greets. a couple of little peculiarities in 8.2 here, both affecting things i need fairly regularly; i hope somebody here has figured out what i may have missed. the first is the opera browser. i installed the one which came with 8.2, and it worked but looked awful, in that it did not inherit anti-aliasing for some reason. i upgraded to 6.12 shared, which when it worked looked just great -- but it seldom would start, usually segfaulting on the last line of the opera script. i tried 6.12 static, which just plain looked *weird,* with a combination of anti-aliased and jagged typefaces. i reverted to the shared 6.03, which decided not to run at all. i tried the version shipped with 8.2 again, and now *it* segfaults at start. in each case i rpm -e'd the old one before installing the new. all i'm trying to do here is get some version of opera with anti-aliasing to run reliably. the second is my laserjet III-D. i installed it via yast, and the "hello, world" connection test is fine. the driver shipped, however, sends some data to the printer -- and then takes it offline! nothing is printed. it appears that there are two sets of printer drivers, one cups and one non-cups, with the distinction between them a little blurred. any ideas? thanks. -- dep http://www.linuxandmain.com -- outside the box, barely within the envelope, and no animated paperclip anywhere.
