FC14 Installation Hangs
by Ashley M. Kirchner
Type in 'waiting for hardware to initialize' into Google and you
get a lovely list of some 452,000 results. I'm one of those. I admit,
this is an older hardware (think 5-8 years) however at the same time, it
was running RH7.3 this whole time with no problems, and I'm able to put
a Windows OS on it still, again, with no problems. So, why is it when I
try to load FC14 on it, it gets stuck at the 'waiting for hardware to
initialize' line? I've tried all sorts of boot parameters with no
luck. My latest iteration was:
ide=nodma noapic acpi=off
Still, no luck. And while I DO get a response if I add 'noprobe',
that also leaves me with absolutely no drivers loaded, both for network
as well as what bus is on the motherboard. While I can solve the
network one by simply loading the correct driver, I don't know what to
pick to load up the motherboard appropriate drivers so I can get the
IDE/PCI/Video and what not to work.
I've tried
FC14 netinst.iso
FC14 DVD install
FC14 LIVE DVD
All gave me the same thing.
So I jumped ship and tried CentOS. Lo and behold, that works with
no problems! Sooo, one wonders, why can't I install FC14? Why does it
lock up?
Moving forward, since the CentOS install disk boots up just fine
and I'm able to actually install it, is there something I can gleam from
this that might help in getting FC14 to work? Particular drivers
perhaps? Anything?

My wireless connection quit. (F14/ 2.6.35/ Intel 4965 )

I am trying to set it up both with and without a network manager. Network
manager never has worked properly for me (in KDE). When setting it up
manually, I am using managed mode and specifying the network ID.
Any ideas ? What has changed recently with regards to wireless ?
Thanks !

device naming (mentioned in Fedora Weekly News 259)

Interesting how someone, or some people, have seen the sense in making
network device names more obvious as to what they refer to, rather than
everything being generic eth0, etc. Yet, years ago, (probably) other
people though it was a good idea to remove those details from hard drive
device naming, and make everything appear to be a SCSI drive, causing
identification of multiple drives to become more difficult. Hmm...
Personally, I want ide, scsi, usb, firewire, sata, et cetera, device
naming. A system could always symlink the first one to sda, for
one-disc-only systems, so such owners can simply /dev/sda and not have
to care. But for people with multiple-media systems, having everything
on pseudo-scsi is a nuisance. How say you?

They use command line'of course!
CLI FOREVER ! :)
That was DOS. The Amiga had a very advanced (for its day) graphic interface a couple years before MS introduced Windows 1.0. I rarely needed to use the Amiga CLI.
FWIW, today, there is a Linux window manager, AmiWM, that gives Linux the look of the classic AmigaOS 3.x Workbench for those die hard Amiga groupies. Of which, I'm not one. Got rid of all my Amiga stuff 10 years ago.

XI2 progress in F14! Any further hint on usage?
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
from test plan section inside features page of Fedora 12:
"Verify that the cursors work independently. If both master devices
are used in two different applications, they should work independently
and simultaneously.
If both devices are used in the same application, some restrictions apply. "
The above is the test plan to verify multiple input devices work with
legacy applications.
To develop new XI2-capable applications, please see the XI2 man pages
and the example programs below in #Documentation.
"
And in User experience section:
"XI2 has no effect on the traditional desktop interface. Only
applications that make use of the new APIs gain benefits.
Users who explicitly create additional master devices (e.g. using the
xinput tool) may be able to use their traditional desktop in a
multi-user fashion to a limited extent.
"
And indeed it worked like this at F12 time... but without being able
to do much practically.
No other particular references in F13,F14 features pages...
Now just installed F14 to see if any progress.
The independent pointer functionality is here again, and I would like
to do a "simple" test where :
- I have my laptop monitor and an external monitor connected.
- I use my trackpad and laptop keyboard to manage a window inside laptop monitor
- Another user manage another window in external monitor, after
connecting additional 1 usb mouse and 1 usb keyboard
(ideal would be to have one user working in laptop monitor area with
its input devices; another using external monitor area with the
external input devices)
$ xinput create-master zenmouse
$ xinput reattach 20 16 --> external usb mouse
$ xinput reattach 11 17 --\ external mac keyboard
$ xinput reattach 21 17 --/
So after reattaching these two input devices to the newly create
master named "zenmouse":
[gcecchi ~]$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Broadcom Corp id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Broadcom Corp id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Laptop Integrated Webcam id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=15 [slave keyboard (3)]
⎡ zenmouse pointer id=16 [master pointer (17)]
⎜ ↳ zenmouse XTEST pointer id=18 [slave pointer (16)]
⎜ ↳ USB Optical Mouse id=20 [slave pointer (16)]
⎣ zenmouse keyboard id=17 [master keyboard (16)]
↳ zenmouse XTEST keyboard id=19 [slave keyboard (17)]
↳ Mitsumi Electric Apple Extended USB Keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (17)]
↳ Mitsumi Electric Apple Extended USB Keyboard id=21 [slave keyboard (17)]
I noticed this:
- click with zenmouse pointer on the top window title bar (external
monitor) to make it active: I can use the corresponding keyboard
and at the same time
- click with touchpad on the bottom window title bar (laptop monitor)
to make it active: I can use the laptop keyboard in this window, while
I'm using the other one
cool!
Some unwanted behaviours, just in these first tests:
- unable to move at the same time the two windows (one in laptop
monitor, the other on external one), each one with one different
pointer
- strange things when input areas intersects....
Questions:
- Can I force one pair of keyboard+mouse to be able to move only
inside a subregion of my display and the other one in another region
(without intersection)
In particular one pair confined inside the external monitor and the
other one inside the laptop monitor?
BTW: at this time I have configured the two monitors as one big
(1280x800+1280x1024 one above the other) using Nvida TwinView
fucntionality, but I can change it if necessary for better XI2/MPX
configuration....
Is there any additional non-default configuration in gnome (2.32 in my
case) and/or metacity to enhance XI2/MPX experience?
Any additional fedora docs?
Thanks for any (multi)-input....
