As root:

ln -s /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop \
/usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/

Logout.
The properties window is shown when gdm restarts.
Here's a new way to do the same thing, but easier:

xhost +local:gdm
sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties
xhost -local:gdm


After installing Arduino 1.0.1 (from the source on arduino.cc) I get these errors running the IDE:

Experimental: JNI_OnLoad called.

Native lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7
Java lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7
check_group_uucp(): error testing lock file creation Error details:Permission deniedcheck_lock_status: No permission to create lock file.
please see: How can I use Lock Files with rxtx? in INSTALL


Following the advice here: http://www.harald-hoyer.de/personal/blog/fedora-17-boot-optimization-from-15-to-3-seconds
yum install systemd-analyze
Gave up :-(
Too complicated to change grub2 configuration

The NVIDIA drivers work, but you have to change some BIOS settings:
Config > Display > Graphics Device = Discrete Graphics
Config > Display > OS Detection for NVIDIA Optimus = Disabled
Security > Virtualization > Intel (R) VT-d Feature = Disabled

After installing VMware 7.1.6, the vmmon module will not load. I found a solution that works.
If this has not been done already:

sudo yum install gcc kernel-devel kernel-headers autoconf

Then, as root, run:

# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

Now you should be able to start the vmware service

Here's how to add the TrueType fonts I found from opentype to my Fedora desktop

So you have the right idea, unfortunately this vehicle is a bit unique. This is because the Body Control Module is responsable for unlocking the doors AND receiving the RKE key fob commands so there is no reason for there to be a CAN BUS message to control the locks on this using the RKE messages. So don't bother with pressing the key fob and trying to find a command to replicate, this won't work.

HOWEVER, OnStar has a message it sends to control the locks. So you can simply watch for that message:
Unlock Drivers Door is: 0x1024E097 00 02 FF
Unlock All Doors is: 0x1024E097 00 03 FF
