[SuSE Linux] G200, XF333 and Quake
by bjorn＠algonet.se 28 Dec '98

28 Dec '98

I just upgraded my machine and now have a Matrox G200 card in it. Downloading and installing XFree86 v3.3.3 was reasonably painless (why no new sax? Would've made it completely painless.) Earlier I had an old Matrox Millennium board. With it I could (although it was by no means a pleasure) run Quake-2 in an X window. With the G200 card, any such attempt immediately crashes X. What do I need to do to make it work in X? How do I configure SVGAlib such that it takes advantage of the G200 board (at least better than at 320x200.) ? _ /Bjorn. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] kvt modifications
by rstiphout＠who.net 28 Dec '98

28 Dec '98

Problem: how to personalize some kvt properties. Does anyone know where I should add some aliases - so that when I open a kvt terminal, they are available? Also - where to change some of the configs for a kvt window - backgrnd color, size, where on the screen it opens? I like the KDE, but would like to personalize some things. Have yet to figure out which files kvt accesses when it starts up (in /etc? opt/kde? ~/?) Thanks for any tips, suggestions, places to look. I am using Suse 5.3 Thanks, Rick Stiphout rstiphout(a)who.net - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] Re: Radio under SuSE 5.3
by deem＠wdm.com 28 Dec '98

Hi Pat, Here's the radio scoop for Linux. First you need sound working on system. I recommend OSS/Linux. This should be working. To get this to start on bootup do the following 1. fire up your fav. editor (nedit for us:) as su root. 2. head to /sbin/init.d/boot.local and add the following: ! /bin/sh # # Copyright (c) 1996 S.u.S.E. GmbH Fuerth, Germany.

No if you have a AIMS radio card....... 2 apps I recommend are : a.

[SuSE Linux] Before I Open The Boxes....
by sandyseeds＠iname.com 27 Dec '98

27 Dec '98

Merry Christmas To All! Santa dropped off two surprise packages this morning. Before I attempt to RTFM or open the packaging, does anyone know if these are supported in SuSE 5.3?? 1. Logitech TrackMan Marble FX, model #4257 2. SoundBlaster AWE64value; with an EMU8000 chipset. (I'm sure OSS supports it) Your help/suggestions as to installing techniques much appreciated.

[SuSE Linux] IP masq & w95

Ive finally have ip masq working with a firewall in place. One problem Im experiencing is w95 blue screens after about 45 min online (could ya beleive it?) the problem is that the 95 virtually *never* blue screens on its own, but when using the ipmasq it does. the setup suse with a FW and ipmasq - 95 with suse as the gateway machine all on ethernet Other than the blue screening of 95 it works well although Im sure there is some tweeking needed with the FW_TRANS_PROXY_OUT and FW_TRANS_PROXY_IN which are currently set to "" If anyone has experience with the above please mail me <A HREF="mailto:dizzy73@connix.com">mailto:dizzy73@connix.com</A> (or post to the list) thanks rob -- Bookmarks <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

I have installed the 5.3 OS with Applix Office Suite 99 and KDE desktop. Love it and will be 100% MS free as soon as I solve this last problem. When running kppp I connect to my ISP just fine then seconds later I get this error. "the pppd daemon died unexpectedly" The connection remains in place but Netscape will not recognize any DNS as valid.

[SuSE Linux] A Nice Koffice program
by R-Hinton＠govst.edu 27 Dec '98

27 Dec '98

I just DL'ed a 17+ meg office suite for the KDE system called Koffice. It is a tar file designed for libc5 and generally works pretty good, except for the messi icons in each application. Maybe I should go to 16 or 24 bpp and they will become clearer, perhaps. Anyone ever work with this office suite, seems pretty good, but does not start as readily as SO which calls up all other programs from one starter program. Koffice starts in individual binaries like Kword, Kspread, etc. needs a little unification here... Richard N.
