Pretty boot with Nvidia on Fedora 10 Beta?



Currently, only Radeon R500 and higher users will get kernel modesetting by default. There is work in progress to provide modesetting for R100 and R200. Additionally, Intel kernel modesetting drivers are in development, but not turned on by default.

I managed to get a pretty graphical boot from Plymouth only using vga=0x318 on grub line with Nvidia Geforce 7800GS using latest rawhide update (it already got Fedora 10 Beta). I don't know how to grab a screenshot from boot.

Just added some Plymouth plugins, the pretty boot is gone. Apparently, current Nvidia xorg-drv-nv does not support them

Sun's promise to open source Java vs GCJ

According to this Press Release via OS News , it appears Sun Microsystems allow the redistribution of their Java development for Linux distributions under a new license called Operation System Distributor's License for Java or in short "Distro License for Java". Currently, only binaries are licensed as the source code is not available for the public although SUN promise to open source Java . I wonder if that announcement will affect the whole GCJ on which Fedora Project is focusing. Pour les francophones: Selon cette note de presse via OS News, Sun Microsystems permet la redistribution des binaires Java pour les distribution de Linux sous la nouvelle license nomm&ecaute;e License des distros pour Java . Je me demande si cette annonce affectera le développement de GCJ.
