Fedora-Core-2

Posted in Uncategorized on 04/29/2004 08:13 am by steve

Just upgraded to Fedora-Core-2 Test 3 (FC2T3). Hit a couple bumps along the way…

Problem: CDROM Stopped Working

Soution: Removed the hdc=ide-scsi kernel parameter from the grub conf.

Problem: Mouse Wheel Stopped Working

Solution: Two part. First I had to discover that 2.6 kernel reports mouse protocol as “ExplorerPS/2″, then had to discover that my changes to /etc/X11/XFree86-4 were for naught. FC2T3 includes the X server from x.org (see freedesktop.org for more info) and that the new X server is configured via the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Knowing all that I replaced

Option "Protocol" "somethingorratherPS/2"

with

Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"

and handsome cheer abounded.

Problem: Sound Stopped Working

Solution: $ sudo /sbin/modprobe snd-via82xx
