I've had a couple of Googles at this, but it's hard to pick the right
keywords and I've not hit anything.

Has anyone got a surround sound card (5.1 or 7.1) to separately output
stereo on two pairs of channels or able to suggest how? What I've got
is a 7.1 card with 4 stereo out jacks, which mostly has my monitor
speakers plugged into the main output, and a separate stereo speaker
set with amplifier (which is usually turned off). I'd like to be able
to have the amplifier plugged into one of the other channels and be
able to swap the output between the two from the desktop.

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this as I'm curious why it's
happening. When I play sounds in F11 at the moment the master volume
control goes too loud (mouse-over on the volume control applet comes
out ~160%) and sound comes out incredibly loud and distorted. Changing
the volume through the applet resets it to below 100% and a normal
volume.

I've just noticed F12 is moving towards NetworkManager for system-wide
connections.

In principle it's a good thing, but with Fedora 11 I'm still having NM
problems on two completely different wireless chipsets (rt2500 and
iwl3945) which still refuse to do DHCP, which has been an intermittent
problem since I first started trying to use NM (say around Fedora 8).
It is always blamed on bugs in the drivers, which may be the case, but
NM has always seemed less tolerant of these kinds of problems than the
old system-config-netw

Hi,

The last few Fedora desktops (F8-F10) have had slide-show artwork for
the desktop (actually, I liked infinity the best, but digressing),
with Leonidas I notice that the main theme artwork (and also the Lion
and Landscape backgrounds) are implemented as slideshows, but just
seem to cycle through different sizes of files marked with "-noon".
Has the slide-show artwork been dropped or is this just some kind of
packaging mistake?

Has anyone seen this in Fedora 10? I've got some equations (a few
arrays, but the problem also affects '4 times 4') in a .odt file and
exporting them to PDF from OpenOffice in F10 results in odd glyphs in
place of the characters I'd expect. The same .odt exported from
OpenOffice 2.3 in Fedora 8 turns out fine.

Does anyone use kphotoalbum? It seems to do /almost/ exactly what I
want in terms of flexible tagging, but the html albums it exports
don't look great (both its file|html export and the html export
plugin), has anyone had any success customizing it? Thought I'd ask
here before disappearing across to their mailing list.

Thanks
