I did last software update and system is now in use

After updating to Fedora 10 I also updated VDR to 1.6.0-2 and some plugins got updates as well. Current set is:

VDR 1.6.0-2

ttxtsubs-0.0.8

skinenigma-0.0.6

osdteletext-0.7.0

femon-1.6.1

epgsearch-0.9.24

xineliboutput-1.0.2

burn cvs

I also updated the intel video driver to git version from week 10 and added tearing free patch for textured video. The patch is now also included into the latest release candidate of intel video drive.

I had to add NoDRI option to xorg.conf to prevent X from crashing. There's something wrong with linking of the intel driver, but I couldn't find the exact problem, so this was the workaround for segfault. Xorg.conf file got also Option "HWCursor" "off" and Option "SWCursor" "off" lines to prevent mouse pointer from display.

I decided not to wait anymore for the suspend patch for the intel video, so I changed the system behaviour so that system does always power off when VDR is shutdown. This means that it takes 1,5 minutes from power button press to the TV picture, and that the system cannot be started with remote control. But anyway the system is now in use and if/when the suspend functionality is fixed I can update the driver and enable the S3 sleep again.

Update to Fedora 10

One thing that I've forgot to write about is the fact that I updated the OS to Fedora 10 in January. It was quite painless operation, but after the first boot the screen were just black with GRUB... text. So clearly there was something wrong in the GRUB.

With these instructions I got the Fedora to boot again. There was/is some packages that are still for Fedora 9, but most of them I updated after the OS update.
