It's not obvious until you actually press F6. yast --> system administration --> network configuration --> network base configuration --> Now, HIT F6 for IP address and there's a field for the gateway.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] xvidtune
by frolija＠texaco.com 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

I am using the suse_elsa_gloria X server (to support my diamond fire gl 1000 pro) on slackware, and xvidtune does not work with it. Is there anything special that I need to do to get xvidtune to work with this X server? I have the same slackware dist on another system, and xvidtune works fine on it (but I am not using a SuSE X server. Is the SuSE xvidtune different than the Slackware xvidtune?

Right - I have those files (XSuSE_Matrox and xsuseconfig) and have 'installed' them using YaST. By install, I mean I have selected 'Install Packages' using YaST, and pointed it towards the .gz files, and then it copied them to my X11 directory. I think that's what it did. Now what? I have been told to configure the server using the xsuseconfig file - how do I do that? If I run XF86Setup, there is no option to select the XSuSE_Matrox server. I can manually execute XSuSE_Matrox, which results in a weird screen where I can switch resolutions using Ctrl-Del-+ / - but that's as far as I get. Any suggestions on where to go now? By the way, I am thinking about setting up a mailing list for completely new people (such as myself) - what do you think? -- Richard <A HREF="http://platinum.ch.ic.ac.uk/richard"><A HREF="http://platinum.ch.ic.ac.uk/richard</A">http://platinum.ch.ic.ac.uk/richard</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

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Java executables and IDE's
by srr03＠tid.es 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

Hi there. First of all, thanks to all who answered me about the SBAWE installation, the modem and the colors in xterm. I'd like to ask now somethin about Java: Is anybody here working in th FreeBuilder project? and Why can't I activate the execution of Java classes in the kernel (when I compile, I mean)? I'm thinking about develope in Java with linux (I do it now with W95), but I haven't found good IDE's. The new FreeBuilder (good expectations) will be available in two weeks or so. I'd like to take part in the project. If someone in this list is in the project, please e-mail me. I'm willing to help. Bye.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Lotus SmartSuite for Linux?

I recently sent a product request to Lotus to create a Linux version of SmartSuite. I am hoping that if enough people make the same request the folks at Lotus will give it some serious consideration. It would be greatly appreciated if the list members could also send a similar request. If for no other reason then to get more software choices for Linux.
