round() in glibc*2.3.3-31
by Mark Fonnemann
Hello-
does anyone know why round() does not work correctly in a C program without
using the compiler flag "-std=c99". any program will compile correctly without
any warnings in gcc but then the function will return garbage data unless the
flag is added during compilation. there's no mention of this in the man page...
i only discovered this by googling and then finding this response
"http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2004-01/msg02169.html". is this a problem with
the glibc package in Fedora? i feel this is either a bug or something that
should be documented in a man page somewhere.. and yes, to mention the obvious,
i did #include <math.h> in my source and also compiled in gcc with the -lm
option. thanks everyone...
mark. :-)

>who always try to blame others for the bugs in their own code.
oh, a personal attack that accomplished a lot. i'm glad you wrote this, it was
really insightful, very informative, and definitely not a waste of everyone's
time or anything (including the time it took for you to type it). it's a shame
that you are so insecure that you have to throw stones at other people (maybe
just me, who knows) to make yourself feel better. ;-)
i've already sent you a personal response, no sense of carrying on here about
this but i do want to add that i never blame others for mistakes i make. and, i
wasn't really blaming anyone. if you'll recall, i'd asked a question "is this
documented somewhere" followed by a question mark and then added if not "i
think it should" i.e. in the man pages for round() and math.h. this might be
the first time that i tried to help someone (or something) and got attacked for
doing so (the fedora core distro by finding and documenting bugs; btw, i found
another in X... just now as i write this my X server just crashed multiple
times! note to everyone reading, i am not blaming the xorg group for this bug,
after all maybe i did something wrong, i am "incompetent" after all. ;-0)
and, one final thing. i'm actually a fairly competent programmer... i challenge
you to a coding contest if you really feel the urge to prove yourself! until
then, i'll continue to file bugs in bugzilla and comment on others i find while
wallowing in my "incompetence".
mark "sorry to steal jef's signature move, my apologies to him, but since when
does suggesting an addition to the man pages and asking a question about c99
when you've always been a K&R C guy (hence, the ignorance about round returning
junk data which i still maintain is something gcc should fix lest it not be
allowed without -std=c99) deserve a tirade about programmer incompetence?"

RE: 1920x1200 LCD unwanted borders

That is probably because FC2 uses x.org instead of XFree86. Look at the
modelines and other settings in that config and modify yours to match.
Im not sure if the Nvidia driver will run on FC2 as my test machine is
not a Dell D800.
I found out that the D800 I have only supports 1280x1024. That is I don't have a WUXGA LCD display.
However, I do have a Precision M60 that supports 1920x1200.
I have only been able to get the M60 to 1680x1050.
Do I really need to specify modelines with version X in Fedora 2?

FC2 Test 3 and DWL-520 (Rev D) wireless adapter
by Tim McGaha (Comcast)
I'm still trying my best to get a DWL-520 Rev D wireless adapter working
on FC2 Test 3. I hav been trying to use the wlan-ng package and PRISM
drivers with no real luck.
I really like usinf Fedora but this is really giving me a hrad time. It
shouldn't be so difficult for anyone to configure a wireless adapter on
any OS.
Trying to install the prism2_pci module I get the following:
modprobe prism2_pci
WARNING: Error inserting p80211
(/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.327/linux-wlan-ng/p80211.ko): Invalid module
format
FATAL: Error inserting prism2_pci
(/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.327/linux-wlan-ng/prism2_pci.ko): Invalid module
format
dmesg output is:
p80211: version magic '2.6.5-1.327custom 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3'
should be '2.6.5-1.327 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3'
prism2_pci: version magic '2.6.5-1.327custom 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS
gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.5-1.327 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3'
I'm not that up to speed with building kernels and or customizing
kernels o its probably something related to that. If anyone can help me
and I can get this to work I will be both truly grateful and amazed.
Thanks

vmware 4.51, FC2T3 [x86_64] - had had anyone success?
by Peter Boy
I'm running FC2T3 (kernel 358) and tried to install vmware 4.51
workstation. Did anyone succeed running this combination?
While trying to compile the kernel modules some error messages came up
here:
vmware...../driver.c (131): Warning:
Initialising incompatible type of pointer
vmware...../driver.c (135): Warning:
Initialising incompatible type of pointer
and some others, resulting in an unknown symbol and compilation aborted.
On google I found vmware-any-any-update67, but no hint how to install
it. And it seems to be for the i386 arch.
Any help appreciated.

