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. ???

The f10 builds seem to work fine for me (finding the plugins), so perhaps this is rawhide-specific? To be clear, digikam's Settings -> configure digikam -> Kipi Plugins is empty? -- Rex

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.

Fedora install support for netbooks -- small screen size
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

I am doing another FC12 install on my ASUS 701ee. This is a test system, and I end up installing every month or so. Of course with the small screen size, I end up pressing <cntl-N> a lot, as I cannot see the Next button. And on some screens I just miss some options, like getting to customize the install packages. I am always forgetting the key combo to turn that check box on. Is there some way to either get the ability to pan the screen around or scroll the screen so that on Netbooks that SHOULD be a popular install platform for Fedora, can have workable installation?

Students learning BugZapping
by Vedran Miletić 06 Jun '10

06 Jun '10

Hi guys, we teach about opensource at our university, and I would love to demonstrate to my students how to do BugZapping. I have a couple of questions: 1) There are about 50 of them. If I request each one to make a Fedora account, it's going to be a lot of accounts and lots of potential complications. What should I do? Can all of them work simultaneously on one account? 2) I plan to focus on finding duplicates and triaging radeon-related stuff, because it's quite easy to explain stuff there (KMS/UMS, xf86-video-radeon/radeonhd, card generations etc.), but I don't want to limit myself to that. Any other suggestions what to work on? Regards, -- Vedran Miletić
