Hi,
I have a DELL precision M65 on dual boot, windows xp & Fedora since
the times of Fedora 7. And all had been working very well (with some
little issues) until I changed the mother board (because a severe
problem with the last one). Before to the change, I had installed
fedora 11 and windows xp working well, without battery, and after the
change windows xp works well (ja!, I mean, as always), but
fedora(after updating the system, including the kernel) once that it
starts, I have like 10 minutes before the fan starts to speed up and
suddenly shut down, as if the system were overheated?

I use Fedora on a thinkpad T61p. Most things are good, but when I'm
away from my desk using it on my lap I find that many movements on the
touchpad cause the desktop to rapidly cycle through apps on the
desktop. All of these are accidents but I just can't keep from
accidentally striking the scroll areas of the pad, and depending on
where the cursor is, madly switching desktops and apps. So I'm
constantly having to reposition myself on the correct app and restore
hidden windows.

Hello laptop people,

If like me you are a pay as you go broadband dongle user, then the attached script might be of interest.
It provides a start and stop icon on the desktop which displays asterisks for each second as the usb port is established.
It then displays the status as the connection is made to your isp.
It consists of two small c++ programs contained in a bash script.
I have it currently working with Fedora 11 and would like any feedback
or suggestions for features.

Thankyou Mike Lear

This is a Toshiba Tecra M3 laptop.

Subject: Fedora 12 Console: Laptop dims over time

I cannot start X, so I'm working from runlevel 3. When I my laptop sits and sleeps when I hit a key, it comes back very dim and becomes more dim over time - until I can't even see the screen (so I have to reboot). For some reason my laptop Fn keys for brightness do not work. How do I get these to work?

Good Afternoon

I tried all your releases, since the FC11 x86_64 and none of them I can put it working correctly with my Asus M51TR notebook.

The shortcuts from the keyboard doesn't work correctly, I can shutdown the Wireless via the shortcut but not the BT, that stays always ON;
Everytime I start the FC11 and FC12 it gives me kernel errors, even with the updates made via FC update funcionality;
Harddrive controllers doesn't are correctly detected.

The other problems are problems related with the Firefox add-ins that aren't compatible with a 64bit OS (Flash and Shockwave problems).

Hi,

I upgraded to F12 using the preupgrade over the internet option. I had done this with F11 with great success.

Now that I can see the working desktop it is looking pretty much the same as my F11 setup.

However I have a problem when I reboot in my docking station with the external monitor and the laptop screen closed. F12 seems to continue to default to using the monitor as an extension rather than a mirror. Therefore in my docking station - neatly tucked in under my desk - I can't do any work.

Hi all!

I have got new laptop (emachines E525) and installed fedora11 on it
successfully.i am enjoying it except the gnome-power-manager issue and
function Keys problems.when the laptop switches to battery mode Gnome
shows that Ac power is lost but it doesn't reduce brightness as defined
in gnome-power-manager prefrences.It reduces the battery timimg rapidly.
the 2nd problem is that when i want to increase or decrease brightness
or volume by using Fn key combinaton ,it doesn't act accordingly.
any body have a solution or suggestion?

To Brian Morrison and Steven F. LeBrun,

Steven F. LeBrun, I appreciate your suggestions. I hope what I tell Brian
below, is in keeping with what you suggest. Your quote:
"There are 10 types of people in this world, those that understand binary
and those who don't."
with it's quirky humor, is great! I have a mathematics degree from the
University of California. I am familiar with binary,octal,decimal and
hexadecimal number bases.

Brian, you are correct, I should have subscribed to the Fedora
NetworkManager list, instead of the laptop list. My mistake!

Using the Fedora 11 Network-Manager, I would like help in activating my

Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG |Golan| Network Connection

card or device driver that came with my DELL Inspiron 1505 laptop computer
that I purchased over 3 years ago.

I want to be able to access my city WiFi network. I had very little problem
connecting with my city WiFi using the Fedora 10 Network-Manager. I, now
with Fedora 11, cannot seem to activate my wireless card listed above. I
have to admit I do not really understand the Network-Manager that well.

Can somebody help me?

Hey All,

I have been working with a Toshiba Tecra A10 in Fedora 10 and soon to go to Fedora 11.

The issue I have been dealing with concerns my DVD drive on boot.

When I start Fedora I get the following message 3 times when there is no CD/DVD in the drive:

failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4)

After which the DVD drive is not recognized when I get into Fedora.

This is useful!

Need some tips.

Hello :-)

I accidentally erased /etc/laptop-mode. Can I get it back by
re-installing a certain package? If so, which one would that be? If not,
what other options do I have?

Want the whole story?

Being confused by a number of forum posts out on the internet, I dared
to install laptop-mode-tools-x.y.rpm from the laptop mode tools'
homepage. After installation, I noticed that FC 10 obviously has laptop
mode tools already integrated - there was a folder /etc/laptop-mode with
timestamps of "some time ago".

i just download he fedora 11 preview and vmware 6.5, but when i installed
vmware in the fedora, it always failed whatever vmware is workstation or
server.

the error is here:

I have some Dell Latitude D630s running Fedora 10, and I'm trying to use Netgear FA511 and/or D-Link DFE-690TX PCMCIA ethernet cards
on them. However, with both cards, it is unable to read the EEPROM (it states this in dmesg). For the Netgear FA511 cards, this
results in an interface that does not send/receive packets (not even in tcpdump on the local machine), and the interface has the
well-known "tulip driver can't read the EEPROM" MAC address of 00:4C:69:6E:75:79 ("Linux" in Hex).

Hey all,

Does anybody out there on these three lists know how to get Fedora to
reroute the sound from my laptop's speakers to the line out on the
docking station to which the laptop is connected? I'm using a Dell

activated usually, but the signals still come from the laptop's

Hey all,

My Dell Latitude C640 laptop for some reason kept locking up on Fedora 9. I thought it might be related to the fact that it was docked, so I undocked it, no luck. Tried installing Fedora 10, it locked up in the installation program once I got to custom package selection. Tried again while skipping the customization process, it locks up during the package installation.

The lockup seems to be similar to the CPU overheating that I have experienced in the past when a fan went bad on my Dell desktop.

Hi All,

I have FC10 install on Macbook Pro(15'') with Nvidia GeForce 8600M
GT. Fedora rocks even on apple hardware, however I have two question.

1)

Why do we have two different applications to control screen resolution.
System->administration->display(1024x768)
System->Preferences->Hardware->screen resolution (1440x900)

As shown in brackets, both of these controls show different resolution. I am
not sure what is happening. Can anyone throw some light on this please?

2) Is there a way to achieve any higher resolution than 1400x900?

Thanks for your time,
Rupak

I am running F10 on Hp NC6320 with Centrino Duo Core, 1.5GB Ram and 80 GB

When I installed F10 it was a clean install with everything as default.

After I installed F10 none of my laptop features worked, witch in F9 they

So I tested suspend mode using the gnome menu.

Im haveing problems with installing the latest java run time on fedora 10
any help would be much apresated.

I'm having problems with resume after suspende to ram or hibernate, my
lap is a HP Pavilion dv6000.
