looks like you left a few arguments out on the libjavaplugin.so. The full command is:

alternatives –install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so libjavaplugin.so /usr/java/latest/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so 100

Thanks!

Don’t be concerned it shouldn’t cause any issues.

I have to say thanks. I’ve had video/card problems on this box since I’ve migrated back to linux around June. Tried Fedora 10, Gentoo and now Fedora 11, spent months searching all the linux sites, driver site etc. Managed to figure outt a workaround to get high resolution but refresh was sluggish, things were crushing, images wouldn’t display in thumbnails, applications wouldn’t open in full screen without being tricked and forced, had to go back to Opera from Firefox, since it was the only application that seemed to work reasonably well.

I just spent several hours trying to install the ATI drivers using their installer without luck. I don’t think they support Fedora 11 or anything after Feb this year for the X1200 series, so it seemed pointless trying fglrx after that. Was going to try radoen or radonhd but couldn’t find the full name of the files to yum until I found your site.

I do have a question though. As per your suggestion I installed radonhd then ran system-config-display (less the -reconfig option as it wasn’t recognised). I changed my hardware from the ATI driver to radonhd. Then I looked at my xorg.conf file. The driver was already “radonhd” so I didn’t need to change that, however the options were “ModeValidation” “NoEditDFPMaxSizeCheck”. I wasn’t sure if this was required to remain, I wasn’t sure if I could just add “DRI” “True” at the end of the line, or create another option on a line of it’s own so I didn’t change xorg.conf at all. I then corssed my fingers and restarted x. Everything is working perfectly, no issues at all as yet, for this I thank you, however I am concerned if my deviation from your full instructions will cause some other problem for me.

If you have a 2.6.29 Kernel you need to apply the kernel patch available at the Broadcom url mentioned above. ( to check kernel version use “uname -r”). Sometimes (especially in Ubuntu ) the interface eg. wlan0 is not created which you may have to do manually. PS 9.04 already has wl driver so you don’t require this guide.

Didn’t work. It loads module wl, but there is no device in iwconfig or ifconfig or nm-applet. Even -a to ifconfig changes nothing. I think I must stay with ndiswrapper.
