FW: [SuSE Linux] New trackball woes

I used to have a Kensington Expert Mouse, one of the best trackballs IMHO, which broke finally. However, I bought a Kensington Orbit as a replacement which does not track as far as the old one. It takes 3 or 4 swipes of the finger to get it across the screen. Is there anyway to adjust this? I tried changing some mouse settings in XF86Setup, but nothing had an effect.

[SuSE Linux] printing

Hi, I erased the original post... but I found that if I have parport modules loaded, the printer would not print. "rmmod" them --> printer works. -----------start--------------- quake:~ # lsmod Module Size Used by parport_probe 2884 0 (autoclean) parport_pc 5024 1 (autoclean) lp 4508 0 (autoclean) parport 6788 1 (autoclean) [parport_probe parport_pc lp] -------------end---------------- - 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>>

[SuSE Linux] Motif 2.0 and SuSE 6.0

I get error now trying to compile motif apps like this one: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a(XmRenderT.o): In function `ValidateAndLoadFont': XmRenderT.o(.text+0x2065): undefined reference to `_Xsetlocale' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [xmmix] Error 1 and usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a(XmRenderT.o): In function `ValidateAndLoadFont': XmRenderT.o(.text+0x2065): undefined reference to `_Xsetlocale' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [xscreensaver-demo] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/src/xscreensaver-3.07/driver' make: *** [all] Error 5 Looks like a similiar error and I'm wondering if it's related to SuSE 6.0 as it compiles fine under 5.3 ? Anyone know ?

Ian, There is a version of Manic Miner for SVGALib! While it doesn't have the same razamataz as Quake, it's simple enough for me to follow! I've also seen some work on starting Sonic (X-Hedgehog).

[SuSE Linux] No sound not kbdrate after suspend
by to.avi＠usa.net 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

Hi, I have a problem on both SuSE 5.3 and 6.0 where I lose all sound in the system (bell and modem dialing sound) and the kbdrate settings after my laptop is awaken from a suspend due to a closed lid. APM is compiled into the kernel. I have a couple of questions: 1. I can rerun kbdrate to restore the kbdrate setting, but what can I do to restore the sound? 2. Is there a way to fix it permanently without having to run something after a suspend?

[SuSE Linux] Another Netscape keyboard question
by abrahams＠valinet.com 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

Is there a way (under Netscape Messenger) to move a message from the Inbox to a particular folder using only the keyboard? Using F10 I can get to the Message menu, then M takes me to "Move". The problem is that I can't figure out a way to use the keyboard to select the particular folder I want to move the message to. By the way, the reason I'm so interested in keyboard-only techniques is that I find the constant switching between keyboard and mouse to be stressful on my hands - and carpal tunnel syndrome is something I don't want. I would guess I'm not alone in that!
