If you are having trouble with this combination (Fedora 11, nVidia 6150, Acer AL1916W, biostar MCP6B M2+), like resolution less than 1440x900, try setting your xorg.conf (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) file like below. It worked for me.

Note: I downloaded the driver below from nVidia's site and installed  it after installing Fedora 11.

Trouble compiling pgadmin from the source

I tried to compile pgadmin from the source (http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin3/release/v1.8.4/src/) but had trouble with it

After running ./configure at the source folder I get this error:

    Could not find your libxml2 installation. You might need to use the --with-libxml2=DIR configure option

Although I knew the libxml2 is there. It must be related with configuration script. I did not want to waste time debugging the script and found an rpm to install directly from it.

Install pgadmin3 from an rpm (Working solution)

http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/8.3/fedora/fedora-10-i386/pgadmin3-1.8.4-1.f10.i386.rpm

Just download the rpm and run it.

Note:
This package worked on Fedora 11
Linux 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i586 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

For older Fedora versions

If you have other version of Fedora or different CPU you can check other packages here

http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/8.3/fedora/

We gathered as the project team for the last mission on last Saturday. I do not think I am ever going to see them again. Last two years were really tough for me. I worked and went to school at nights. This is a real relief even though I have a project to finish in front of me.
