xorg.conf
by James Harrison
Hello,
I am new to the list (I joined today).
Can someone tell me why Fedora 10 does not create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf as standard?
Thanks

TV tuner card in f10
by Endy
Hi all,
I've got a Sabrent SBTV/FM tuner card in my media box. In fedora 9 the
tuner card worked perfectly with the right tuner type module argument.
However, after upgrading to fedora 10, the tuner is no longer usable.
It is listed under lspci, but dmesg returns no relevant information
other than acknowledging that the module has been loaded, and there are
no /dev/video devices created. Manually creating them has no effect.
I'm stumped and tvtime reports that it can't use /dev/video0 (since it
doesn't exist). Any ideas?
Thanks,
Endy

GDM and powersave
by mike cloaked
On a system I have installed clean F10 the powersave kicks in on the monitor
just fine if set in the screensaver area in gnome for a logged in user.
However if the user logs out, then the screen blanks out after some period
as expected, but the monitor does not go into powersave any any point.
Can someone tell me where the settings are for the timings for these two
features of GDM? I presume that this is something that can be set somewhere?

automount of filesystem by label
by Tod Thomas
I have an external, USB connected, SATA drive divided into two
partitions with labels SATA1, SATA2. I'd like to set up autofs to
automount the drive when I plug it into the USB port and power it up.
In auto.master I have:
/mnt /etc/auto.misc --timeout 60
and in /etc/auto.misc I have:
sata1 -fstype=ext3 :SATA1
sata2 -fstype=ext3 :SATA2
I restarted autofs, no luck. Is there a way to automount my drive using
just the labels?
Thanks - Tod

suppress this?

Network Manager, Firefox and more on FC10
by David R. Wilson
Hello fellows,
My .02 worth on several subjects.
Network Manager since FC8 has been causing more grief to me than it is
worth. It looks like it needs to look at
the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ files for eth0 and if it is there
don't screw things up (or at least prompt before destruction).
The startup screen with the travelling bars near the bottom of the
screen is a waste of time. There is a reason I want to see what the box
is doing, and prefer the FC9 behavior. With FC9 I could hit a key and
watch for problems. I didn't find any documentation on how to change
that to the FC9 behavior.
Firefox refuses to handle a bad certificate. That is all well and good,
until your dealing with a firewall that doesn't have one that is valid.
I didn't find a way to get beyond the complaint about the certificate.
I had to grab my laptop with FC9 to deal with that problem. FC10 made
doing anything with the https interface impossible.

Xemacs over ssh tunnel question
by Jerry Feldman
My Desktop system at work is an HP Integrity (IA64) with Fedora 9 and a
GNOME desktop. Because I do a lot of compiling under xemacs, I ssh -X
to a RHEL 5.2 system to run xemacs. Under RHEL 4, everything worked
fine, but under RHEL 5.2 I am unable to click on any buttons on a dialog
box. Everything else works fine.
If I log into a RHEL 5.2 console through a KVM, things work fine. So,
the issue seems to be some combination of a Fedora 9 IA64 host running
xemacs through ssh and X forwarding through the tunnel.
One solution is that I could install RHEL 5.1 on the workstation, but I
would prefer Fedora. AFAIK, Fedora 10 is not yet available for IA64.
