SUSEHELP / RANDR ---------------- The README FOR susehelp talks of a lifesaver icon, I don't have one. I had seen it in the past but not on this version of the OS with my setup. If I try to start susehelp from the command line I get this error: Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". Could not initialize gecko! If I click on "Help" under system on the favorites area, it doesn't bring up any help nor does any other application that tries to use help. XIMERAMA / RANDR ---------------- The randr error as far as I can tell is from using Ximerama and/or native NVIDIA driver which I need to do since I have 4 monitors and the setup will not work without the NVIDIA drivers. The monitors are arranged in an inverted "T", 3 across the bottom and one above the middle bottom monitor. XIMERAMA / NEW ITEM DESKTOP PLACEMENT ------------------------------------- XOrg is assuming that the top left of the setup I have is in a place I have no monitor. In other words it's assuming I have 6 monitors. The upshot is that when I mount a drive or something else that places an item on my desktop, I don't see it because it's at a place is not part of my desktop. XIMERAMA / Taking a snapshot of the screen ------------------------------------------ If I use the print screen button it works. However, if I use Alt+PrtScn all as I get is black but I don't get the camera shutter sound. X11 and Progressive Slowness ---------------------------- This happens over days and I suspect there is some list that keeps building ad infinitum that something has to sift through before sending an event to my displays. Essentially, mouse clicks, focus between applications and such things just becomes slowly less and less responsive. The problem is I have no idea how to give you information on what's going on internally to cause this. Doing an init 3 and then an init 5 fixes it. I.e.: just dropping X11 so it comes up clean. More info. on the problem ------------------------- I tried the forums first, here is my path down that track: http://forums.opensuse.org/forums/english/get-technical-help-here/applicatio... You'll notice more details in the above link such as how the auto-detect is useless for my monitor setup -- it detects 1 out of 4 correctly and only 2 in total. More info. about my system -------------------------- I'm running a quad core q9400 Intel processor at 2.66 GHz with and 8GB of RAM on a x64_86 system. All my monitors go into a video switch and then out to my monitors. This means no digital auto-detect information is available.

The search at your software.opensuse.org has very annoying and obvious bugs. For example search for "help" and susehelp will come up, search for "susehelp" and it will not (using opensuse 11.2" as a filter). Additionally it can't handle dashes and probably not dots either, but probably will work with underscores from memory. I'm not sure where to report this so whoever gets this would you please pass it on to the right people.
