Akode and KDE 3.5
by Karaoulis Marios 28 Nov '05

I saw that from version kde 3.5 and up, akode is no longer part of kdemultimedia. This means than no longer mp3 issues? Just someone install akode from another repository and mp3 is back to the game? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

problem exiting X
by Tim Hanson 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

I'm posting this here on the off chance someone else has encountered it. I can't find the appropriate forum on X.org, the suse-laptop list is German only, and my post to suse-linux-e hasn't given me an answer. Installation of SuSE 10.0 on my new HP Pavilian xv6000 went incredibly well, the easiest laptop install I've ever done. I'm left with one problem, hopefully not a show stopper. Card is ATI Radeon XPRESS 2000m 5955 The widescreen 1280x800 works great while the window managers are running, but X won't exit properly. Regardless of whether I exit to gdm or console, the screen turns into a gray color, sometimes tinted with various colors, plus some horizontal and vertical lines. At this point the screen will not recover. Pressing <alt>F2 -F9 while X is running causes the screen to do the same thing. The problem occurs with KDE, GNOME, and FVWM2. It's not a total lock, as the three finger salute properly reboots the computer after an orderly shutdown. Skipping all window managers, i.e., simply typing "/usr/bin/X11/X" at the command line in runlevel 3, then pulling the rug out wiith <crtl><alt><backspace> gives a normal exit to a good console. Is there something I can put in .xinit or somewhere that will fix this? -- The intelligence of any discussion diminishes with the square of the number of participants. -- Adam Walinsky

Hi all I want to update my suse 10 box to kde 3.5. The question If i update using the supplementary rpms i will loose mp3 support. If i keep the kdemultimedia from packman (locked rpms) to version 3.4.2 , will be any problem? Secondly, if i update kdemultimedia to 3.5 and keep kdemultimedia-mad and arts-mad to 3.4.2, will everything be ok? Is there any other way (except rebuilding from source) to update to kde 3.5 with mp3 support? Thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

External monitor does not display video
by Wolfgang Polzleitner 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

I am using Suse 10.0 (under Suse 9.3 on the same machine the problem did not occur): I use an external monitor connected to the back of my laptop. I use the DualHead feature in Yast to be able to get the display forwarded to this external monitor. When I connect the external monitor to the PC (it's a Toshiba Tecra S1 laptop with Radeon Graphics card, i.e., radeon driver), I am able to see a copy of the desktop on the monitor. There are two problems: 1. (Major problem): Video output is not cloned: When I run xine or mplayer, the video is displayed on the laptop screen, but not on the external monitor screen. Xine and mplayer display an "empty" video window. Although being able to clone desktop content on the monitor or beamer, video data seems to get lost. 2. (Minor problem): Although setting the external resolution to the correct value (in YAST, dual head settings), the forwarded copy of the desktop has a different resolution. The desktop does not fit on the external screen. When I move the mouse to the right side, the desktop on the external screen is shifted to show the missing parts. Thanks for any hints on what could be done here. Wolfgang Polzleitner

sounds, flicks and business graphics

Hello, What graphics display capability should a new machine have to cope with middle of the road and higher end business applications -- not SGI kind of stuff or engineering or modeling? DVD thrills or games need not be included. Can you recommend a card for PCI, PCI-E, or SLI system -- Maybe clue me in on how to approach selection? Lonn C. Dugan

Hi, I am wondering how I can get codecs for suse 10 for video and audio. I can't even get mpeg movies to play at the moment.
