Paulo, I was 0-2 in testing the things you asked about on my F9 system. With the cdfs package I had a couple of issues. First, when installing the package using 'rpm' the system complained about needing /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.3-18.fc9. On my system at least there is a .i686 at the end of this file. I then tried installing the package with the '--nodeps' option and then merged the kernel module into the proper spot. When I tried the mount command the system didn't complain and successfully mounted a CD, but below is a sample output of an 'ls -l' command: (I tried a couple of different CD's) total 0 prw------- 1 jrw jrw 0 2008-05-31 13:29 track-01.wav prw------- 1 jrw jrw 0 2008-05-31 13:29 track-02.wav prw------- 1 jrw jrw 0 2008-05-31 13:29 track-03.wav prw------- 1 jrw jrw 0 2008-05-31 13:29 track-04.wav prw------- 1 jrw jrw 0 2008-05-31 13:29 track-05.wav prw------- 1 root root 0 2008-05-31 13:29 track-06.wav prw------- 1 root root 0 2008-05-31 13:29 track-07.wav prw------- 1 root root 0 2008-05-31 13:29 track-08.wav prw------- 1 root root 0 2008-05-31 13:29 track-09.wav As far as the nvidia 173 drivers from the ATrpms repo, I had more serious issues. I have been using the 173 version drivers from freshrpms and they have been working great (3D acceleration included). However, I would prefer to stick with ATrpms, which is what I have always used in the past, so this was a good chance to test them out. Unfortunately I didn't get very far. I uninstalled the package from freshrpms, and then used yum to install the packages from ATrpms. When I rebooted my system X would not start at all. Below is the tail end of the Xorg.0.log file from the failed attempt: (II) NVIDIA(0): Initialized GPU GART. (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "nvidia-auto-select" (II) Loading extension NV-GLX (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA 3D Acceleration Architecture Initialized (EE) NVIDIA(0): Need libwfb but wfbScreenInit not found Fatal server error: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0 Even when I uninstalled the nvidia packages and went back to the freshrpms package I was still having this problem. I found that the libwfb.so was missing from my system. I had to reinstall the xorg-x11-server-Xorg package in order to get this file back, and then X started working again. I don't know if the nvidia packages from ATrpms were completely the cause of this issue because I had tried several things with the nvidia drivers when I first installed F9 on this system, which was before the working drivers came out. In any case, I think I will stick with the freshrpms package, at least for the short term. Other than that, in general the packages from the ATrpms repo for F9 are working fine (mythtv, vlc, xmms, etc.) John _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
