SuSE 9.2, KDE 3.3, nVidia - fonts too large!
by Kristian Ashton 05 Dec '04

Hi all, I have just installed SuSE 9.2 on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 8600 with nvidia GeForce 5200 Go). Initially I set up X11 with the "nv" driver (no 3D support) for a resolution of 1680x1050...all looked perfect. I then upgraded to the "nvidia" driver (incl. 3D support) and suddenly all of the fonts in KDE are huge ! I can set them to a smaller size...but they are still too large and some screens seem to ignore my settings and just display massive fonts! I am assuming that this has something to do with the proper nvidia driver ? Has anyone experienced this and found a fix?

printing landscape document
by Mario Streiber 04 Dec '04

04 Dec '04

Hi all, I have a document (PS) in landscape orientation and want to print it on my HP LJ6L, but no matter what I do I can't rotate the printout so that it comes out in portrait orientation on the paper. I use kprinter as print program, but changing the orientation in the properties dialog doesn't change anything. Just for completeliness: I print from inkscape, print command line in the program is configured as "| kprinter". I can print to a file, load it into gv, change the orientation there, but still it is printed in landscape and doesn't fit on the paper. Regards Mario

KDM problem with 9.2 and KDE 3.3.1
by Jake Sallee 03 Dec '04

I have something not working right in KDE. On the console, the KDM login screen will not show up. All I get is the background image. This is only on the console because I can still login via VNC. Any suggestions? -- Jake Sallee spark(a)breathdedeeply.com www.breathedeeply.com Registered Linux User #358012 http://counter.li.org

A friend has just announced his new blog: http://scottknitter.blog-city.com/ I cannot see it in Konqueror, but I can in firefox, opera, and galeon. Can anyone figure out why I can't see it in Konqi? -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery Time is the best teacher.

Gnome Application Appearance Under KDE
by Randall R Schulz 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

Hi, Yesterday I applied the latest round of supplementary KDE updates available for SuSE Pro. 9.1. Since that update, the appearance of Gnome applications run under KDE has changed--and not generally for the better, in my opinion: Buttons, borders, pseudo-3D effects, etc. all appear cruder now than they did before. Assuming this change and the general appearance of Gnome applications under KDE is configurable, how do I exercise that control? I went through the entire KDE Control Center and couldn't find anything. Must I log in to a Gnome session to set this up? I'm not a Gnome user and know very little about it, though, of course, I use several Gnome applications under KDE. Thanks in advance. Randall Schulz

by alexander teske 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

hi, today I have done a Yast-Online-Update on my system to get the newest patches. but now I can't do a Yast-System-Update. When I start Yast-System-Update I can select the updates, change the backup settings, but when I want to start the download and installation the window is closed and nothing is done. I don't know where the problem is, because since the latest update, their were no problems. thanks for help! alexander teske
