I've tried to put 11.4 and KDE3 on a spare laptop, and had issues trying to configure the wireless, and add mp3, etc to sound. Can those parts of the install instructions be expanded ? Telling us specifically what to add from the KDE 3.5 for stating up a wireless connection, and for the best process to add KDE3 mp3 support would be very helpful. -- Robert Smits bob@rsmits.ca I admire him, I frankly confess it; and when his time comes I shall buy a piece of the rope for a keepsake.

for wireless, just forget about network manager and get wic-d. set up the network in yast for *not using* networkmanager, config your wirelss card and fire up wicd. it works better than windoze:) it works great with kde3 and i think kde4. d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

Wireless works well with knetworkmanager for me. On the other hand, when configured with Yast it does not assign default gateway each first attempt after reboot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

So, I should just install knetworkmanager-kde3? Any other stuff that should also be installed here? -- Robert Smits bob@rsmits.ca Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your home...David Frost -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

Either configure wireless with Yast2 wireless module or with knetworkmanager-kde3 In later case you would have to enable hald service in Yast.

You can also try kde3-wlassistant http://storage1.static.itmages.ru/i/11/1016/h_1318713164_4400816_0ddaa984fa.... But I think knetworkmanager-kde3 is the best choice. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

Previously I tried to follow the guides that install KDE3 without KDE4, and found it a little tricky. What I did this time was to install OpenSuse 11.4 64 bit, do all the updates, do the sound mods with a oneclick install, get all the KDE4 networking going, and then added the 11.4 KDE3 repo and the LibreOffice Stable repo. Then I added KDE3 with YAST and edited /etc/sysconfig for windowmanager and displaymanager. That got me a laptop with OpenSuse 11.4, KDE3 and KDE4, although I only use KDE3. Sound and amarok worked, too. The only thing that still bugs me is that the KDE4 Network manager doesn't start up by itself. I have to go to system, control applets, and then click on knetwork manager. It starts and my wireless connection works.

What does the hald service do? I did enable it.

I use the KDE4 program synaptiks under KDE3 to switch off the touchpad, but I need to keep on my computer its very old version (0.2.0), because the newer versions do not contain any executable file in /usr/bin. I am afraid, sooner or later this old version will finally will not work at all (as it happened with ksynaptics). Maybe, somebody knows, if it is possible to launch somehow such a newer version of synaptiks under KDE3? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

IMHO you can try to use ksynaptics. To utilize it you would have to 1) make changes to xorg.conf (it will tell you what to write there) 2) load discrete synaptics driver (support for touchpad has been moved to kernel, but you need a separate driver for ksynatics, and such driver can be found in OBS AFAIK). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
