adjusting mouse in FC 8
by tns1
FC8, compaq laptop,
If I adjust the mouse sensivity from the desktop, it affects the
touchpad but not the mouse. The mouse is a bit too jumpy.

Flash for amd64
by Mike Chambers
Ok, so flash will not work *at all* with 64bit firefox? And if I want
to enable/use it, I have to install it, along with the firefox-i386
version adn use *that* one when I want flash?
Does anyone know if they are going to develop it for 64 bit any time
soon?

Screen not found after installing video drivers
by Guillermo Bustamante
Hellow everybody,
I was interested on installing the drivers of the nvidia GeForce4 MX 4000
video card of my PC so I Typed the next commands:
$sudo rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
$sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna
$sudo yum -y update
$sudo yum install kmod-nvidia
$sudo nvidia-settings
To configure the system I could have written,
$ sudo yum install kmod-nvidia livna-config-display,
but I prefered the first one. The drivers were (apparently) installed
correctly but once rebooted, the X Window system did not
start, not even by typing
$ startx
Instead it says,
(EE) No devices detected
Fatal server error:
no screens found
Does anybody know how to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance

Cups doesn't end print jobs.
by John Thompson
I'm running Fedora8 x86-64 with cups-1.3.6-2fc8 and print to an Epson
C88 printer attached to an EpsonNet print server. Other machines on my
home network (Vista, slackware, FreeBSD) can print just fine with this
setup, but for some reason on the Fedora8 machine print jobs are never
removed from the queue after the print job completes. The job just sits
there as "active" (even though the entire document has printed), and
blocks subsequent print jobs until I manually "lprm" the job. Then the
next job prints, and again sits there until I lprm that job, and so on.
Cups is configured identically on my slackware machine but on that
machine the jobs are removed properly.
What should I be looking for to fix this?

Re: PCI BIOS bug
by Lorenzo Ferrajoli
This may be a misunderstanding: I did not mean that I KNOW how the
problem was fixed by Fedora team, sure they know what they do and I
don't have the necessary knowledge to understand everything they do.
What I wanted to explain is that the BIOS bug appears when you need
(for some reason) to recompile a new kernel (for example I have to do
this in order to install RTAI). I did that because it seems that many
people on the net are wondering why this problem appears.

PCI BIOS bug
by Lorenzo Ferrajoli
As I understood the problem was "fixed" by Fedora (I use FC8 on an
ASUS MB) adding to the fc8-patched-kernel configuration the following
entry:
CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG_OFF_BY_DEFAULT=y
so when you try to copy fc8 configuration file to a vanilla
kernel .config (I tried a 2.6.23.1 vanilla kernel) this parameter is
not recognized: you can make your new kernel, but, if you set ANY in
PCI configuration, you'll have the message:
PCI: BIOS Bug: MCFG area at e0000000 is not E820-reserved
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.
I suppose that if you set DIRECT (as you can see in a previous
message on this thread) you can get rid of that bios bug message.
Moreover I read that updating the bios had not positive effect but
I'm not yet sure of that.