Try the i586 kernel instead of the i686 one. If that works then
something
in the 4G/4G support has probably been broken again. Either way please
let
us know what happens
_______________________________________________________________________
It's easier to disable 4G/4G in the kernel than trying to install the
i586 kernel. I will try that first and if that doesn't work I will try
the i586 kernel and see if that changes anything. Either way I will let
you know

new kernel for testing
by Arjan van de Ven
Hi,
I've built a new kernel (2.6.6-1.383) for testing; and it just got uploaded
to the testing area on the fedora download site.
Highlights include
* Update to 2.6.7-rc1
* A patch to improve suspend/resume to ram behavior
(If your laptop failed before, please test with this)
* Major USB update
* The VIA C3 bug is fixed
* Minor ACPI update
The idea is to do a final update kernel in a week or two, which will include
some more bugfixes and hopefully the 2.6.7-final kernel. However it's still
useful to get this "inbetween point" tested to see if we're going in the
right direction.
Greetings,

Kernel-source RPM For "Minimal" Fedora Core 2 Installs
by Robert L Cochran
I did a "minimal" Fedora Core 2 install mainly to play with. You don't
get X with this -- fine by me. To that I wanted to add the rpm's needed
for software development. One of these is the kernel-source RPM. This
package requires qt-devel and gtk2-devel, each of which in turn has a
long list of dependencies. Using rpm -ivh --force... doesn't seem to
work. To keep things small, I installed the kernel src.rpm package, and
edited the spec file to remove the requirement for qt-devel and
gtk2-devel. Then built it with rpmbuild --bb and finally installed the
new kernel-source rpm.
That in turn allowed me to do 'make menuconfig' which is all I really
need for this "play" system.
Is there a less complicated way to get around the qt-devel and
gtk2-devel requirements just to install the kernel source on a system
without X?
Thanks

pppd problem again????
by Kontogiannis Theophanis
Dear all,
Now that I have installed FC2 I noticed that the active-filter option is
compiled in the new distrib. Thank you all on that (and for the new
Fedora.... really nice)
BUT:
Now I have another problem. pppd daemon keeps on complaining that:
May 28 20:59:28 gw pppd[4643]: error in active-filter expression:
inbound/outbound not supported on linktype 0
I looked on tcpdump man page (and pppd) but no answers there!
Now what? :)
The previous problem is fixed (tha fact that pppd needed recompilation to
support active-filter and then wvdial did not work with pppd) and now there
is a new one. I have the filling that this cameout of the new kernel! true?
I do not need to mention that it is a VERY needed option, to make clear to
pppd when to drop the link as idle.
Thank you all again.
Sincerely,
Theophanis

Re:Missing Files
by Marshall Clark
New to list today.(sorry)
Is the development tree ok for testing by interested parties?
Missing files in /Fedora/Base and /images
Googled the ones at Duke but tree is older and missing files do not work
on new tree.
Anaconda fails.
Build stamp or something on header file order/version?
Ftp at Duke was to slow to downgrade if there is a working version of
the missing files.
Would love to test both 32bit and 64bit.
I have 450mz cube and Dual G5.
Might even go get a Powerbook in the not to distant future.
Have FC2 on amd64 and 32 machines.
Have had 0 lockups on either machine since installed. Few odd bugs but
very usable and stable.
Am cancer patient with daytime on my hands.
Am tired of waiting for SCO to die.(It is only a matter of time though)
Am lucid and semi-competent with 2 athlon linux machines, 1 athlon linux
laptop, 1 MacOsx Dual G5, 1 G4 Cube, 1 amd64 linux, 1 Xbox Xebian 1.02,
Sharp Zaurus 5600. Have numerus hardware setups ATI 9800,ATI 9600,ATI
7000, Rage 128, Xbox chip video chip(can't remember offhand), Dvd
writer sony, Superdrives, CD recorders, Bttv cards, 4 different video
cams, tv cards, etc. Over 1 terrabyte combined HD storage. Broadband
routers, wireless B router and access points, switches, hubs, usb hubs,
DV video cameras, usb storage devices, KVM switches, LCD flat screens,
5 printers/lasers.(One sick puppy I think)
Have 2 dual athlon MP boards w/chips if anybody wants to pay shipping.
Either MB's broke or CPU's broke, but 1 processer will run on both
machines.
I believe they are both odd frq chips 1900mhz and 2100mhz. Seems I have
better luck with all athlons with even mhz ie 2600,3000. Have wasted to
much time on them recently, moving on.(Without warranty of course)
Am moving in 30 days don't want to toss if anybody wants.
Contact me if interested.
