I have that checked. Thank you for the links. I'll try applying the
fixes mentioned there. The problem is that it doesn't occur reliably. It
just happens sometimes. Weird, eh?

Thank you for your help, Yogesh.

I just saw this thread. I used to have this problem before and although I never 
could figure out the /exact/ reason, it appeared to be something funky going on 
with pango layouts.


My question as far as reproduction of the problem is concerned is: Are you 
seeing this when you switch different desktop environments ? For me, i saw the 
funky fonts when firefox was the first pango dependent application to start 
(when I used WindowMaker as my primary desktop). For example, if instead I 
launched pidgin/thunderbird/..etc before firefox, the fonts would be just fine.


Let us know your experiences,
cheers,
- steve

[Ilugc] issue regarding network card detection

2010-03-03 Thread Noordeen Hussain
Hello frnds,
 I installed RHEL 5.0 in samsung R418 model laptop. But the
network card is not detected. The network card is Marvell Yukon 88E8040
PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller. I downloaded linux driver and copied it in
home folder. When i gave the command #./install.sh, an error generated as
Permission Denied. So I changed the permission to 755. then I installed
via the same command. After installation, when I used the command,
#system-config-network-tui, I am unable to find the hardware. When I
selected by New method, The hardware is detected and when I gave forward, It
asked whether the IP should be assigned via DHCP or static. Now the issue
arised. Either I give DHCP or assign a static IP. My laptop gets restarted
automatically. When the networking is searched while booting, it again
restarts. I am confused for what to do.

Can anyone please guide me. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Noordeen. H
