Dell TrueMobile 1400 Wireless card
by Peter Kitchener 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Has anyone had any luck with getting the Dell TrueMobile 1400 A/B/G wireless card working under Linux? I have experimented with ndiswrapper, i have had nothing but problems trying to get it to work. I was wondering if anyone has found a native Linux driver for the card. It uses a Broadcom 4309 chipset. Regards, Peter

CentOS4 on Dell Inspiron 9300
by Matt Lawrence 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

I just purchased a Dell Inpiron 9300 from the Dell Outlet store. Installing CentOS4 went very, very smoothly until I tried configuring X. The 17" screen has a 16:10 aspect ratio with a 1920x1200 resolution. The best I could manage using system-config-display was 1600x1200. So, after a bit of research, I hand editted the xorg.conf file (reproduced below) and it now works great. Maybe there was a simpler solution, but I didn't know one. Enlightenment would be welcome, but in the meantime, here's a solution that works. Enjoy. # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the # file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally # no need to change the default. # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.

Darwin Streaming Server
by Mike 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Greetings CentOS Fans. I've downloaded the "Redhat 9" version of Darwin Streaming Server from Apple. The binary seems to load and run, but I can't get it to actually stream any files. Not a CentOS issue, but I am curious if anyone else is running Darwin Streaming Server on CentOS, and what they had to do to get it to work correctly. Apple's website seems to be all over the place, and the .pdf's I've found seem to be barely helpful. Thanks. Mike

Video driver for IBM Netvista w/Intel 845 chipset
by Thomas E Dukes 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hello, I am having problems with video in X. I get an over frequency issue using the stock CentOS 4.2 driver. I have searched IBM and Intel for the driver but no luck. Occassionally I see something about need to load a kernel module for agpgart. How do I do this? Anyone have a similar setup or know where I can find the driver? TIA

Re: [CentOS] YUM update from RHEL3 to CentOS3 stalls
by iank＠mac.com 13 Mar '06

OK, I got it solved. Thank goodness for a screen that scrolls back a long way!! I was able to pull the install order from the console output (note to self, sending a copy of the console messages to a file would be a good thing). From there I was able to determine what was left off, and the proper order run through. Probably the best method would be to do the following: *Work backwards from the last RPM downloaded. *Since the rpm name might be truncated, do a "rpm -qa | grep rpm name" *You should see 2 versions, the old one and the new one (since the install process itself completed). *Do a "rpm -e --justdb newer rpm name" *Continue through until you reach the transaction that failed. *Do a "yum update rpm name" from that point back down the list in the correct order of the downloads. This will back out just the rpm database entry, and allow you run the yum transaction correctly, including all pre/post/postun scripts. Some thoughts: Once you back out all the database entries, you could probably just run "yum update" which should catch everything that you need. I didn't back things out in the reverse order, but worked from the stopping point on. In hindsight, this is probably what led to a few dependency issues which required the --nodeps flag. A script might work out nicely, but I wanted to watch each transaction for problems. Thanks, Ian

Missing Dependencies
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

I finally got to installing TinyCA2 but have some dependency problems: yum localinstall tinyca2-0.7.2-0.noarch.rpm --> Processing Dependency: perl-Gtk2 for package: tinyca2 --> Processing Dependency: perl-MIME-Base64 for package: tinyca2 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: perl-Gtk2 is needed by package tinyca2 Error: Missing Dependency: perl-MIME-Base64 is needed by package tinyca2 I ASSuME this means that these packages are not in the CentOS distro. So where can I find them? Perhaps this is part of CentOSplus??

mail/access revisited
by Sam Drinkard 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

A while back, I posted a note asking if anyone had any ideas why the /etc/mail/access file was not being parsed or utilized in the efforts to stop spam and junk mail. I just looked over things again, and have still not found any reason why it still permits the TLD's I have listed to pass thru. I also thought perhaps there might be some "upper limit" to the number of entries sendmail could handle. What do the sendmail guru's think about that idea? I may reduce the number of entries from the current 275 +/- down to just the most offensive TLD's and see what happens. Short of that, are there any other thoughts ya'll might have as to why it still passes the stuff I want blocked? Thanks.. Sam
