I have a couple of questions regarding my G3 300mhz ibook. I recently downloaded the upgraded XFree86 packages from the suse ftp server because of the increased support for the ati graphics boards. My question is simple has anyone any idea how to tweak the preformance of my ati-rage mobility card? I have tried my self but i simply don´t have enough information about it to know what to do. If someone have a working xf86config file and would like to share it with me i would really appreciate it, that is if someone has got either the open gl acceleration or the XV display option working.

can't help here but....

The second question is if anyone has found a kernel with support for "energy saving" (i don´t know the right word in english), right now i can only run my computer on battery for about two hours before it dies without warning. And i can´t get the battrey monitors to work since my kernel isn´t compiled with support for mobile computers.

use pmud. the default suse kernel (I am using 2.4.16) has it built in and it turns my monitor off after a few minutes if i don't use it and I can sleep the computer, too. I rarely turn my iMac off. if you have a recent SuSE kernel, try typing 'snooze'.

Sorry about my bad english

nothing bad about it!

Regards

Peter
