Apple wireless BT keyboard: how to enable those special keys?
by Jurgen Kramer
The Apple bluetooth keyboard works just beautifully with Fedora and the
hidd daemon. Most keys work but unfortunately some of the special keys
don't even seem to emit a key code (tested with xev).
The keys F13-F16 and Volume up, Volume down, mute and eject do not work.
I modified the XkbModel in xorg.conf to "power_g5" and tried xmodmap as
suggested on the net but no go.
Any idea how can I enable those extra keys?
Thanks,
Jurgen

software raid drive failed, please provide step bu step to rebuild
by Dan Carl
I have/had a software raid running and sdc drive failed.
I got a replacement drive today and installed it.
My only experience with set partitions and raids in during initail setup.
I could not fdisk the new drive because i guess it wasn't reconized so I
rebooted.
Now I can reach the drive via fdisk but I have made more problems now (no
swap now)
and I'm not sure the steps to rebuild.
Background:
I have a FC3 with a software raid.
I have 3 SCSI 18gb hard drives
If I recall this how I set it up
md0 /boot 100MB raid 1 sda, sdb and sdc as spare
md1 /swp 768MB raid 0 sda, sdb, sdc
md2 / ext3 33GB raid 5 sda, sdb, sdc
Can someone please help?

I get that when i $yum update. Maybe I'm thinking wrong but if yum
update won't work then I won't be able to update everything and/or
anything that is remotely related to whatever has the missing dep.
Correct?

Firefox closes without warning
by Deepak
Hi,
I am trying to visit this site:
http://www.dluxproductions.com/webcandy/
but before page loads, firefox closes without any notice. I can visit
this site from windows (firefox). I have latest firefox 1.5.04 & flash
installed and working perfectly with other flashed based sites. Is
there something wrong with fedora version or missing plugin?
Thanks

KMix volume sliders
by Ashley M. Kirchner
I have an Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 in my system running FC5.
In KMix, everything seems to fall under the PCM (and Master) volume
sliders. How can I fix it so that when I'm playing MIDI files it routes
through the correct volume slider (whichever that might be) and when I'm
playing MP3, it goes through the PCM one?
Looking at all the KMix channels available to me, I have:
Wave Center, Wave LFE, Wave Surround, Master, Headphone, Bass, Treble
(which incidentally don't do anything either one), 3D Control Sigmatel -
Depth, PCM, Center, LFE, PC Speaker, and AC97. Under the Input tab
there's a whole slew of sliders, and under Switches tab there are a few
more.
Everything seems to get routed through the PCM channel and I can
control volume using that slider and the Master volume slider. When I
used this card under WinXP, I was able to get MIDI through the MIDI
channel (or Synth), MP3/Wave through a separate one, and the PC speaker
through a different one, so I could individually control each one. Is
this possible under unix?

udev: BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, udevd/447 (Tainted:P )
by Antonio Olivares
Dear List Users,
I have successfully installed Fedora 5 on a
shuttleX machine, AMD 2700 XP processor. I updated to
kernel-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 and everything was working
beautifully and then all of a sudden the machine
froze. Could not CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE, could not
shutdown. I was surfing the net and this happened. I
decided to reset. When I reset the machine it gave me
the message
Starting
udev: BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, udevd/447
(Tainted:P )
lock: c06e07d4, .magic: c06eo7d4, .owner:{weird
symbol goes here} ...
Bug: spinlock lockup on CPU#0, udev/447 cobeo7d4
(Tainted: P).
It stayed there leaving me no choice but to press and
hold the power button till it shutdown. I let it stay
off for a little and I turned it back on and it let me
through with no error message as the previous one.
What does this error mean?
Is the CPU dying little by little?
Thanks for your valuable time,
Antonio
