RE: [SLE] Xfree86 4.0 and Nvidia HELP!

I don't know what signal 11 means, but I just went through this w/ my riva TNT card, so this is just based on my experience. I don't know if it would be any different w/ a Geforce2 card. Which nvidia drivers are you using? I used build .94. It worked better when I installed them from the tarballs (rather than from the source RPMs). Have you made sure that the Nvidia driver is loaded? Do /sbin/lsmod and see if the driver is there. If not try /sbin/insmod Nvdriver. Also, if your card is an AGP card you probably need the AGP driver agpgart.o. You can check for this and load it the same way. You should have renamed or removed any installed Mesa files (i.e. libGLcore.a) before you installed the nvidia OpenGL driver You also need to add Load "glx" in the 'Section "Module"' of your XF86Config file. There is also an excellent step-by-step guide for the nvidia drivers at: http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/00q3/000811/index.html Hope it helps!

Hello, I am running 4.01, with the 2.2.16-SMP kernel. All this talk about VMWare got me curious, so I checked it out last night. I just had time to load win98, but I'll try Win2kpro this weekend. So far so good. AND this is on a reiserfs! Here are some screenshots: http://www.heronet.2y.net/snap Sorry, they are big...

[SLE] raw mail addresses allowed?

Hi, I have a new server being set up which only has an ip address. I try to send mail to zentara(a)203.134.23.789 and the mail is returned saying "hostname not found". Is there a special syntax to send to a raw address, or isn't it allowed?

Re: [SLE] samba
by heroron＠yahoo.com 01 Sep '00

Also, (there sure are alot of also's with Samba...) Look in the /usr/doc/samba for examples. Somewhere in there, you will find some .reg files. For windoze9x, if you choose not to use encrypted passwords, you can run the regedit XXXXX.reg file on the win machine to enable plain text passwords. This will prevent you from having to have an smbpasswd entry for each user. Most people opt for the plain text, as it is easiest to maintain. You still have to have a shell account for each user, though...

[SLE] Partition Magic
by stu＠forres.co.uk 01 Sep '00

01 Sep '00

Hi, As SuSe 7.0 is imminent, I thought that I would free up a 12G partition and load mandrake 7.1 to have a look. What it did whilst sorting out its own partition is address the SuSe 6.4 partitions as well. When I used Partition magic to have a look at my disks post install, the Mandrake partitions were OK as Linux Ext2. However, the separate SuSe /boot /swap /root partions now appeared to be merged into 1 partition of the T85 variety. What is a T85 filesystem? On running suse everything is ok and it recognises the old partion setup I had and boots and runs fine. Not to impressed with mandrake though - failed to install at the X-windows stage :) Stu -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
