MythTV on el6: tuner support
by John Pilkington
Hi: I've been happily using the ATrpms repo for more than 8 years, but
it feels like time to test the water over here.
I have a laptop now running under ScientificLinux 6.4, with kde 4.10.2
and Qt 4.8.4 from the kde-unstable repo, and MythTV 0.26.0-7.el6 from
rpmfusion. Some parts of the recent installation process weren't
planned, but to my surprise the system seems to be working well.
One part of the working system is still from Atrpms. MythTV under the
current SL6 kernel doesn't recognise the tuner - a PCTV 290e dvb-t/t2
usb device - so I'm running an earlier kernel with video4linux driver
package and kmdl from ATrpms; the last sync with linuxtv was in Nov 2011.
In browsing the rpmfusion repo I haven't recognised packages that might
provide this functionality. What am I missing?
Or do I need linuxtv.org/media_build?
TIA

nvidia 304.64
by John Pilkington
Hi: I've just moved my Fedora 17 box from ATrpms to rpmfusion. I had a
problem with OpenGL and nVidia 304.64, which I think I had seen before
with the ATrpms build but had worked around by reverting to 304.51
That's no longer easy. I'm using a GeForce 7500 LE card, not vdpau capable.
The packages as installed load modules from X.org instead of those from
nVidia. The driver seems ok after editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf like this:
Section "Files"
# ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/nvidia/xorg"
# ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1"
EndSection
as suggested here:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=286084
And I have another unrelated observation:
The '*config-smart-17-2.x86_64' package in nonfree-updates claims to
apply to nonfree but is named free and conflicts with the one in the
'free-updates' repo.
Cheers

libcuda for latest Fedora 18 updates
by Satz Klauer
Hi,
after installing the latest Fedora 18 updates libcuda no longer works,
Boinc tells me no GPU could be found. I of course reinstalled the
Nvidia-kmod-package (and as second try all other Nvidia-related
rpmfusion-packages) but that did not help.
So any idea what could be wrong here?
Thanks!

and not work out of the box or with rpmfusion's wl driver.
For now I have found this howto:

the wl driver work fine.
My question is: There is an official Fedora driver (embedded, akmod or
kmod) for this (bcp43142) wireless network card?
Thanks.

FCEUX 2.2.1
by Andrea Musuruane
Hi all,
I've just updated FCEUX to v2.2.1. It should appear soon in
rpmfusion-free-updates-testing. This is the first release that has LUA
scripting enabled thanks to a patch I found in Debian land. It also ships
for the first time fceux-net-server as a subpackage, allowing game
multiplaying.
Feedback welcome :)
Bye,
Andrea.

libfaad ???
by Alice Wonder
Hello list,
Many moons ago I use to use ffmpeg linked against libfaad to create .mp4
files using h.264 and aac.
It has been years, but now I need to do it again. It seems though that
the ffmpeg in rpmfusion is not linked against libfaad nor is libfaad
even in the repos.
Has the AAC encoder that ffmpeg uses changed or is aac just not
currently supported by the build in rpmfusion?
