no text appearing
by Jerry Ro
Hello,
I finally got the fedora installation to load from a FAT + USB stick (no CD,
no network.)However, the same thing I was afraid of that happened with the
Live CD happens with this ISO as well.
There is a message, when loading the GUI interface that says "probing
video."
Then when loading the GUI, there is no text, but only empty boxes of the
size of the text.
I am using an X61 Tablet from Lenovo.
Any ideas?
Thanks

16GB USB Drive Not Accessible
by Christopher A Williams
I recently bought a snazzy new 16GB USB pen drive from the local store -
it was only $29! I have several drives that are 8GB and smaller from the
same store that are the same brand.
Imagine my surprise when:
* The 16GB drive is not accessible on either F9 or F10 Snap 3
* The 8GB drives all work just fine on both F9 and F10 Snap 3
* The 16GB drive works fine on Windows XP
* The 16GB drive also works on a Windows XP VM running on top of F9!!!
I can only conclude from this that something is a miss that causes F9 to
not be able to access and use USB pen drives that are bigger than 8GB,
and that this most likely has something to do with a file system driver
or such.
Anyone else seen this yet? Is there a fix / work-around?
Here's the dmesg output for those who might be interested:

Slow Second Access to Internet
by Michael D. Berger
In my FC7, using Firefox, if for example, I access
www.google.com, I get an essentially instantaneous
response. If I then close the browser, reopen it,
and again try to access google, there is a long
delay, perhaps a minute before I get the response.
(I note that my browser is set to delete all
private on closing.) During this delay, the
browser reports that it is looking up the URL.
If I then wait a few minutes I can repeat the
whole scenario.
I suspect that something similar may be happening
with my Pan news reader.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike.

Problem with .Xresources
by Steven W. Orr
When I log in, I want to get my .Xresources file loaded. That is not
happening. Then I found a file called /etc/X11/Xresources
I added the content of my .Xresources file to it
*customization: -color
*StringConversionWarnings: on
But when I log in, it still does not get loaded. Anyone?
TIA
