Fedora at Virginia Tech
==Wacom Driver==
The Wacom driver "xorg-x11-drv-wacom" works well under Fedora. On a Fujitsu T4215, I have the pen functions working great, including all of the buttons. In case it isn't installed, here's the code to install it:
 
<pre>
su -
yum install xorg-x11-drv-wacom
</pre>
 
==Restricted Repos==
The restricted repos in Fedora have been more or less combined into one source called RPMFusion. There are versions for stable, testing, and rawhide. Below is the code to set up the stable versions of the free and non-free versions.
 
<pre>
su -
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
</pre>
 
The only notable exception to the non-free repo is libdvdcss, which is available at www.videolan.org
==VT Wireless==
To get wireless configured, follow the NetworkManager instructions in the [[VT-Wireless]] article.
==Flash x64Annoying padding in Gnome==With the initial install, there's a lot of empty space between icons in the Gnome panels. While it's good for user interface design by increasing the amount of space around icons to prevent mistakes, it drives me nuts. Here's the code to restore it back to normal (no padding). <pre>gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons truegconftool-2 --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons truegconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel/padding 0gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel/padding 0gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/panel/applets/systray/prefs/padding 0</pre>
