RAGE XL Framebuffer
by Yanick Quirion 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi all I know that is not a specific question about Fedora, but I can't find answer on the kernel mailing list. Is somebody having server with integrated ATI RAGE XL video card? Is it possible to patch the kernel to support this video card? If I add VGA=791 in my grub.conf, I will have a resolution of 1024x768 which is good, but the display is very slow (especially when the screen is scrolling). If I use I this: "video=aty128fb:1024x768@70" it will not work. I'm using kernel 2.4.22 but I will try 2.6.0-test11 today. If somebody has a patch, a link or anything else that can help me, it will be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Where is the trick?? I assume that my Sounblaster is an old 16...but fine on a router/firewall. Tnx Antonio

Yum on x86_64
by Gareth Bult 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hi, I seem to have (finally :) ) acquired a complete(ish) / working x86_64 system .. but I'm still having trouble with a few bits, not least "yum". I get; Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Unreleased Updates Finding updated packages Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 60, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "yummain.py", line 204, in main File "clientStuff.py", line 363, in getupdatedhdrlist File "clientStuff.py", line 409, in bestversion IndexError: list index out of range [root@squizzey oddjob]# (This is a modified system [2.6.0-test11] however it seems to run well) Pointing it at mozilla's channel for SeaMonkey seems to work if I disable the default channels, however... Anyone any ideas ? (I was sort of expecting to see it say "no x86_64 updates supported yet" as opposed to a complete crash) Also, can yum pull SRPMS and rebuild them ? tia Gareth.

Dell Latitude D600 touchpad problem
by mikko nuotio 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

I have Dell Latitude D600, 512MB/1.4 GHz/ATI Radeon 9000/Alps GlidePoint (might be only sold in EU). The problem is I _really_ dislike Alps GlidePoint (dual, pad and stick) tapping feature. I am using Fedora core 1 (yarrow) with default Xfree86 shipped with it, and kernel 2.4.22-2135 I want to disable tapping from both stick and pad (or disable the pad) I have tried almost every possible way to disable it(I have read most of tuxmobile stuff for D600). tpconfig - I disable gpm, boot to runlevel 3 run manually "tpconfig --tapmode=0" it says ALPS tapping OFF, but when I start X tapping is still there, even using any existing mouse driver (PS/2, Alps). Does "tpconfig --tapmode=0" only affect on stick ? I also try synaptics touchpad driver for xfree86 (I had to compile it). but xfree will crash if driver not even loaded, only copied to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input (not 100% sure) at least it will crash is it is loaded. So I read more documentation and found out that when using synaptics driver with Alps glidepoint I should have 2.6 kernel to get events from this device. So is there any way disable Alps tapping with current kernel (2.4.22-2135)?

ATI All In Wonder --- Has anyone gotten TV capture to work?
by FearOfCarpet 10 Jul '04

10 Jul '04

I was wondering if anyone has gotten an ATI All in Wonder RADEON's TV capabilities working in Fedora? There is a lot of information on the net about this, but I haven't seen much for the RedHat distros. Apparently I had it working in Debian, but KDE broke before I could really use it and I ended up wiping Debian and installing Fefora on that machine. I'm really only after being able to watch live TV off the S-Video input... Any info would be appreciated- TIA

please recommend a video capture card
by Mick M. 27 Mar '04

27 Mar '04

Hello list; I am running Fedora Core 1 on an older Athlon K7 650/256MB Nvidia gforce2 mx 400 box. (very nice btw) My daughter is in the USAf stationed in Japan, she haa an athlon XP 3200/512 MB with ATI video and Viewsonic 15" lcd monitor. She runs XP pro. She has a very limited personal storage space and does not have physical room for a TV set. What I want to do is buy her a decent video capture card and a VCR. Then she can watch TV/Video tapes on her computer. As well as run her video camera into it (VHS) - no firewire or usb on the camera. She already has a DVD drive and CDRW on her system. I do not run XP and want to test the hardware and maybe duplicate it on my system before I ship it to her. What video capture card would you recommend? thanks Mick M. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

I have problem with redhat-config-packages and yum on my FC1. it looks like it is a problem with the python and libxml2. I have upgraded my box from Red Hat linux 9 to Fedora Core 1. I am getting the following error whenever i launch yum or redhat-config-pcakages import libxml2mod ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined symbol: xmlTextReaderIsValid I am unable to use these tools. command line rpm works fine though. Are there any issues reported while upgrading from RHL to fedora ?

smb-shares
by Sturla Holm Hansen 03 Feb '04

03 Feb '04

I'm having probles when using nautilus to browse smb-shares, either on another linux-box or on a windoze-box, it takes ages to connect, then I'm asked for a password and then it takes ages again. Finally I get a list of the shares on the box, when double-clicking one of them it takes ages AGAIN, but when I'm finally inside a share things seem to be working fine.... Any ideas? Sturla
