[SuSE Linux] display ghostscript extensions in SuSE?
by jpb39＠cam.ac.uk 23 Feb '99

23 Feb '99

I recently noticed that Debian Linux includes a package with display ghostscript extensions for X. Before I attempt to install the Debian package or compile dps from source, I'd be interested to know if anyone has already installed these under SuSE Linux (5.3 or 6.0), or if there is some reason that this can't or shouldn't be done.

[SuSE Linux] Network problem DHCP client
by gh＠simteam.com 23 Feb '99

23 Feb '99

Hi, I just got an internet cybersurf modem from motorola which is connected to a network card in my PC. the IP address is dynamic and should be provided by a DHCP server so I need to run a DHCP client. the networks card is NE2000 compatible so I had no problem having it used by linux however in YAST the "DHCP client" is grayed out ( i cannot use it ). I rebuild my kernel I found nothing about DHCP. It seems to me that the net card is working ok ( it is listed in cat /prov/net/dev). In the manuals index I looked for DHCP and found only 2 references about serving DHCP. Can anybody please help me !! best regards GH Portefait -- "Computers are like air conditioners - they stop working properly when you open Windows" -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/CC d-@ s+:- C++(++++)UL++>++++ P++>++++ L++>+++ E-W+(++) N++ !o K- w !O M(++) V? !PS !PE y+ PGP+++ t+ 5?

Lenz, It is my understanding that using a device such as $REMOTEHOST:0.0 would send the x-windows information in the clear on the normal x port (what ever that is) Steve Lenz Grimmer wrote: > Hi, > > On Thu, 18 Feb 1999, Steven T.

[SuSE Linux] Manufacture's Drivers!
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 23 Feb '99

23 Feb '99

This is an old theme that I believe bears repeating. I was reading the mini-howto on soundblasters and came across this: The SB AWE 64 has the capabilities of the SB AWE 32 and an additional Wave Guide synthesis Creative Labs is especially proud of. The problem for Linux users is, that the additional 32 voices are software generated and output via the raw wave devices. Because Creative Labs sees no market in Linux drivers, a Wave Guide synthesis sound driver is only available for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Cane people think of a polite way to put pressure on folks such as Creative Labs to develop Linux drivers? It seems to me that Linux is poised to make a "quantum leap" into self configuration with PnP. It would be really nice if hardware manufactures took part in developing the software components for their products. As far as there not being a market, well I've spent over ten thousand dollars on computer equipment in my life and I am running linux on all my systems. (Yea, I do have NT partitions so I can learn things for work.) I would suggest an e-mail campaign, but that sound too much like spamming. Perhaps an internet petition form might be a good way to collect input to then send to hardware manufactures.
