no hardware acceleration?

I guess that the second means I don't have hardware aceleration.
What does the first one mean?

No mention of my geforce graphics card (GX5200LE 128 MB AGP).
Would this sort of thing cause mplayer and ffplay to freeze?
Each of them last a couple before seconds before freezing.
ffplay keeps a little over 1% of the cpu.
Don't remember about mplayer.
The card is not the same kind as the original.
A year or so ago, I destroyed the original installing a disk drive.
I've not deliberately done anything to edit
my graphics infrastructure since then.
I have installed Fedora 9 since then.

pulseaudio - WOW
by Mike Wright
Hi all,
I'd like to share a positive experience with sound on f10.
I'd had issues with the mute button not working (turns out it was, it
was just muting a different channel than the one I was listening to).
Once I learned about the different mixers and volume controls it has
"just worked" for me.
I'm listening to a CD right now and get a popup when each song begins
that shows the album cover, name and song title. Very nice surprise.
I enjoy international music so I've been using VLC to explore the
shoutcast feeds and once I find a keeper I add it to Rhythmbox. I tried
to play one of the stations and got another popup advising me that I was
missing a particular codec and would I like it to try to find it for me.
Feeling brave I agreed. That's when I had my WOW moment.
It went exploring and installed some files from a "bad" repository, some
others for dependencies. When all was said and done it had not only
installed the missing codec but also quicktime and midi software with
the midi "font" library.
A quick restart of Rhythmbox and everything just works. I can actually
listen to VLC, Rhythmbox, and the CD player, all at the same time. I
was actually listening to the same shoutcast on the two different
players, with a slight delay between them for a music in-the-round
experience. Fun stuff.
Having lived with marginal audio experiences on Linux for the last
decade or so this is nothing short of amazing.
Kudos to all involved. Great work.
For those of you still having problems I feel for you but be confident.
I have heard the future and it sounds great!

Package kit misses update of i586 package on x86_64 system but yum does not
by Richard Shaw
I not have had a situation where a Packagekit based update failed
during transaction testing because it attempted to update the x86_64
package but not the i586 package. When I do a yum update from the
terminal it downloads the additional packages Packagekit missed and
updates successfully.
Before I turn in a bug report, is there anything I'm missing?
Thanks,
Richard

Camera/F-spot problems
by Steve Blackwell
It's been a while and several versions of Fedora since I tried this
but F-spot used to start automatically when I plugged my camera in to
a USB port. Now it doesn't but I see the appropriate USB messages in the
system log that show the device is recognized correctly.
What does happen is that after a minute or so I see a camera icon appear
on the desktop and I can click on the icon and a Nautilus window opens
with a message at the top saying this media contains digital photos and
a button that says "Open F-spot Photo Manager". F-spot does not open
when I click on this button and there are no system messages.
I can open F-spot manually from the Applications menu but it does not
know that a camera is attached to the computer and I don't see a way to
tell it where to find the camera.
In the end this is just inconvenient because I can get to the picture
through the Nautilus window but does anyone else have similar problems
and/or any solutions?

keyboard becomes unresponsive, stops working
by Wendell Nichols
I have had two circumstances where my keyboard just stopped working.
Both the usb and main laptop keyboard stopped working. I was able to
ssh in and reboot it from another computer but that's not acceptable.
The mouse continued to work.
Anyone else see this?

Fedora 11 does display suspend work for you: CRT vs. LCD
by Tony Nelson
On Fedora 11, does your display suspend after the screensaver activates
(assuming that you have asked it to suspend)? If you know whether it
does or doesn't, please reply, and say whether your display is a CRT or
LCD. I'm trying to get more information before filing a bug.
(I did create a new test user and try from there, without success.)
I think that LCD / Laptop users mostly care about dimming / blanking
and not about suspending the display, but as a CRT user, I'd like to
save the power.
On Fedora 9, the screensaver (and gnome-power-manager) blanked my
screen and then put it in the low-power suspend mode. Fedora 11 dims
my screen, but does not put the display into suspend mode, so it still
draws full power. Diff'ing the code for F9 and F11, and viewing
output from `gnome-power-manager --verbose`, I see no way for the
current G-P-M to suspend the display, as the code that called DPMS to
do so has been removed. G-P-M seems oriented to LCD displays and
Laptops now, so this may not have been noticed.
