Does it make any difference if mutt is compiled with '--with-gnutls'
enabled or with '--with-openssl' enabled.
Mutt (Fed20/21/Rawhide package) shows that '--with-gnutls' is used.
I ask because I have no problem connecting to my ISP Ziggo
with mutt when using Fedora.

Reading about the 3.12 kernels I noticed that there should now
be 'dynamic' power management for laptops with an Optimus design
(DIS Nvidia + IGD Intel).
It is not quite clear what I should expect from the patches:
drastic power down for the nautilus driver or complete switching

I already asked this in the mail "Schrödinger▊s & Schr?dinger?s"

Why does the "unicode bug" get expressed in 2 different ways
on 2 different laptops:

On a Lenovo Thi
What can explain this difference?

Both the same default Fed19 installs with standard default startup and
grub screens. Can for example hardware (Optimus(Intel Ivybridge +
Nvidia) vs
Intel Sandybridge) make the difference.

Is anybody using vgaswitcheroo with Optimus(Intel/Nvidia) in

Does it work?
Does it work dependably?

I am using the 'bbswitch' module to disable the nvidia card

I removed nouveau permanently by blacklisting and then running dracut.
I compiled bbswitch with 'dkms' and then added the following:

When starting up Fed17 a number of 'sockets' get created in
/tmp/at-spi2. The same when starting apps.
However these sockets are not removed when closing the apps
or shutting down Fed17.
So the number of these sockets keeps increasing.
Is this normal behaviour or should I file a bug?

I am trying to get both trackpoint and touchpad of the Lenovo
T520 UltraNav working, preferably at the same time as under Windows 7.
cat /proc/bus/input/devices shows:
- SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad
- TPPS/2 IBM Trackpoint
After install of F15 the trackpoint works but not the touchpad.

I ask because using Fed15/Gnome3 not all keys on the following laptops
(Dell Inspiron 1764 and Dell Vostr 3750) work.
For example the key to switch on/off the touchpad. It does not work
and also does not provide any 'notification'.
However using Ubuntu 11.04 all keys do work on the Inspiron 1764.
I see that there are some rpm's that contain the name Dell
in the title, like:
- firmware-addon-dell
- yum-dellsysid
The description does not contain enough information to
judge what these packages do.
Are these packages supplied bij Dell themselves for use
with Dell servers sold with Red Hat Linu

I am looking at 2 laptops with an Alps touchpad and Fedora 15 + Gnome 3:
1) Dell Inspiron 1764 with Intel Core i5-430M
2) Dell Vostro 3750 with Intel Core i5-2410M (Sandy Bridge)
1) is almost 2 years older than 2) so I suspect the same goes
for the Alps Electric touchpad.
On both laptops the Alp
