Speaking of screen resolution and such, last night, I installed 8.2 on my
moms system (an slightly older model Aptiva, ~3 years old maybe, P-3 667MHz
or something like that), alongside her windoze partition. The install went
quite well, and I decided to use 800x600 resolution at first, but when I
started to open a few apps, noticed that it was hard to see the 'close' or
'apply' buttons and such at the bottom right-hand side of some of them, so I
opened up SaX2 and set the resolution to 1024x768. This had the ill affect of
making the cursor 'invisible'. I could move it around and see when it came on
top of a button or something in a menu, but the cursor itself could not be
seen. I tried to change the mouse (YaST2 on installation caught it as an M$
intelli mouse ps-aux (?)), but it made no difference, it remained invisible.
Once I set the resolution back to 800x600, the cursor is back visible.
Anyone else had this problem or know a quick fix? I have to bring my
external modem over to her house to hook up to her system so I can get the
updates and 3D drivers, but that won't be for at least a few days. Maybe
that's all it needs, is the updates and/or the nvidia drivers?

I needed fresh bugs for my SuSE gecko,
and Linux penguin. So I went out and
caught this huge ugly blue and red
and green and yellow butterfly.
They won't need fresh food for 3 months now.
