[SuSE Linux] WP8 Printing
by adcarlso＠visinet.ca 21 Jan '99

21 Jan '99

I have had some interesting results printing to my HP600 with WordPerfect. Font sizes are typically wrong, spacing between characters ignored, miscellaneous special characters ignored. The solution, strangely is to print everthing as "graphics". Are there any potential explanations to this? Has anyone else observed this to this type of printer, or even to other types of printers? ---------------------------------- Arlen Carlson adcarlso(a)visinet.ca "I found out why my car was humming.

[SuSE Linux] X-server problems

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Well in the continuing saga... Finally after replacing the main board I rid myself of the PCI error and SAX does come up now. However, SAX upon testing the server gives me a very little unintelligible chunk of a large picture no mater what I set the video to. xf86config is no better because I get binary errors when I try to "startx". Tomorrow I'll get a different video card and give that a try. Crossing fingers.

[SuSE Linux] Sound and SuSE linux 5.3
by philip.clarke＠midkent.ac.uk 20 Jan '99

20 Jan '99

I am having problems with getting any sound out. I have followed the directions for installations of oss with the distribution. In kde kmix complains that it is unable to contact the mixer. 'soundon' gives a positive response, but otherwise makes no difference. My sound card is an OPTI pnp. This I have selected in oss configure utility. This reports that the card is correcly configured, BUT it will not autodetect. Anyone any ideas? Philip Philip Clarke Title: Senior Lecturer, Course Director, Computer Centre IT Dep.
