Help! I am evangelizing and have installed SUSE 7.1 on a friend's PISMO Powerbook. She is almost converted, but I need to fix a few things before she joins the flock.... ;-)
*I want to get X4 running with acceleration. So far, X3 is loaded by default and a little play with SaX2 hasn't been much fun :-( Does anyone have any XFConfig tips that will work in 7.1?
Go in runlevel 3, try sax2 -af and do a reboot (I know, reboot sounds ugly but it helps to make sure that the framebuffer does not get confused). Then try again X. If needed use sax2 again for color etc. ...
*The hardware clock is set about 5hrs early. I have been into YaST 1 and changed it to local time, NOT GMT, and to TIMEZONE=Japan (where we live), but still the clock after boot is wrong.
Set the correct time, and do the following as root: hwclock --systohc Then delete the file /etc/adjtime . Does this help?
*How do you stop the damn trackpad from acting as a mouse button? The slightest press of the trackpad opens and closes windows and it's very annoying. She is running KDE2.
*What are the power saving options in SUSE 7.1? APM doesn't seem to be installed by default.
No, it is a black whole at the moment :-(
*Is a Zip expansion bay supported? Is this a simple set up procedure like an external USB Zip drive is? Advice would be much appreciated.
Should work if you add another entry in the /etc/fstab which fits the situation ...
Are there any known issues with the PISMO and SUSE?
No
Thanks very much for your help.
