NVIDIA Question
by David St.Clair 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

This may be a dumb question, but why can't Redhat distribute NVIDIA binary drivers? In NVIDIA's licence (http://www.nvidia.com/object/nv_swlicense.html) it says: "2.1.2 Linux Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux operating system may be copied and redistributed, provided that the binary files thereof are not modified in any way (except for unzipping of compressed files)." So, what's keeping RedHat from putting the drivers in the distribution? If it's a GPL thing, would it be easy to just download it during installation or at least give the option to the user? Thanks, -- David St.Clair dstclair(a)cs.wcu.edu

Mouse goes crazy
by Jonathan Villa 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Ok, I have had Yarrow working well for a while now, but yesterday I started experiencing some odd issues with my mouse. All of a sudden it stops working correctly. The only thing that seems to fix is to kill X and run mouse-test, then restart. Any ideas? Also, I have FC 1 running on a desktop which is hooked up to a KVM switch. Whenever I go to another PC, and return, the same thing happens, the mouse goes crazy. ???

AFAICT, the only existing howtos are so general that I can't tell what to do.

IDE write ordering ?
by David Balazic 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

Hi! I wonder if the problems with IDE write ordering is resolved with lastest kernels. The problem is , that is is hard to insure the wanted order of writes on ATA disks. This is needed for journalled/logged filesystems for example.

Xinerama causes no Kde antialias and hanging during logout
by Michal Zeravik 28 Nov '03

28 Nov '03

Hi, i'm running standard FC1 with geforce4 nvidia driver and matrox mystique with orig driver on kde xinerama. When running with single screen, everything was fine. But if I configure the second screen, Qt has no antialias only bitmap fonts. GTK apps still has AA even with two screens (mozilla-xft,..). I've configured qtconfig to use AA fonts but with no effect. And second problem is hanging X server (frozen with X cursor mouseable and dead keyboard). Situation for oncase reset. Don't you have any idea? thanx, michalz

Hi, what is (can do) acpi which comes with FC1 kernel? Can I use that for turning computer into standby? I noticed its possible to turn off ide harddisks, but what about scsi disks? I have Fasttrack onboard raid two disks connected as sda. Is it possible to turn it off (after unmount) if system running on ide disk? Michalz
