Dear All, I've loaded SUSE-linux 5.3 (previously running the 5.2 freebie from a UK magazine) and the X Server setup has changed to use Sax. Now when I set up the monitor I'm getting a screen desktop that "scrolls" i.e. if the mouse hits the left boundary the desktop scrolls left and if it hits the top it scrolls upwards. I hate this. How do I stop it as I can't see any settings in Sax for setting the virtual desktop size as opposed to the display size? Sax doesn't seem to work fully anyway as the window sizing screen (with the eight buttons) doesn't change size when I click on a button or shift position.

[SuSE Linux] Problem with a network device
by snieto＠sc.sas.cica.es 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

Hello, My system is a Linux with two network devices, one of them has a real direction, and the other has a private direction, both are the same model REALTEK 10100. My version of linux is SUSE 5.3, it is a firewall, it has a proxy server, it is a mail server (sendmail and pop3 ). When there are some people connect to it, for example reading the mail or navigating in Internet, the interface with the private direction, has many problems. From the linux I can ping only to the private direction, I cannot ping to the other direction of the LAN, and from all the directions of the LAN, I cannot ping the Linux's private direction. So there isn't comunications between my LAN and the exterior. When it happen, some messages like this appear in the /var/log/messages file: Transmit timeout, status 0d 0000. eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 0008203c. (queue head) eth0: Tx descriptor 1 is 0008203c. eth0: Tx descriptor 2 is 100825ea. eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is 0008022f. I know that it is'nt a fail in the hardware ( network device ) because I have changed it yet and the same problem has happened again. Please, ¡ help me !, I'm sorry because my english is horrible, Thank you very much. - 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] Apsfilter, ghostcript 5.x and my stylus color printer
by mperry＠basin.com 14 Jan '99

14 Jan '99

So after a few mistakes I have lpr doing its thing but I am curious about getting more out of my printer. I have the classic epson stylus color and installed apsfilter with default resolution of 360x360. It mentions in the SDB to install the latest GS and use the uniprint drivers. How exactly does one proceed with this and has anyone done this with suse 5.3? I am pretty satisfied with printing overall and I have some shaky memories of compiling ghostscript before. Any opinions from ESC users out there? What have you done with regard to printing with epson stylus color printers? -- Michael E.

[SuSE Linux] Followon to ghostscript
by mperry＠basin.com 14 Jan '99

14 Jan '99

I downloaded the rpm packages for libc5 for ghostscript 5.1 from suse's ftp site. After applying these upgrades, apsfilter tells me it can only support true PS printers and that the ghostscript-emulator package is not loaded. I did not see this option on the download page. I grabbed the rpms for both X11 and svga support, the libs library, and some fonts. What else do I need to configure apsfilter using these? I do not see any emulator packages in rpm format there. -- Michael E.

[SuSE Linux] gtk+ is broken !!
by myfish＠dial.pipex.com 14 Jan '99

14 Jan '99

Further to a previous post here. I looked at the gtk install,tried a few examples. None compile. Downloaded current stable source,built it,installed it. Examples will not compile. Downloaded current development source. Source configures,but fails to make. also,built a new imlib and this whilst making,reports a broken gtk install. gimp runs fine,and i thought this required a fully working gtk install. Guess not,hope someone knows whats wrong. -- Myfish.
