Open
Office. Until now I have been using the j2re 1.5.0 and had noticed no
problems with Open Office. As soon as I had rebooted to use the newest
kernel, I started up Azureus and it wouldn't start. I noticed that it
had started the 1.4.2 java environment (assume this must be the
compat-lib). anyway the error message is:
StartSocket: passing startup args to already-running Azureus java process.
/usr/azureus/azureus: line 91: 3450 Aborted
${JAVA_PROGRAM_DIR}java -cp ${CLASSPATH}
-Djava.library.path="${PROGRAM_DIR}" org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main "$@"
Azureus TERMINATED.
Any ideas? most obvious is to remove java library, or figure out how to
make azureus use the j2re instead of the lib, bu I've no idea how to do
that.
Thanks,
Scott

X server problem
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
For some reason, the X server on my wife's box is looking for a version
of the kernel which is not on there to load modules from. It's been
updated from FC2 to FC4t3 and currently, the kernel installed is from a
few days back while X is looking for the one which came on the CD. I
can't install from the CD the correct kernel as rpm is unhappy and
giving db3/4 issues
What do I need to change and where is it so that points to the version I
have installed on there?
TTFN
Paul
P.S. Sorry if this looks familiar, no email for days :-(

A little help resolving dependencies please

I have a few depend errors this morning that seem to have been around
for a while. How do I work around these, i.e. what should I exclude or
remove to update fully?

Thanks to all those who participated in firefox discussion.
by akonstam@trinity.edu
I appreciated all the information I got on firefox from the recent
posts. I was wrong you can set the Download directory to ones home
directory but I still say the interface to do this is too kludgey.
But that's life.

Xen and rebooting
by Tony Jones
I've been having this issue since I installed FC4. I was hoping a couple of
yum upgrades would have fixed it but nope :(
Still having the issue with 2.6.11-1.1319_FC4.
Whenever I reboot a domain it stops at "Restarting system".
It'll sit there until in another window I do an 'xm list' at which
point the domain will reboot, almost like xend is waiting for xm to reap
some info.
I have restart set to onreboot.
Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Fedora Core 3 Test Update: boost-1.32.0-6.fc3
by Benjamin De Kosnik

Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-396
2005-05-26
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : boost
Version : 1.32.0
Release : 6.fc3
Summary : The Boost C++ Libraries
Description :
Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. The
emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard
Library. One goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide
reference implementations so that the Boost libraries are suitable for
eventual standardization. (Some of the libraries have already been
proposed for inclusion in the C++ Standards Committee's upcoming C++
Standard Library Technical Report.)

Update Information:
This is a bug fix release.

- (#152205: development .so symlinks should be in -devel subpackage)
- (#154783: linker .so symlinks missing from boost-devel package)
