			== Cyborg R.A.T. 5 mouse ==

			Got a new mouse recently (the old one was unsatisfactory, despite being expensive), which turned out to have issues with Linux. Doh.

			The X11 desktop did not recognize mouse clicks roughly 30% of the time.

			This could be fixed by Googling as per [http://matt-linux-log.blogspot.com/2010/10/saitek-cyborg-rat-in-linux.html] (basically add <pre>pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 0 0 0</pre> to your <tt>/etc/X11/Xmodmap</tt>).

			== Legacy OSS games ==

			I like to play ut2004, which uses OSS (and OSS via ALSA), which does not play nice with pulse-audio (no sound).

			Installing <tt>alsa-plugins-pulseaudio</tt> and setting <tt>alsaunmute</tt> did not solve that problem again:-(

			It was also neccessary to activate the following kernel modules by uncommenting a line in <tt>/etc/modprobe.d/dist-oss.conf</tt>:

			<pre>
			install snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm && /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-device && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss

= Download =

Via one of the ftp mirrors. Burn to DVD, done.

= Basic install =

As with my [[Fedora 13 Linux|previous installation]], I did not do an update but a complete reinstall. I just scraped the FC13 installation, keeping the home-directories and manually installed software.

Installation worked nice, restore of the home-dirs and setup was more or less ok except for one BIG FAT BUG:

== kmod-nvidia broken ==

See [https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1469 rpmfusion bugzilla 1469], [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623742 Fedora bugzilla 623742], [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624297 624297], and [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=627720 627720].

This is a mess and should not happen.
