Which is not surprising since there is no package which provides
"state's.h".  However, the kernel-headers package provides
/usr/include/linux/stddef.h; you simply need to give a full path to
the file you're trying to find.

Have you any evidence for these statements.  Although I have yet to load
FC7 onto some of my older machines, when I have installed earlier
versions I have alwasy managed find with a non-GUI installation.

I would also think that recomending FC6 as better is not a good solution
- it will eventiually become unsecure as it becomes out of date.  BEtter
to work on solving any problems in FC7, that being forced to revert to
older versions.  Are you sure you are not just saying this becasue of
your sound card problems?

Gene,

Upgrade to Fedora 7, where gutenprint is properly packaged.

In Fedora 6, gutenprint was in Extras not Core -- and so had to be made
to co-exist with the older gimp-print package. (The discussion of why it
was this way has already been had, many times over, on
fedora-devel-list.)

gnome-terminal's uglification in Fedora 7

Whose bright idea was it to change gnome terminal (actually vte), so that 
spaces are no longer underlined?

$ echo -e '\e[4mHelp me\e[24m'

The two words get underlined, the space character does not.

Does anyone realize just how many terminal applications use underlines to 
visually indicate text-entry fields? Now, they all disappear, and everything 
looks like crap.

I can't think of any valid reason for this change in behavior, since xterm 
still gets it right -- the space character is underlined. I can't wait to 
hear what was the urgent reason for this change that uglifies so many 
existing terminal apps.

I wouldn't assume it was a deliberate decision. File a bug report.

Rahul, you take all the fun out of assuming the worst and slagging off
people who create free software for us.

Re: FC6 + fglrx + xgl + dualhead + 2 desktops problem

Sorry, but the problem is not beryl related.
The problem is with or without beryl installed/configured/loaded.

More help?

I had this problem back when first trying to install Linux (Severn, not 
sure which beta).

The problem was due to a USB legacy setting which was set active. USB 
legacy mode locked up my laptop like you are referring to.
I'm not sure if your BIOS would refer to it as USB legacy or USB 
keyboard. Anyway, having it set caused the laptop keyboard to not function.
