Rhythm Box
by Andrew Jamison
I heard several people say that the developer for Rhythm Box has decided it
is not worth competing with Amarok and other media players anymore. If this
is true how will this affect Fedora? Will we simply adopt Amarok as the
default Gnome media solution or will we try and get someone to pick up the
development and take over the project?
I am not a coder so I can not help and while I am not sure if this is true
if it is I would like to see it still maintained.
Thanks,
Andrew Jamison

Possible xrandr issue on F11...
by Shannon McMackin
I'm running F11 on a Lenovo T61 with Intel GM965. In the past and on
other distros xrandr -q displays a whole list of available resolutions
and information. This time it only supplies 1 resolution. What this
does is I can't mirror my LCD or do any dual-head function. Here's what
I get from xrandr -q:
> [SMcMackin@localhost Desktop]$ xrandr -q
> Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 900, maximum 8192 x 8192
> VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
> LVDS1 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 304mm x 190mm
> 1440x900 60.1*+ 50.0
> DVI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
is this worthy of a bug?

booting from USB on old machine without USB boot support
by Fred Smith
I'm playing around with F11 pre-release, and wanted to install from the
DVD on an old PII I have here. trouble is I don't have a spare (working)
DVD drive, but I do have a USB DVD drive.
This machine is old enough it won't boot from the USB DVD, so I was
wondering if there is a way to make a bootable CD from the DVD, and
use that bootable CD as we used to use boot floppies, back in the day,
to boot the system far enough to allow access to the DVD and to then
run the installation from the DVD.
Anybody know?

hp pavillion laptop can't resume from suspend
by David Lam
Basically, pretty much everything worked out of the box, except that I have
a completely blank screen when resuming from sleep.... anyone have any
ideas on the steps to take to fix this?
I installed the Fedora 10 Unity re-spin rather recently and my kernel is
2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64
I tried following the discussion here
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=217274 and editing
/etc/acpi/events/video.conf, but I encountered some bizzare behavior after
doing that as following a reboot, my screen would lock up and I would be
forced to power off and power back on my computer... ( i think after hitting
the +/- brightness keys (?)) ...which then led to me sending an email to
the list

multi-media packages/gcc/latest CPU optimizations
by RS
Hi,
I'd like to understand how some of the multi-media packages are compiled
for distros to make maximum effective use of the latest CPU features
(SSE4,multi-core,large L2/L3 caches etc)
I understand pkgs are compiled assuming i386 (or i686?) to cover the
vast majority of PC's out there. For packages like
vlc,mplayer,dvd::rip,handbrake,thoggen (i.e multi-media related) are
there specific GCC/runtime optimizations that yield "real world"
performance. Let's keep gaming aside for a moment, I have a bunch of
PC's at home (Phenom II X4, Core 2 Quad and a new Core i7 that is being
built) that are mostly used for watching high def video, ripping and
encoding etc. I buy only NVIDIA cards for my linux boxes and the latest
180.60 linux driver does a pretty decent job (still not as good as the
WinXP or Vista versions though)
I'd like to avoid Gentoo for now. Folks have asked me to try Arch and
Slackware and build from a minimal base, but I still like Fedora for the
ease with which it handles my general computing requirements (flash,
latest OO.org pkgs, programming tools, latest firefox etc)
Thoughts/Comments/Flames welcome....
