screensaver vs dpms
by Jackson Byers
$ uname -r
2.6.30.9-102.fc11.i686.PAE
In my system, the screensaver (blanking the screen)
seems to be working as expected.
But, I am also experiencing occasional
dpms-like "suspend" blanking,
(I am sure it is "suspend" and not "standby")
which
I don't want, and worse, I can't find out what is
causing this response.
I don't have an xorg.conf, and would rather keep it that way.
If I get out of X via ctl-alt-bs,
and then back in via startx,
then
xset q shows standby, suspend, off all at 0, ie disabled.
So what else in f11 can be exciting that "suspend"?
I have done some googling, but no help so far.
Are there F11 guidelines for using both screensaver and dpms?
TIA

F12 - Network Manager Problem / Question
by Genes MailLists
Unable to edit connections - wired / wireless / vpn
I was running f11. I did a clean install (but kept /home from f11).
When I login as user - network manager shows all my previously entered
wired and wireless settings - however when I Right Click they are not
listed for editing - same for vpn connections.
How can I get the list back to edit them as I need to make a change ?
thanks

Hi Robert,
I have the same situation, and used the xrandr script which Marko posted
a couple of weeks ago. This turns off the laptop screen on startup, BUT
anything which was on the laptopp screen gets "lost" ie, I can't refer
to anything which was in the trays. If I then click on the cashew on
the external screen & hit "zoom out", it shows me 2 screen images, the
one I am using on the external screen (with the "blue blob"background),
the other which appears to be the last laptop image with a plain blue
screen.
My previous F11 installation used to have the same image on both
screens, which I could "auto config" on my external screen to get it to
full screen & Fn-f5(Toshiba) would cycle happily throught the
both-ext-lap.....
So far, I've not found an answer!

Why are the virtual machine RPMs not updated in the repo for F11?
by KC8LDO
I was doing some checking on the virt-manager GUI and found it is
significantly out of date. The version in the F11 repo is 0.7 while the
version on the web site
http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/download.html
is currently at 0.8.1 last I checked. The date for the 0.7 version is back
in March of 2009. That makes it at least 9 months old and 2 revisions behind
what is there now.
The same could be said for the other packages too:
In the repo is virtinst v0.400.3 - current is v0.500.1
In the repo is virt-viewer v0.0.3-6 - current is v0.2.0
Who do I have to contact about getting these packages updated and in the
repo for update downloads?

Can't burn DVDs
by Konstantin Svist
I just tried burning a DVD (authored by DeVeDe) and both K3b and
GnomeBaker fail to start writing. Clean boot doesn't help, neither does
lowering the write speed to 4x.
Anyone else having this problem?

FC12 -- video resolution problems
by Robert Moskowitz
I just did a FC12 install on my notebook, blowing away my Centos 5.3
install. Big step up.
This is on a HP nc2400 that has the Intel 945M video. It comes up with
only 800x600 resolution.
So I installed system-config-display and configured the monitor manually
to be LCD 1280x1024, but selected only 1024x768.
I logged out and logged in, and I came up in 1024x768 video. I then
pressed <FN-f4> to switch to my external LCD monitor, and things went a
bit screwy. I should point out that my monitor is on a Belkin KVM. But
this has always worked in Centos.
My situation right now is that the system is running both internal and
external, and pressing <FN-f4> is not getting it to roll through
internal, both, external, internal, etc. as it 'use to'.
If I power up with the external disconnected, I come up in 1024x768 and
then if I plug the external in, it is not sized properly, like it is
only 800x600 and thus you only see the center of the screen and only the
background, not the running tasks.
If I boot up with the external plugged in, the video is 800x600 for both
internal and external, and I cannot roll through the modes.
So what is going on here and how can I get things working reasonablly???

F12 GNOME panel has big gaps between launchers
by Brian Mury
I recently made the move from F11 to F12.
Application launchers on GNOME panels have much larger gaps between them
than they did on F11. I can move the icons by dragging with the middle
mouse button, but I cannot get them any closer together. This wastes a
lot of space on the panels, and I would really like to get them closer
together like they were in F11.
Is this an intentional change, or is something messed up on my system?
I did a fresh install of F12, not an upgrade, and I have tested with a
new user.
I've attached a screenshot of part of a panel in both F11 and F12 to
illustrate. I'm not sure if the list will allow attachments, if not I
will upload it somewhere and post a link.
