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. ???

Fedora 2.6 kernel problems
by Ryan Nix 31 Dec '03

31 Dec '03

Hello, Someone posted a reply/fix to this yesterday and unfortunately, I deleted it. :-[ I get a kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda2. I believe the fix had something to do with the grub.conf file. Can anyone offer any pointers? Thanks in advance! Ryan

A Newbie with 2135 and trying to install NVIDIA 4496 or 5328
by Keith Goode 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

OK, this is how far I have got and can't get any further... Help! Arghhhhh! I put the system at runlevel at 3, logged in as root, and ran the .run pkg for either the 4496 or 5328.. No matter what, it tells me it does not know where my kernel (or I need to recompile...) is and wants me to include --kernel-include-path... I know I have 2135, but, does anyone know what I am supposed to do? This is the first time I have ever run Linux at all, and I do not know anything! At least the Fedora installation went easy enough for me to understand, I even kept Windows 2000 on board! Thanks, Keith Goode
