OK most of the references I see to this card are before 2014, so I am not
sure if this gets any testing in Fedora anymore. The resolution on the
monitor is 'odd' compared to what the various drivers are listed to support
(640x480, 1024x768, 1920x1080) so again I am not much help here.

Fudge, I should know that. Sorry for a wild goose chase. I would see if the
CentOS8 installer goes into X with a larger than 640x480

Yes.. that might help figure out in a binary search method.. though
downloading archive isos might be a lot to ask.

I don't remember using it since 2004 so I'm not sure myself. I am sorry I
can't be of more help.

Sometimes if Fedora can only go to generic 640x480 the video card is no

a problem between Fedora 28 and the version of Fedora you are trying.


IIRC Centos 8 does not have a live version.
I expect Fedora-18 to 32 do.

Just rediscoverd Xorg --configure .
Do not remember how I used it.
Not sure how I should.

Is a Centos 8 live image available anywhere?

I would love to have one for hardware compatibility testing when looking for 
new laptops and such.

1. What kind of video card is this?
2.How is the video connected to the monitor? (DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort/VGA)
3. What kind of monitor is it?
4. What version of Fedora and is Fedora trying to do X or Wayland?

Sometimes if Fedora can only go to generic 640x480 the video card is no
longer 'supported' by the various X11 drivers.. or the data that the
monitor is returning to say what it can support is coming back as 640x480.
Finally this may do better on a fedora mailing list (but they will ask the
same questions). For a CentOS viewpoint I would ask if it happens if you
run CentOS-8 (try via a live cd) on the box. If it does happen, then it is
a problem between Fedora-18 and Fedora-28. If it doesn't happen then it is
a problem between Fedora 28 and the version of Fedora you are trying.

[CentOS] CentOS 6.10, Epel 4.4.xx kernel, certmonger issue.

[Bill Maltby (C4B)]

Any guidance appreciated.

Been running CentoS 6.1 on my stuff in my 1-man office trying to buy
time to have some liesure to learn the non inittab/telinit/runlevel
stuff as I put up CentOS 8.

So, yes I know EOL is upon me but since I've tried to become a user
after exiting comp. biz decades ago I no longer stay with the "latest
and greatest".

Anyway, Have 6.10 up-to-date on a Ryzen 1700 and it run good.

Installed the EPEL Nvidia k-mod driver and have been trting the 4.4
series of kernels from EPEL as well.

It LOOKs, subjectively, to run much faster than the 2.6.32.xx kernel
and, I suspect, will be more compatible with this hardware.

Boots and runs non-graphical (runlevel 2) just fine.

Problem is when I go to run level five it hangs on certmonger when
running the 4.4 kernels.

Googled and so form a LONG time agao (10 years maybe?) there had been an
issue of hanging at certmonger that was fixed but I never found how it
was fixed.

Anyone have a cluebat for the clueless how I can get this combination to
run?

TIA,
Bill

[CentOS] X defaults

[Michael Hennebry]

I've been trying to move from Centos 7 to fedora.
My monitor is 1440x900, but fedora only believes it's 640x480.
G.
xrandr has not helped.
I've been trying to write X configuration files to tell fedora 1440x900,
but no joy.
Is there a way to get X to tell me its current beliefs,
very preferably in configuration file format?

According to the log file on Centos, everything was defaulted or probed.
It contains no numbers.
My guess is that fedora has different defaults and they are wrong for me.

I've had problems like this before,
so I'm unwilling to install until I know I can run a live version.
That makes life clunky.
I have to boot to non-graphics, do my editing and change the runlevel.

I am doing this in my spare time outside of moving and some other items..
so I am not sure 'how fast' I can get to this. [My current guess is that
the Firefox requirement for pulseaudio in 78+ is looking for a different
version ABI that EL6 supports.]

Is there a script available that will automatically update the apache
configs from CentOS 7 to "pass" the latest "vulnerability scans" by
removing the older cyphers like TLSv1.0 protocol: and others that get
flagged by vulnerability scans ???

Thanks,

Yes .. we are in the middle of a 7.9.2009 upgrade too.

We also have an issue with several module build failures (python27,
llvm, rust) which are in progress.

Once we fix the issues we will do a CentOS Linux 8 release.

[CentOS] Centos 7 + PHP7.2 - variables_order not working

[Gary Stainburn]

I've just moved my site onto a new box and I'm having a real problem  
with $_REQUEST.  The variables_order  and request_order values are not 
being respected.


I need the cookies to take the lowest priority, so I put it first in the 
sequence. However, as the code below shows this is not happening.  
Changing variables_order and request_order does not make any difference.


Anyone got any ideas why?  I've not seen this before.

PHP.ini settings

variables_order = "CGPS"
request_order = "CGPS"

The position of the 'C' seems to make no difference at all, but if I 
remove it then I get the expected response.
