[CentOS] Desktop Effects -- questions/issues
Hi! I finally tried enabling the desktop effects yesterday. I'm using an old Nvidia card (GeForce 4 MX440) with, of course, Nvidia's drivers. this is on a fully updated Centos 5 system. Enabling from the gnome menu doesn't exactly work compltely, one needs to google around a bit to find out the remaining magic incantations to make it fully work. So, I've done that and it's working. Issues: 1. I notice that the text in the bar at the top of each window appears to be a different font, and it is outlined in black. Is there any way to tweak that setting? 2. If I have a window that is slid partially off the edge of an individual desktop it now oveerlaps the edge of the one "next" to it, when it never did before. Not sure if I like that or not, is there any way to change that behavior should I decide I don't like it? 3. I have (and always have had) the panel settings set to "autohide". I now notice that it sometimes does not hide itself until I explicitly click in an empty part of the panel, then somewhere else on the desktop. Anyone know if there's a way to resovle this? Question: Should I decide I want to revert to the way it was before I enabled these effects, how would I go about that? there is no "disable" button on the gnome menu, only the "enable" button. I know how to un-do the changes I made manually in the xorg.conf file, but no idea how to undo whatever it is that the "enable desktop effects" button does. Clues would be appreciated.

[CentOS] USB Wireless device for CentOS?
I need to get a wireless device for an upcoming trip (USB is preferable to PCMCIA for a long list of reasons) and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with or recommendations for such items, particularly which ones work with Linux/CentOS. Right now I'm debating between a reasonably cheap Belkin 54G and a slightly more expensive Netgear 54G.

If not, send an email to their Sales or Tech Support Department and ask which chip they use in the unit(s) you are considering. So far, I don't think we've ever had a failure, with anything from Netgear, but other companies make good products too. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Or will it allow all 8 Gig to be used if setup correctly between main dom and virt doms - rh I think if you're on an x64 bit platform you can use up to 8GB of ram for dom0 (well you need to leave enough for dom0, mine takes up about 600mb after a clean install, and if you allocate too much to domU, the server goes down - hard). What I was talking about is XenServer - the commercial product based on Xen now owned by citrix. They have a bare metal installer that installs a version of CentOS 5 and their version of Xen in about 10 minutes, and has a very nice windows based administrative console. Their free version XenServer Express only allows DomU to use up to 4GB of RAM collectivelly, and I believe only 4 VMs total. They also have fairly nice paravirtualized drivers for windows (although James' GPLPV drivers are catching up to them). I think I will run XenServer at home where I have a box with only 4GB of RAM, but for work, I'm probably going to go with CentOS 5.2 and Xen 3.2, since XenServer is too limiting, and I don't think it's worth shelling out $1k per box to get use of the other 3.5GB of RAM.

First, The Dom0 OS runs as a guest of the Xen hypervisor- it is just a guest that happens to have access to the PCI bus as well. The Xen hypervisor still controls what ram and CPU all domains including the Dom0, can see; if the xen kernel is limiting you to 4G ram total, that limit will apply in the Dom0 as well. Also, you are not going to be able to run a virtualization technology that uses the hardware virtualization support from within a Xen guest, even if that Xen guest happens to be the Dom0. The Xen hypervisor controls access to those instructions. You can run virtualization technologies that don't require HVM- OpenVZ and linux vserver will both work fine. Heck, you can do that within an unprivileged Xen DomU, but that won't help you if you want to run windows. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The host OS is most likely CentOS 5, and sees the whole 8GB (although it's not x64, so I'm guessing they use PAE or something.) It is PAE. If it's PAE, then I'm a bit confused, as they advertise it as "*Native 64-bit hypervisor:* Scalability and support for enterprise applications" I only need 8GB of ram support, and no other features that are offered in XenStandard, so it seems kind of a waste to pay $1k per server for that. If another virtualization technology was installed on that OS, you can get the use of the other 4GB, and if not, I can always run my apps on Dom0, although I'd prefer to not install too much stuff on Dom0.

Well I have up to 4GB of run windows and I can have the other 4GB for dom0, so if I can get OpenVZ or linux vserver running on there, I can use that to run my linux VM's. Doesn't openVZ require a different kernel? That would replace the Xen kernel wouldn't it? Or is there a way to custom compile Xen+OpenVZ kernel? I'm not too familiar with linux vserver, but my guess is you can't run it in Dom0 either... Russ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
