I actually subscribe to your conspiracy theory. Having said that, there are levels of evil. Intel has been the most supportive of the major video controller makers historically. For example, Keith Packard is a long-time core X developer and Intel pays him for things that benefit X in general as well as the Intel X drivers. ATI (now AMD) was open with specs, to a very useful degree, until roughly 10 years ago. Then they closed up tight. A couple of years ago, they started to make a large effort opening up. That's still not complete. I don't know of anyone from ATI contributing to X in general the way Keith is doing. They are in a tough spot financially. nVidia is the laggard. On the other hand, many in the Linux community appreciate their well-maintained closed source Linux driver. I'm not one of them. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Don't confuse companies with technologies. What you don't like is the Pentium 4 design (and things with the same design -- some Celerons, some Xeons, Pentium D, ...). It is the processor with such long pipelines. The Pentium 3 was fine. AMD's K7 was better. Intel thought it could regain the lead with P4. It worked for a while but the experiment seems to have failed in the end. The P4 is history. (Funnily enough, I bought my first P4 CPU today.) The Intel Core 2 is technically ahead of the latest AMD products in most ways. The i7 finally gets an on-chip memory controller (as AMD did way back when, copying the Alpha, if I remember correctly). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I need to go back and see the beginning of this thread, just in case anyone thinks I know what I'm talking about... I don't know what I'm talking about either. But for years now, I have had a marked preference for AMD processors. This is based on my past experience in compilers, especially in optimizers. AMD seems to be having some manufacturing problems, as well as financial problems, but they do know CPU design. Some of us always cheer for the underdog. And it looks like AMD just won big in the EU court decision. The Intel line is so massively pipelined that it's almost impossible to write an optimizer that doesn't have to flush its entire cache every few instructions. Intel finally realized that pipeline flushing was the main thing the processor was doing. The "new" (I7) architecture has fixed this problem, with very impressive results. Not that it matters, but the Alpha chip was one impressive processor. That thing could clock off as many as 6 instructions per clock tick because of intelligent pipelining. Most of the Alpha crew went to work for Intel. I think it paid off for Intel. The AMD line doesn't run as fast as the Intel chips on a clock-cycles per dollar basis, but it makes up for it in how it caches instructions. That's both why they're comparable and why it's even possible to write an optimizer for it. You'll notice that both AMD and Intel have turned down the clocks speeds and are trying to make up lost performance with more cores per chip. For some HPC workloads, it isn't working. Gcc is a truly amazing piece of work, and it certainly even qualifies as art. It supports a very wide range of architectures, but I would have to say that it does a better job of optimizing AMD code than Intel code. Then facton in that the processor itself does a better job of caching instructions, and you can see where I get my preferences. Agreed. You'll see better performance on Intel chips using the Intel (ICC) compiler.

deltaisos for F11?
Are there any plans for deltaisos for F10->F11 to be available at release time? The size for each diso will probably be about half that of the corresponding full F11 ISO. Torrents would be nice, but aren't really practical for slow connections since low upload speed makes seeding difficult. Direct download would be preferable. Jonathan Dieter put a diso for 32-bit beta->preview on his presto server, but I suspect the greater size and demand for a F10->F11 diso would kill his bandwidth quota. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I found the following blog post helpful for capturing audio when a Flash video is not downloaded to a temp file: Instructions and shell script for dubbing audio from a running application into a file: http://www.outflux.net/blog/archives/2009/04/19/recording-from-pulseaudio/ The script uses two command line utilities: pactl and parec. "pactl list" produces a list of the active PA channels (is that the right word?). From the list, the appropriate channel name is plucked out, and passed to parec(ord) to grab the audio data. The utilities are packaged on Fedora 9 with "pulseaudio-utils". https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
TV-out with nvidia drivers in Fedora 10
Hi, I'm trying to get the TV out from my GeForce FX5200 to work. I'd ideally like it to be on at the same time as my flat screen and with my desktop extended onto it. I've been searching around for some information, but most of it seems quite out of date. I've got the proprietary Nvidia drivers installed at the moment. I've checked all this and got working under Windows, just need it to work in Linux. Does anyone have any advice on how to achieve this, Much appreciated, James Allsopp -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

The other wireless devices in the house worked just fine. (iPhone, Windows Vista computer) When the connection was dropped, Network Manager didn't show any wireless routers to be available. I disabled Network Manager and tried to connect manually. I got a "device not available" error. Prior to this, wireless networking was bulletproof.

But, when I connect at the Microsoft Office the wireless tends to lose the connection for a period of time, similar to yours. When you lose your connection, check some of the wireless parameters, such as iwconfig and the dmesg logs and some other wireless tools. One thing I have seen at MIT is that my partner brings in his own router, and sometimes, if I am connected to MIT, sometimes NetworkManager decides it likes his router better, but I have not seen this behavior recently. -- Jerry Feldman Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
Xsane problem in F-10 -
I needed to copy a document yesterday but never succeeded. With F-9 I connected the HP5370c and it just worked without a hitch. But with this F-10 system the scanner showed up in lsusb and xsane seemed ready to make copies but after churning for a minute xsane crashed and it displayed a seg. fault error message. It seemed to be telling me that it was using "avision" which I believe contains the appropriate driver? I did a little searching through the mailing list archives but nothing showed immediately and I ran out of time. Is this a recognized problem or am I unique?

Fedora 10: eth1 was disabled while I was asleep...
Hello Everyone I will get back to you with more information after I get off of work, but this is what I have so far. I woke up this morning and went over to our new computer (Supermicro SuperWorkstation 5046AXB): http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/tower/5046/SYS-5046A-X.cfm I am using the integrated network card on the "C7X58" motherboard: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Core2Duo/X58/C7X58.cfm I built this system a few weeks ago, and networking/internet connectivity has worked perfectly ever since. Until this morning. I soon discovere this morning that I was no longer connected to the Internet. So I power cycled the modem and then the router (waiting until the lights were lit as normal) and the restarted the network. It was then that I discovered that "Device pan0" had a different MAC address than the one that was configured. I understand that this has something to do with Bluetooth, so I could care less if I even had a device pan0... Also, after the network was restarted: "/etc/init.d/network restart" I was informed that "pan0" and loopback were the only devices that were active. I tried running "netstat -rn", with the result being completely blank. When I attempted to run "route add default gw 192.168.1.1" the result was, in it's entirety :"SIOCADDRT: no such process" All of the lights on my router and my modem are lit/flashing as normal. The other system on my network (Fedora 8) connects to the Internet perfectly. Also, no one but me has any access to this system, so no changes could have been made to it after I went to bed last night. More simply put, I had perfect network connectivity from my Fedora 10 box last night, but during the night something happened, and I can no longer connect to the Internet. Since my other Fedora system still accesses the Internet perfectly, I don't THINK that this is an issue with my internet provider, but I'm no expert... Thank you for any help you can give me, Steven P.
