F11 new installation

[vaikz]

Just installed F11 successfully on my pc, wiping out Jaunty. And I have a lot of questions to ask since Fedora is very different on a debian base system. My pc is intel and using the intel graphics.

1. Can´t find xorg on /etc/X11/. I was able to read from fedora that it is not created by default, but you can create one. How can I tell what graphic driver Im using right now? And also it is possible to use 3d on intel graphics? I know its not that good but it least it will work.

2. How can I disable palimpsest from running automatically? I know its a bug but its very annoying.

3. Iḿ dual booting with xp, how can I add it to grub list?

4. installed mplayer but freezes every time I played something.

5. System update is slow, is there a work around on this?

6. Lastly, I noticed that thereś a firewall settings on the administration menu. Is the firewall installed and running by default? How can I turn it off?

Thanks in advance.

1. Try running system-config-display. If it isn't installed install it with

yum install system-config-display

2. The easiest way to avoid seeing those annoying messages is to select System > Preferences > Startup Applications and un-check Disk Notifications.
3. Depends on what partition XP is on. Generally this should work.

title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

4. Dunno
5. Have you installed yum-fastestmirror?

yum install yum-fastestmirror

That should help.
6. There should be a disable option there.

Thanks for the reply glennzo.

I already installed the system-config-display and its using the intel driver, not the vesa. But I was wondering if it will make difference if I configure the device on the xorg where I can set some settings like we did on the post on ubuntu forums ¨Jaunty Intel Graphics Performance Guide¨ ?

and my xp system on another HD, where this linux on my pata hd and my xp is on my first partition of my sata drive. Can you help me on this?

Running system-config-display --reconfig or X -configure should generate an xorg.conf file that you can play around with.

As for adding XP to the boot menu, start by posting the output of the command

/sbin/fdisk -l

and

cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
