Catch-22 : wide monitor
by Beartooth
Last time a monitor bit the dust on me, the local shops were
already carrying wide ones all but exclusively, blast them -- such
dimensions were mythical beasts when even the newest of my machines were
built.
After much tedious labor and more bitter cursing, I got Fedora
*and* the monitor (HP w2207h) to agree to a compromise. Fedora treats it
as a 1680x1050 flat panel LCD, but with a choice to *use* it in 1280x1024
mode.
And all the machines in the house but two are cheerfully running
F10 that way -- all but two, my wife's and my main one. Those are the
ones I always upgrade last -- hers because she's writing whole books on
it, and I do elaborate multiple backups before any big change; and mine
because it has a second hard drive with XP installed. (I have yet to
manage to get any of my GPSs to talk with any of my proprietary topo map
software under wine or CXO.)
Today I decided to tackle my main machine. Anaconda launches --
but before it starts asking about language, keyboard, etc, I get the
dread "signal out of range; set to 1680x1050". But it has never ever yet
let me get to the normal means of resetting the display. All I can do is
hit the reset button, and start over.
I know there is some slick trick for getting around this, which
always seems adequate when I recall or reconstruct it; but I don't recall
now.
Clue, please, someone??

fedora 10 can't get past boot menu
by Don Raikes
Hello,
I have had fedora 10 running fine for several weeks.
Over the weekend, I noticed that there was an error message displayed on the console something about a general protection error.
Everything was locked up, so I performed a hard reboot of the system. Now The system gets to the grub boot menu, but at that point, I can't do anything. The keyboard does not respond at all.
The system is configured to boot to level 3 (console) because I am a blind user and prefer to use command-line as much as possible.
System configuration:
Gateway 7200X
4 gb ram
250 gb harddrive
ati radeon 9200 video card
usb keyboard
marvel gigabit network controller.
I would prefer not ot have to re-install if possible, but so far I have no way to get logged into the system.

Fedora-linux and openldap browser -phpldapadmin problem
by Jyotishmaan Ray
Dear All phpldapadmin users,
I am a newbie in Fedora Linux System.
Mistakenly the permissions were changed in my system by me.
Though, th permissions have been reset immediately, still I have some problems.
One such problem is related to my phpldapadmin browser files:
Now, before this activity, whenver I used to type http://localhost
I used to get my login page of phpldapadmin and then I used to log in successfully, as usually.
After this all the icons (tools) such as export, import used to appear on the right hand side of the phpldapadmin browser.
Now, it does nt shows up on the right hand
side after logging onto the opendla phpldapadmin browser, so I am having this problem.
I wish you to help me to resolve this problem as soon as possible.
Please let me know which phpldapadmin browser files I must check to resolve this problem.
As per my system the permission of the files are as given below:
[root@authdns /]# whereis phpldapadmin
phpldapadmin: /etc/phpldapadmin /usr/share/phpldapadmin
[root@authdns /]# cd /etc/phpldapadmin
[root@authdns phpldapadmin]# ls -l
total 72
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root apache 23962 2008-01-24 14:04 config.php
[root@authdns phpldapadmin]# ls -l
total 52
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root
apache 28 2007-12-26 12:17 config -> ../../../../etc/phpldapadmin
drwxr-xr-x 5 root apache 4096 2008-01-24 14:08 htdocs
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root apache 112 2007-12-26 16:25 index.php
drwxr-xr-x 2 root apache 4096 2007-12-26 12:17 lib
drwxr-xr-x 17 root apache 4096 2007-12-26 12:17 locale
drwxr-xr-x 3 root apache 4096 2007-12-26 12:17 templates
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root apache 23 2005-11-12 09:19 VERSION
Please let me are they all correct.
