by imm＠KidsCare.Net 24 Feb '99

24 Feb '99

I just installed SuSE 6.0 it took me some time to set my video card(on board SIS6326 AGP w/8mb)configured with sax. The colors in kde are great but my cursor is a white box? Also there are no fonts/text on taskbars or menusor programs. It's hard to navigate kde without text anywhere. Sometimes they appear if I run alleged cursor over them but then they dissappear. ???? Has anyone else had these problems? Any ideas as too how to fix. I did install 100dpi fonts. My monitor is set right horizontaql 30-70 vertical 50-160 Video is on-board SiS 6326 AGP w/8mb ramdac 175. I am using the svga server. I did set it up with sax.

[SuSE Linux] Well, broke down and got 6.0...
by wolfsong＠blaze.ca 24 Feb '99

24 Feb '99

a questions that someone here may be able to answer about SuSE 6.0: I know that i can get 24 bit colour with an 800x600 resolution. (even under Windows) Does anyone else have problems with screen flicker at higher resolutions, or is it just my silly HP M50? If so, is there anything short of decreasing the resolution that will stop it? -- islandwolf "when a dachshund just isn't enough' - 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 archive 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'm hoping that one of you system experts out there can tell me the precise mknod command for configuring /dev/sg4. It's probably pertinent that I'm running SuSE 6.0: the most recent MKDEVs I've been able to find are at least a year old, and they don't work.
