I can find xorg-x11-drv-openchrome-0.2.901-1 for EL5, but not the current xorg-x11-drv-openchrome-0.2.903-1 (which only goes from FC8 on). Since my OQOs have the CX700M2 chip and there are listed enhancements for this chip in the 903 version, I would really like to get it...

I do have everything to get Freemind 0.8.1 working on Centos. I had to pull together a number of pieces for that. Of course, who wants Freemind... But I have been working very hard of late on HIPL (HIP for Linux), doing the Centos testing for the HIPL team. Just need a place to put them. I would really like to get the IPsec BEET mode patch working in the 2.6.18 kernel already. A large part of installing FC10 was to get BEET 'native' in the 2.6.27 kernel. I figure if I can show HIPL working in FC10, I can get a bug report into Redhat to get the BEET patch included in 2.6.18. This will probably take me a couple months to pull off. Along the way, I am working on getting the BEET Internet Draft finished as an RFC, and moving the HIP RFCs from Experimental to Standards track (this will probably take 6 months). Along the way, I am finding ALL sorts of challenges. Particularly since I am sticking to IPv6. So I find that gFTP crashes over IPv6 using SSH, and no response to this problem from the gFTP developers. SIP-Communicator is finally supporting IPv6. It may be a 'forget it' for IPv6 and vnc, but TightVNC has been demonstrated to run via LSIs over HIP over IPv6 (LSI is IPv4 equiv addresses for v4 apps in HIP). Found out, though that there is no TightVNC for FC10 yet, and may not be until FC11 according to one wiki. So I am having 'fun' here. Too much cruft to plow through. I SHOULD only be working with HIPL right now, but there is so much surronding stuff to sort out as well, mostly IPv6 related.> start by looking at the code, where it came from, who are the people > involved with it, who is writing it, who is releasing it, then work out > what the requirements for the software are, and if centos provides those > requirements. once you have that info - make a decision or talk to > people on options, and follow one through.First I ask to see if anyone else knows about what is available. Maybe my search terms are missing. Next I get on their mailing list and ask around there. Then I queue this up with all the other tasks surronding my HIPL project and see where it will fall in....

Right now you have to run HIPL in userspace, because of the ipsec BEET mode issue. I need to find time to get the patch to the 2.6.18 kernel working, and then to keep it current...>> Along the way, I am finding ALL sorts of challenges. Particularly since >> I am sticking to IPv6.

It works just fine over IPv4 as a nice GUI tool to an SSHD. But it just crashes when you run it over IPv6. I would really like to have a GUI for SSH file transfers over IPv6.>> So I am having 'fun' here. Too much cruft to plow through.

I have LOTS that is not working. Also such joys as ignoring TTLs and keeping dns resolutions cached (which kills testing native IPv6 to the app over HIP). One thing I am working with is a 'test' IPv6 dns domain. I now have the pieces to bring up a copy of BIND on a system that will be a caching server for the test system and provide a .test TLD for working out IPv6ish challenges.>> First I ask to see if anyone else knows about what is available.

Right now I have them on my local repo.
