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.

widescreen monitor
by Tim Hanson 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

Has anyone had any luck with 16x10 monitors? In two cases so far, I haven't been able to get wide screen to work. The current is the most troublesome, if only because I spend $1,000 for the monitor, a Sharp. I inserted the manufacturer's disk and found the monitor, but going through sax2, I could only get it to work (if memory serves) 1200x768, which is much than my 1280x1024 19" 3x4 monitor I am now using. There were large black spaces at both sides, and the resolution was just crummy. This monitor should be good for 1820*1024. I was using the analog 9-pin (as in VGA) cable. Both the card and the monitor have digital ports. Would it help to hook them up that way? -- You know the great thing about TV?

Hello. Like a normal user, I want to play my multimedia files (i.e. mpg) on my SUSE 10.0. I've found on the web some tutorials for 9.3 version that says to use YOU and install the Multimedia Option Packs, but I've tried to do the same with my 10.0, and any Multimedia Option Packs are showed on packages list. What I have to do? Thank you in advance. _______________________________________________________ Promoção Yahoo!

Under YAST/Hardware/Sound, does the SB Live card show as configured, and if so, as device 0 or device 1? -----Original Message----- From: MPierre Dehen [mailto:mpierre@dehen.org] Sent: Friday, October 28, 2005 4:51 PM To: suse-multimedia Subject: [suse-multimedia-e] 2 sound cards howto ? my system as one AC97 integrated sound card and a SB Live, all drivers seems to work fine. In Suse 10 update, i select my SB Live as the primary sound card, but in hardware list, it appears as the second !!! the problem is that there is no sound with KDE apps, Kaffeine for ex.
