DPI in intel modesetting driver
by Leo 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Hi all, [A thread started by me in xorg mailing list on setting a 96x96 DPI: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg/14115] So far I haven't got any decent solution. Passing an argument to X or adding a 'Monitor' section in xorg.conf seems backwards. Thus I think it deserves to be fixed by autodetecting i.e. DPI should come out correctly by system-config-display. Could anyone run `xdpyinfo|grep resolution' to see if your DPI is set correctly? Since gnome will adjust it to 96x96, you won't see any difference no matter what value you get. But in other WMs, you will see the difference for example, the font size could appear to be too large or too small. Mine is: ,----[ xdpyinfo|grep resolution ] | resolution: 75x75 dots per inch `---- Thanks. -- Leo <sdl.web AT gmail.com> (GPG Key: 9283AA3F)

SCALE To Host Women in Open Source Mini Conference
by Gareth J. Greenaway 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Los Angeles, CA January 2, 2007 The Southern California Linux Expo announces plans to a 'Women In Open Source' Mini-conference. The goals of the conference are to encourage women to use technology and open source and free software, and to explore the obstacles that women face in breaking into the technology industry. The audience will be those women who may have an interest in technology, but hesitate to get into it because they believe it's a male-only club. The conference will be held in conjunction with the Fifth Annual So Cal Linux Expo, at the Westin LAX Hotel. The 'Women in Open Source' mini-conference will be held February 9th. If you are interested in speaking, there are still speaker slots available. Contact Gareth Greenaway (gareth(a)socallinuxexpo.com) with your talk proposal. About the Southern California Linux Expo: The Southern California Linux Expo is the premier grass roots Linux and Open Source Software conference in the United States. SCALE 5x, their fifth annual event, will be held on February 10th and 11th, 2007 at the Los Angeles Airport Westin hotel. SCALE will include seminars by leaders from the open source community, tutorials for beginners, and an exhibit hall with both vendor booths and non-commercial booths. Linux Expo of Southern California, Inc. is a non-profit organization whose members are currently comprised of, but not limited to, members of the SCLUG, USCLUG, and UCLALUGs.

musicpd
by Jarosław Górny 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Hi, sorry if the question should be sent somewhere else: Extras repository contains clients for musicpd (http://www.musicpd.org): mpc, ncmpc, gmpc, but ther daemon itself ('mpd') is not present (neither in Extras nor in Core). it there a particular reason for that? Without mpd this clients are rather unusable. -- Jaroslaw Gorny

In my oppinion, if a package cannot be supplied because of patent issues, it should not be supplied at all. Let someone else do it. Otherwise,it is very difficult for a person that is not using RedHat for a long time to be able to set up audio-video applications. A lot of pieces of code come from different places. Fedora uses Livna to supply parts of what cannot be given "officially". This is one of the main reasons distributions, such as Ubuntu, became so popular (it is so much easier ....) /Paulo Roma.

Move Evolution to Extras?
by David Woodhouse 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Evolution is fairly much broken in FC5, and there's little movement even on the 'this mail crashes Evolution' bugs, let alone the "Evolution is totally unusable with IMAP" bugs. What are we going to do about it? One option might be to move it to Extras in the hope that someone will actually start to look after it there. Or perhaps just drop it entirely? Any better ideas? Volunteers? -- dwmw2

[Offtopic] Rather amusing diagram on wikipedia
by Konstantin Ryabitsev 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

There's an "organizational" diagram on wikipedia that seems a little fishy to me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_Project . I'm not up to speed on the finer details of Fedora Project organizational chart, but I believe that diagram is a little... random, especially seeing as apparently the ultimate goal of everything Fedora Project does is RHEL releases. :) Maybe someone from the project who is familiar with the orgranization cares enough to update the page?

To NX or not to NX
by Ralf Ertzinger 02 Jan '07

02 Jan '07

Hi. Looking through dmesg on my laptop, I noticed the following: Using x86 segment limits to approximate NX protection While this is certainly nice, the processor is quite capable of real NX: $ grep nx /proc/cpuinfo flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx constant_tsc pni monitor vmx est tm2 xtpr flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx constant_tsc pni monitor vmx est tm2 xtpr Is there a reason this is not used? kernel is 2.6.19-1.2891, processor is a Intel Core Duo CPU L2400
