Hmmm, Never tried changing the text console res before! I always use a resized terminal window within KDE... I just switched to SuSE 9.0, winbook Z1 (1400x1050 ATi Rage Pro 128 Mobile) so I bet this will work under 8.2 also. May not be kosher but it worked for me. Cheat: when you boot up pass the kernel "vga=1400x1050" and you get the native resolution. Type it into the box at the bottom of the grub boot/choice screen. You can also make it permanent by editing /boot/grub/grub.conf Cheers, JF *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 11/5/2003 at 6:41 AM Kre�mer Pavel | BDO IT a.s. wrote: >Hello, > > > >I'm using SuSE 8.2. on IBM R40 Series notebook with ATI Radeon Mobility >7500 graphic card.

Console resolution problems

Hello, I'm using SuSE 8.2. on IBM R40 Series notebook with ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 graphic card. The LCD display was made for primary resolution 1400x1050. I have no problem under X, but in the console mode I can't set this resolution and a screen is not sharp. I'm guessing that need to change frame buffer settings (/etc/fb.modes), but I have no idea how to do that, or how to calculate all frame buffer parameters. Thanks in advance Pavel Krecmer pavel.krecmer(a)bdo-it.com

mp3 problems with SuSE 8.2
by Sal DiSciascio 04 Nov '03

I can't get mp3's to play. I can play cd's. I can rip cd's to mp3, ftp them to my WinXP and play them but they won't play on Linux. I recompiled libmad, libid3tag and mplayer. No luck. I get some noise and the player "clock" advances very slowly or "skips". Any help would be greatly appreciated. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
