Yep, Nick it's pretty easy now that you've told me the driver(Via Rhine).

Is there a driver for them? According to the tulip ethernet web page the driver you need is the Via Rhine one not the normal tulip driver.

I've yet to find a way to change the default to A4 (though it shouldn't be necessary, coming from a European company.) Also (attention Lenz!) the SuSE 6.0 manual (in 3.13.1: Configuring your printer) says "'Paper size' will usually be Letter". Apart from the fact that the screen dump shows 'A4', this should read "usually A4". Letter size is peculiar only to the US. -- Chris Keenan - 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] Fell at last hurdle
by chris＠usma.demon.co.uk 11 Feb '99

11 Feb '99

OK, I went through the SuSE 6.0 installation process (new install) and evrything seemd to be going smoothly, until the point where it had to reboot to finish off. Got to the login: prompt, but whatever I enter (root, etc.) it just comes back with the kernel announce line and the login prompt: no password prompt, nothing, so I can't actually go in to check (and check what?). Suggestions welcome (preferably not a re-install!). -- Chris Keenan - 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] AGP Video woes
by LinuxAdvocate＠iname.com 11 Feb '99

11 Feb '99

I'm trying to install SuSE 5.3 on a Pentium II (233 MHz, 32 MB RAM) with an AGP video card using the Cirrus Logic 5465 chipset. SaX has that chipset in its database, and I have it set up correctly (let's presume I do). Problem: X locks up after a few minutes of operation, usually while painting a newly created window. I'm using the Generic SVGA server, 800x600x8 resolution. I recompiled the kernel to stress the system - worked with no problems. I used the VGA server in a 640x480x4 resolution (looked horrible, but worked reliably). Can anyone suggest a definitive test to see if the problem is in the video card or the X Server?
