Hello all,
Just received my copy of SuSE 9.2 Pro and completed a clean install on my
Toshiba Satellite 2435 laptop. For whatever reason, the laptop's touchpad was
not detected/installed correctly. Using the laptop has become extremely
difficult. The mouse opens *almost* every window and app that it trails over
and hardware clicking/tapping doesn't work. I don't recall what driver I've
used in the past with SuSE and this laptop--truth is, I never looked.
Currently I'm using the generic PS/2 Mouse (Aux-Port) driver as indicated in
the Hardware section of YaST's Control Center and the touchpad is somewhat
functional, albeit with irritating side effects. With previous versions of
SuSE the touchpad was detected/configured correctly and without my
intervention. Anyone using SuSE 9.2 with a similar machine?
Searches on SuSE's Support Portal turned up zero articles related to ALPS
Touchpad devices.
This is a snippet of dmesg, related to the mouse/touchpad:
------- SNIP -------

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello together,
After upgrading my SuSE 9.2 to KDE 3.3.2 I observe some strange behaviour
on new user accounts:
When opening a new konqueror (no matter whether openProfile filemanagement or
webbrowsing) I get on the left side of the konqueror window a toolbar called
"document relations"; to be correct: Dokumentenbeziehungen (Konqueror).
When I open konqueror twice, this tool bar doubles, triples, etc.... !!!!
Until the window is nearly full. I tried to attach a jpg showing this,
but unfortunately the file size is limited to 20.000 bytes.
It is really annoying. Is it a feature or a bug?
It only happens in new user accounts, accounts created under 3.3.1 and before
are not concerned.
Any ideas? Help is welcome..
Thanks and regards,
Udo
For the last couple of days I have been getting unwarranted messages from the
German ISP Freenet.de with the following subject line: "AutoReply: Vielen
Dank für Ihre Nachricht". It is basically a spam message showing links to
several pages of freenet.de, crafted as if it was a reply to some message of
mine asking for support.
My impression is that I receive those message every time I send a message to
this list, so I suspect that someone at freenet.de may have set up a list
account just so it may send an automated message to everybody who is sending
mail to the list.
Has anybody else been receiving those message when sending mail to the list?
Any idea on how to stop it?
Thanks a lot.

Hi dear list!
Some days ago, I reported a problem with the message preview pane when using
IMAP.
Mathias Homann pointed me to the KDE bugreport he created:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94184
In this bugreport there is stated a solution to this problem.
I now made new kdepim3 packages which are identical to the SuSE
kdepim3-3.3.2-3 packages, they just differ by adding the patch from the KDE
bug 94184.
Richard Bos provided a lot of his knowledge, time and bandwith to get me
building fine packages and to get these packages hosted on the ftp mirror of
gwdg.de. Thank you Richard!
Now you can download these packages at
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-i386/RPMS.suser-rbos/
or
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-i386/RPMS.suser-rbos/
or use apt4suse (http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/) and include Richards
repository to your sources.list. The repository is suser-rbos.
If there are any problems installing this packages, feel free to write me.
Best,
Daniel
I've got a Rio Cali MP3 player that I hooked up to my SuSE 9.1 box running
KDE. The first time I connected it, it noted that I had and displayed a
Konqueror window showing its contents. Later, I attempted to copy some files
to it and the X server hung. After a CTRL-ALT-Backspace and I logged in
again, I plugged the Cali in again and nothing happens.
What might I have hosed up that would keep SuSE Plugger from seeing the device
when it's plugged in? How can I manually mount the device? I know how to
use the mount command, but how do I determine which block device in /dev it
is? I guess I'm looking for a more general answer that I can apply to any
future event like this one.
Thanks.

Hi guys,
Since a few days, kmail is always starting at logon, while i'm 100% sure
i've closed all applications before logoff. Also i don't use kmail as
standalone, i'm using Kontakt...
Does somebody know what's happening here ?
Thanks in advance,
Franky.

I have a problem that started after installing a new kernel. After the
"Boot Options" screen, I now get a message saying;
"You passed an undefined mode number. Press return or wait 30 seconds
etc..."
Can someone explain to me how to fix this. Please make reply simple for
a ex-Winxxx user!
Happy Holidays All!
I know someone on this list can deal with this:
Something (operator airhead?) has reset the default
print font size to approx. 6 or 7 point size. Far
too tiny to read usefully. Using SuSE 9.1 Pro w/KDE
as window manager. Printer is HP LaserJet 4Si.
Have "cold" re-set plrinter twice. Looking in my
~/.kde/share/" . . . rc" config files shows nothing
that allows for the actual size of the *printed* type,
only the size when viewed in the respective
application (i.e. Konqueror, etc., etc.) Should also
mention that I recently (30 days) updated to KDE 3.3.2
fork from SuSE site. Any tips??
TIA, and A Happly New Year To All!

Have A Healthy, Prosperous Day!!

Hi dear list members!
Does anybody of you use kmail with IMAP?
Since KDE 3.3.1 (I think) I have the problem, that (approx.) every 10th mail
I select, the preview is not shown, the preview page remains empty.
I now use kde 3.3.2 (actual SuSE supplemetary for SuSE 9.1) and the problem
persists.
There are no messages on stdout or stderr which seem to belong to the
problem.
I tried with a completely new user to check if it is an update problem, but
it isn't.
Any thoughts about that?
Thanks for helping!
Best,
Daniel

HI!
Since upgrading my Suse 9.0 to KDE 3.3.2, I get a "file already exists"
dialog after login (at the end of the login procedure).
Someone wants to copy
"/opt/kde3/share/apps/susewatcher/update-informations.desktop" to
"/tmp/kde-thomas/Desktop-0/update-informations.desktop".
Both files are supposed to have the same length and the same date.
Strange thing is, the destination file does NOT exist.
I can click on "overwrite" and the dialog disappears. Next time I login,
the same happens.
What's that?
Thanks!
Thomas
