That's fine in Fedora. I want to solve a problem with SUSE Live CD which fails on my SiS AGP card at home. SUSE in installed on the same system too where it works fine. But it doesn't when run from CD. /etc/X11/Xfree86Config (as configured by YasT / SaX ) files in both the cases were exactly similar. I was just curious and thinking if it could be different resolution settings ? X fails to start (Monitor blinks).But I can ctrl-alt-f1 to console. Both xwininfo and xrandr seem to work only within X. Is there a command to find the same information outside of X server ?

To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <E1CXlO6-00065r-00@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hello List, Here I have a technical drawing sent in tiff format from a vendor with a few pages. I have tried opening this file with kview,kuickshow, GQview,Gnome Image Viewer,gThumb,and most venerable GIMP. But none of them can display it satisfactorily. The moment this file is opened,I can see frentic hard disk operation (as indicated by LED),freezing of desktop,mouse and other applications. Finally when opened, navigation repeats the effect. This file is opened and slide showed in preview - effortlessly under Windows XP. I have tried opening the File in above aplications under Fedora,Suse linux, Knoppix with invariably the same result. Is it that this format is particularly disliked by Linux OSes? Or what else could be wrong with the file ?

I have found the EFI thing to be a bit of a red herring... you can effectively work around the problem by converting your iPod to FAT32 (i.e., a "Windows iPod"). This is easily done if you have access to a Windows machine with iTunes. Once the conversion is done, you no longer require Windows. The downside to this is that it requires deleting all the data on your iPod and re-loading it. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/bcs / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves ------------------------------ Message: 10 Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2004 13:52:23 -0500 From: Deron Meranda <deron.meranda@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Any problem with TIFF image Format for Linux ?

Most viewers are unable to cope with this. Also TIFF is rather open-ended about how the data is encoded, and it could just be that the encoding format used in your particular TIFF images is not understood. If you have the 'libtiff' package installed then try the following command on one of your TIFF files to get more information: tiffdump image.tiff If you see the term "IFD", that refers to one image. If there are multiple images inside the TIFF file, you can split them out by using the tiffsplit command to separate each image into its own file. -- Deron Meranda ------------------------------ Message: 11 Date: Sat, 27 Nov 2004 00:25:32 +0530 From: Rahul Sundaram <rahulsundaram@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: ipod on FC3 To: Juan Gabriel Florez <jgflorez@xxxxxxxxx>, For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <c79487d604112610554499dcce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Hi > partition option, I tryed it and it wotks, but after doing that some > other stuff in FC3 stoped working so I had to stop using my EFI > disabled compiled kernel.

I don't subscribe, so I can't post this response there. When I upgraded from FC2 to FC3, I saw the same error messages you saw about: "Assertion(heads>0) at disk_dos.c: 485 in function probe_partion_for_geom() failure." A web search found an explanation and a solution at: <http://lwn.net/Articles/86835> Apparently, the initial installation of FC2 damaged the disk geometry due to a bug in FC2. This interferes with upgrading to FC3. I applied the fix described in the LWN article and was able to upgrade successfully from FC2 to FC3. Hope this helps. -- ========================================================================= Bob Parnass, AJ9S GNU/Linux User http://parnass.com ------------------------------ Message: 16 Date: Sat, 27 Nov 2004 00:45:08 +0530 From: Rahul Sundaram <rahulsundaram@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: How do I mount this device?

I have a OptiPlex Gx1 450L (Bios Revision A06) board with a ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP 1x/2x video chip on it. Now I want to install a LCD monitor under this system which needs a special video card (digital, Siemens D964). So everything works fine under shell, but I was not able to start X. Also I could not configure the new video card with system-config-display. On starting system-config-display the screen turns to black and the program is searching for the on-board video chip although the monitor is still connected with the new pci video card. To build a working /etc/xorg.conf with this monitor and the pci video card on an other copmuter and copy this file to the OptiPlex system doesn't change anything. So, I am totaly helpless at this point. Does anybody know how to get this working? Has fc3 a possibility to knock out the on-board video chip? thank you Olaf ------------------------------ -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list End of fedora-list Digest, Vol 9, Issue 435 *******************************************
