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. ???

I have the same symptoms... rpcinfo says that nfs et.al. are running. Something has changed in test 2, since the same PC running RH9 accesses that host just fine.

autoconf breakage on x86_64.
by Sam Varshavchik 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

I don't know the right way to fix this, but something is definitely broken; and something needs to be fixed, one way or the other. The question is what exactly needs to be fixed. Consider something like this: LIBS="-lresolv $LIBS" AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC(res_query, AC_MSG_RESULT(yes), AC_MSG_RESULT(no)) Here's what happens on x86_64: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./.. conftest.c -lresolv >&5 /tmp/ccW7EeDX.o(.text+0x7): In function `main': /home/mrsam/src/courier/authlib/configure:5160: undefined reference to `res_query' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:5147: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: [ blah blah blah ] | /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 | builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ | char res_query (); | int | main () | { | res_query (); | ; | return 0; | } The same exact test on FC1 x86 will work. The reason appears to be that you have to #include <resolv.conf> on x86_64 in order to succesfully pull res_query() out of libresolv.so. You don't need to do this on x86, and the test program generated by AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC does not include any headers, but uses a manual prototype. So, what now?

How do I get the new file selector to show hidden files, or at least to open them.

Re: no USB jump/flash drive support yet
by t l 17 Sep '04

The only additional info I've been able to get is by running 'lsusb'. It lists the USB Flash drive that usbcore fails to probe correctly. Here is the output from 'lsusb': Bus 004 Device 004: ID 08ec:0010 M-Systems Flash Disk Pioneers DiskOnKey Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:1e11 Hewlett-Packard Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0409:0058 NEC Corp. HighSpeed Hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 tom ------------------------------------ * From: TGS <spam tachegroup com> Same exact problem here. I am able to use some USB Flash drives without issue, but some fail. The failures lock up the whole mount subsystem capability, and the only way to fix it is to restart. My errors are just like the below. Is there a way to gather detailed information for the failed devices? -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

usb disk installations
by Jim Cornette 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

I attempted to install FC3T1 on a USB drive using expert mode. It seems that all the proper files installed on the disk. The disk is a laptop disk contained inside a usb - ATA adapter and seems to work with the proper modeles loaded. Are there any plans to get the module needed to mount USB disks loaded soon enough to be able to boot from these disks. My grub.conf file is in the attached file. There is a lot of interest in getting this concept to work. Thanks, Jim -- The duck hunter trained his retriever to walk on water..... "Notice anything?" the owner asked eagerly.
