Miscellaneous Installs

• Planet CCRMA [see home page -- yum install planetccrma-apps is working as of 2/6/08]
• yum install perl-XML-Twig [needed by Rosegarden]
• Tarball install of pd-qext-0.1.tar.gz
• yum install q-devel [needed by Rosegarden]
• yum install gtk-recordmydesktop [to make a video of a demo - this never worked]
• sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run to install free proprietary NVIDIA driver for the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 hardware on the HP Pavilion. This had to be done with the X server not running, which I did by changing the line ``id:5:initdefault:'' in /etc/inittab to ``id:3:initdefault:'' and rebooting. (Just exiting X with ctrl-alt-backspace did not pick up the new desired runlevel -- I expect there is an easier way to exit X and login to a console, but that's the best I've got for now). Note that the installation had to be repeated after a kernel upgrade from version 2.6.23 to 2.6.24 (the kernel interface needed to be rebuilt). The symptom was that the nvidia driver specified in /etc/X11/xorg.conf could not be loaded, and I had to revert back temporarily to the default driver nv (which happens if you let the system autoconfigure for you).
