Could not setup Speed and Duplex on CentOS 5.5
by Sikkandar Dulkarnai 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Greetings, I recently installed CentOS 5 on Dell PE 1750 server. I have noticed that the speed and duplex settings are 100 Half Duplex. I tried to change the duplex settings to full, but no success. I got the error message "Cannot get current device settings: Operation not supported". Does anyone else experience this issue?. Below is the error message and some more details about my box. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Q about dpi, fonts, gnome, Xorg etc
by Bob Hepple 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

This has been puzzling me for some time and despite bothering Auntie Google rather a lot, I've yet to find a satisfying answer. As an old-time (since 1981) unix and X guy, I've generally been fairly well-able to get fonts to behave in a rational manner. My needs are pretty simple - I just want 8-point (or 9-point etc) fonts to appear on the screen as 8-point font - ie more or less 8 * 1/72 inches = 2.82mm high. More or less, I'm not insisting it be exact, but at least not 1mm or 5mm high. In the (glorious) past I was able to look at xdpyinfo |egrep 'dimension| resolution' and check that Xorg was giving something reasonable.. eg dimensions: 1600x1200 pixels (423x317 millimeters) resolution: 96x96 dots per inch So far so good. With this new fangled gnome and fontconfig stuff, you also need to set up some X-resources with: xrdb -query |grep Xft Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.rgba: none ... and to inform gnome-settings-daemon with gnome-appearance-properties->Font->Details->dpi which is the same as: gconftool-2 -s --type float /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/dpi 96 It's that last step that bothers me - it's not "per display", so if I log in using a different X-server eg using VNC, I might well have a completely different dpi. For example, my home monitor is a good-old CRT with 152 dpi. I use 144 dpi as a multiple of 12 but if I log in through vnc without changing /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/dpi, the fonts are just wrong, wrong, wrong. If I then fix things up in that VNC session, when I come back to the physical monitor at 96 dpi, things are again wrong, until I fix it up again. But then the VNC session(s) are wrong. My question is this - surely there's a way to tell gconf/gnome that my dpi setting is for DISPLAY X. Please tell me it's not just a global setting for all displays!!

Do you know where I can find extensive information how the mechanism of updates works. Is there development documentation which shows how the source code works? So far I haven't seen such papers. I'm not experienced developer so I can't trace the source code to see how it works. And I'm going to change to change my web mail soon.

Hi, Can you tell me what ate differences in the source code between the original Red Hat yum and the one which Centos uses for updates? Regards Peter

MY second question is about Red Hat Network. Is it 100% open source? The only code that I found is the source code of red hat network upstream project Spacewalk. http://spacewalk.redhat.com/source/1.2/RHEL/5/ I would like to see the source code of RHN if it's available?
