How can I disable fbcon in Fedora 15?
My object is to get a console resolution of 80(characters)X25(lines) with an appropriate font.
I'm trying to create an xorg.conf file. I've used Xorg :1 -configure and Xorg -configure in the console but i keep on getting the same error message.
FATAL: Module fbcon not found. Number of created screens does not match the number of detected devices. Configuration failed.
i'm using a fitpc2 in a network cabinet in my closet. I've got a lilliput 7" usb monitor plugged into it. for the most part it all works fine, however on some reboots fbcon gives the primary gfx card the fb device and the lilliput ceases to display the console. its really rather odd.. the udlfb module loads and displays some booting messages but right after it loads the stupid gma500 and reassigns the /dev/fb0 to it, so your just left with the last frame in the buffer i suppose on the lilliput
if i login blindly and startx, the display comes back to life, but while in X the display isn't updated for any of the ttys when switched to them via ctrl-alt-F1 etc.. and again, sometimes it works sometimes is doesn't..
i'm curious if there is a way to force fbcon to use the udlfb device as its primary and either ignore the gma500 on boot or set it to a secondary. i don't really want to get rid of the ability to use the onboard video, i'm just not going to unless the box is so far gone i need to use an actual monitor..
debian 7.4
Boot up with 2.6.32 kernel. Get to login screen, X attempts to start and fails. I log in, execute startx and succeed. Yesterday, could not boot up at all with .30 kernel. Upgraded to .32, so partially fixed. Yesterday also un-installed Synaptics package, as do not have touch-pad on this machine (Thinkpad X40)

I have Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome. Whenever I put in a blank CD/DVD an icon on the desktop appears named "Blank CD/DVD" and a window appears asking me what I want to do with it. How do I disable the window and the icon from the desktop?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm noticing that the performance for FreeNX Server under Fedora Core 14 is really bad. The screen refreshing is painfully slow. I'm thinking maybe the issue is related to the use of opengl in the X driver? how I can disable opengl entirely, so that the X server is only using 2d rendering?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI often use the key combination ctrl + shift + F10 in my editor, and sometimes I mistakenly hit ctrl + alt + F10 which instantly transports me to a black screen with nothing but a cursor resulting in my having to reboot. I have no idea what the purpose of this key binding is but I want to get rid of it. I have looked in 'keyboard shortcuts' but there is none listed for ctrl + alt + F10. How do I disable this once and for all?

I'm running fedora 10 with enabled desktop effects on an ati card. It seems to have included an effect similar to OS Xs active corners and expose where the top right corner gives me an overview of every window. I have ccsm installed and tried to disable every feature enabled but it doesn't seem to come from there.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI came across the following method of how to permanently disabling selinux and it's notifications. Although changing enforcement from the gui into permissive mode does most of the job, the notifications still pop-up when some applications are started.
So to disable it do the following:
open terminal as root and execute:

And then change the SELINUX line to SELINUX=disabled

This is it. Now reboot the system and selinux will never bother you again.
If you are not a Fedora user and you are using this forum just because we are cooler here then you will not find the /etc/selinux/config as in the fedora releases. What you need to do is to edit the kernel boot line and add selinux=0 at the end:

But I found it always hibernate automatically in a certain time .(In fact , I don't know what's the differences between hibernate or suspend. So I call this hibernate instead.)

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Kore Controller from Native Instruments [URL] using it as a sound card on Fedora 12. Its input knobs are supported by Linux, too, but they are pretty useless for me.It came out that these input knobs send mouse movements from time to time, letting my mouse pointer jumping to the upper left corner of the screen.
So I want to disable the knobs, i.e. I want X to not interpret these "knob actions" as mouse movements. What is the best way to achive this? Can I disable it somewhere in HAL configuration or do I have to modify xorg.conf? And how do I do this?Simply plugging out the Kore Controller is not an option for me because I use it as sound card.
When I plug in a USB camera I have gthumb-importer kicking in, I don't like it and would like to disable this.I have checked everything I could, google, man page, the gthumb package itself (pre/post script) gthumb schema (/etc/gconf/schemas/gthumb.schemas) but I could not figure out how
to disable this thing. Did anybody figure this out ?

Can somebody tell me how to disable apic in the grub? I've already edited the grub text file and added "noapic" in the kernel line. Now is there something similar to "sudo update-grub" that I have to run (I ask because it's not saving when I reboot)? I know in ubuntu you have to run that command in order for the changes to the text file to take place in the grub. Is there a command similar to that for Fedora?

how to disable gstreamer???? (and be able to re-enable it also?) i don't want to totally remove gstreamer - as it is required by alot of software. however, when i am using
proaudio apps with low-latency having gstreamer enabled is a problem. this is because ( i think ) that my crappy intel-hda (STAC9200) only has one sub-device, while many other cards have multiple.
so when gstreamer is there, i will get more xruns, and a nasty message in dmesg, something along the lines of "intel-hda switching to polling mode". overall performance of the card will suck. BUT! if gstreamer is NOT there, i can run low-latency(2ms) with pretty much no xruns(jackd). the only time i get the odd one is if i am switching drum banks in a wine VST.
well, i remove pulseaudio when i install Fedora, gstreamer doesn't work properly after that, you can't use rhythmbox, or anything. but you will get much better latencies and generally the card is very useful. ie: i can manipulate many sounds/samples/synths in realtime, or actually record in ardour with a decent load...
My laptop is Dell Inspiron 1440 with Dell wireless. I use broadcom-wl on Fedora 13 and it works fine. Last week I updated Fedora including the kernel from 2.6.34.6-47 to 2.6.34.6-54, Fedora can not "see" wireless anymore (there is no item related wireless on the right-click menu of the Network Manager icon, of course I can not connect to Internet via wireless)
