nvidia problem
by Gary Waters
I recently switched from my old CRT screen to a nice 19" LCD. I am using
the proprietary nvidia driver downloaded from the nvidia site and not
the kmod driver.(NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run).
Whenever I set the resolution above 1024 X 768 and save to the config
file, it does not retain the higher resolution and automatically
defaults back to 1024x768 after each reboot. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

about displays/screens
by Antonio M
I am confused...
Yesterday I got a new LCD display as replacement of a Philps 107 E CRT
display...
When I restarted tha machine, I got the old resolution, so I tried to
change it witg system-config-display, I entered a generic LCD
(1360x768) display as my Acer was not on the list, I logged out and I
logged in but in system-config-display I still get my olp Philips with
a maximum resolution of 1280x1024!!!.
This is my xorg.conf file

Hi;
try renaming the xorg.conf file to xorg.conf.old
(mv /etc/xorg.conf /etc/xorg.conf.old)
Then restart x.
I beleive that the file is not needed, unless you are doing something specific.

create directory - gtk apps on F10
by Chris Rouch
Using GTK based apps on F10 - e.g. firefox, gimp etc - when i save a
file and click the "Create Directory" button, the directory is
created, but the working directory does not change to it. On F9 and
earlier the working directory used to change as well. Is it possible
to get the old behaviour back?

make USB pendrive bootable again
by "Germán A. Racca"
Hi all there:
I have used 'liveusb-creator' to install Fedora 11 in my USB pendrive.
Then I formatted it this way: 'mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdb1'. Then I
installed F11 again with the same tool, but now I get the following
message when I reboot: 'Invalid or damaged Bootable partition'. I need
some help to work around this issue, please.
Thanks in advance,
Germán.

I went ahead and installed F11 on the new sata drive:
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders

/dev/sdb6 72872 121601 391423693+ 83 Linux
It installed fine (thanks developers!! very nice).
I formatted /dev/sdb3 as ext4, the others ext3.
sdb5 and sdb6 are empty ext3, I may delete them and just go sdb5 ext4.
The sata problem with xp refers to the install, it needs drivers.
However under VirtualBox it works just fine.
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa Virt*
VirtualBox-3.0.0_49315_fedora11-1.x86_64
I got lucky in that VirtualBox had just gone to 3.0.
I used an expanding drive up to 10G (all defaults).
I had to "rescue" the system after I removed the IDE drive.
Then edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to get F10 working.
So far ext4 is transparent, no programs flake or die because of it.
The only problem was very slow firefox dns, solved in about:config.
(thanks to Tim Largy on this list)
I followed the MJM guide for F11 for multimedia and am very happy.
Plus I have another IDE drive to stick in my old Snap server 4100.
I dont like the LVM stuff, rescue cd's fail with it.
As far as swap goes - this is a 1000G drive! 2xram (I hope to get 4G total) seems standard.

How and when do updates of apps get into repos?
by DB
Hi all,
A question that has scratched at my grey cell for a time.....
There are apps in repos & there are more recent versions on their home
pages or in Source Forge - how and when do the updated versions get
incorporated into the repos?
And the other side of the same question.... If I install/build/compile
or whatever one of these updated versions into my F10, will yum & co be
able to keep tabs on it or must I keep a running watch on the page I got
it from?
And.... if I find an RPM on a non-Fedora site, what are likely/possible
side-effect consequences of installing it??
Thanks

Mappery : uncertain success with Fedora/Wine/Garmin
by Beartooth
Followups set to gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general
I'm presently running four PCs, two thinkpad laptops (a T30 and a
T42), and an EeePC (which doesn't come into this). Everything but my #1 PC
is running Fedora 11, and all of them have some version of Garmin
Mapsource MetroGuide and TopoUSA2008. Most of them also have DeLorme
TopoUSA6, Maptech's Appalachian Trail suite, or both.
On one laptop, the software not only doesn't launch, but crashes the
whole machine -- after which I have to wait a surprisingly long time
before I can reboot.
On all the others, the Garmin software (but not the DeLorme) does
launch and run. Iirc, on the other laptop it does also talk to my GPSs; it
does not talk to them (nor even see them, alas!) on any of the three F11
PCs -- that's why #1 is still running F10 instead of F11. #1 (only) also
has a second hard drive, on which XPProSP2 is installed -- native OS for
all the mapware suites. (I have another suite from Topo.com, sold by
National Geographic, which I haven't tried lately.)
My installs/upgrades of F11 have been partly with media and partly
with the new preupgrade command; both have sometimes bollixed things so
badly that I eventually had to do a clean install; the preupgrade has also
gone smoothly a couple of times.
The Fedora repositories now contain six or eight apps for Garmin, and
more (with a lot of overlap) for GPSs in general; I have tried to install
all of both on all machines. I don't know why the other three PCs can't
see the GPSs.
If I find the reason and get them to do it soon, I'll upgrade all of
PC #1 to F11, and have a house free of M$h!t again. If not, I'll try to
preserve XP on its drive for another round...
Anybody have a guess -- or a way to find out -- why the same
software connects to the same GPSs on two machines, but not on four
others??

Audio CD's are not to be mounted as they don't have a filesystem on them "unless they are also mixed cds with video on them", then I understand your point. Usually I see the same messages when I pop in a DVD, however you might be given a choice to play it with Rythmbox if you are running GNOME or I don't know the KDE default here?
