[SuSE Linux] xserver problem
by dk11ae＠student.hik.se 07 Sep '98

Hi ! I got suse linux 5.3 today and since it's the first time I use it, I don't know much about it. So now I have a problem. When I'm using sax to configure xwindow I can't use a specific server for my card, since it's matrox productiva g100 so I guess I have to use xsvga, and then I write in my monitors sync spec (which btw are 30-70 khz, 50-150 hz) and then enters the desktop page, where the real problem is. There are no screenmodes to choose. Not in any colors. How do I get some screenmodes to choose from ? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] The K environment
by steve＠millsphoto.com 07 Sep '98

I just learned something incredible. There is a tool called kfm in here that serves as a browser. I know I just fell off the turnip truck, but this sure came as a surprise to me. Easily as good as my old favorite, IE3.1. Bigger surprise to me would be continuing to use Netscape after this discovery. I can't imagine why I would.

[SuSE Linux] Python setup for Tk
by steve＠millsphoto.com 07 Sep '98

07 Sep '98

I am trying to install Grail, a web browser. It needs Python (installed with initial setup of 5.3) and Python needs to be setup for Tk (also installed). Here is what I see when I try to start Grail: home:/opt/grail # ./grail.py Traceback (innermost last): File "./grail.py", line 37, in ? import Tkinter # Do this first to avoid confusing ni on Mac/Win File "/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 5, in ? import _tkinter # If this fails your Python is not configured for Tk ImportError: File not found Has anyone here got a good idea how to setup Python? I know it's a bit obscure, but I want to try this Grail browser. The screenshots look really good. Off to bed, I'll check in the morning. Thanks.

In fact, it does not display certain topics, saying that it cannot open the manual.

I don't know how this will look, but I am at least logged on and using KMail. So far, I am unable to retrieve mail but I think I just forgot my correct password. Ha!
