[SuSE Linux] which graphics card
by jack＠malone.tyler.com 06 Jun '99

06 Jun '99

The latest drivers for Win95 did nothing to alleviate the situation. As I discovered only too late, the fine print in the ATI documentation states that their cards are only supported for use with Intel CPUs and Intel motherboard chipsets. Draw your own conclusions... I have to disagree here. i have an ati expert@work agp card an it works very nicely under both win98 an linux. No glitches at all. was the easies video card to setup so far for me with xwindows. :) just my 2 cents worth on this subject. :) Jack Malone jack(a)malone.tyler.com <A HREF="http://www.ballistic.com/~jemalone"><A HREF="http://www.ballistic.com/~jemalone</A">http://www.ballistic.com/~jemalone</A</A>> Luke 4:18-19 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.

I have a Matrox Millenium G200 AGP with 8MB SDRAM. There is another version that comes with 8MB SGRAM as well. The card has performed great for me. And I highly recommend it.

[SuSE Linux] Kpp and pppd
by jus10＠softhome.net 06 Jun '99

06 Jun '99

After 3 days of working on trying to get the chat scripts working and a ppp-up script to work, I decided to try kppp on a whim. Well . . . It connected the first time without any problems. Now what I would like to do, if it is possible, is to take the kppp scripts and use them as chat, ppp-up and chap scripts. Does anyone know where kppp keeps these scripts?

[SuSE Linux] Hauppauge WinTV 404
by btm77＠home.com 06 Jun '99

Hope this one is easy, I have the SusE Kernel 2.2.5 recompiled with bttv hardcoded in. I have the bttv pakages kwintv and Xawtv installed. The programs function fine with the 404 model except for one thing, I can't change chanels. I have got to set the tunner type somehow, The readmes aren't to clear or I'm just too impacient. Could someone point me to the correct files in /usr/src/linux to modify or correct files for a module compile to get the tuner working properly.

[SuSE Linux] glibc-2.1.1
by paulsen＠texas.net 06 Jun '99

06 Jun '99

Hello, I am preparing to run an application that requires the new threading in glibc 2.1 so am about to upgrade to lx_glibc-2.1.131-7.i386.rpm from SuSE's ftp site. Are there any potential problems I should look for? I'm worried about possible incompatability problems with existing SuSE packages (now running OK with globc-2.0.7) and a the newer library.

[SuSE Linux] minicom, modem, speed, default settings, setserial
by eric.redsand＠3dnet.fr 06 Jun '99

06 Jun '99

Hi everybody, I have no problem with MINICOM. Instead, MINICOM solves (temporaly) my modem problem. My modem trouble is the following : When connecting to my ISP, speed modem is always 9600. If I run MINICOM, the next connexion is made with 33600 speed !! (I just run MINICOM and I quit. I don't key in any AT command). I don't understand default settings which are made by MINICOM, which allows me to have 33600 speed. I put "setserial /dev/modem spd_vhi" to set baud rate to 115 kbs in my connexion script -> no effect. If someone can help me to understand.

[SuSE Linux] ps in X? /tmp? date?
by newsdimi＠mailandnews.com 06 Jun '99

06 Jun '99

I've three questions ;) 1. Does anyone know how you can see which tasks your computer does in X-windows (just like "ps" on a terminal)?? And then for example kill that application! 2. How can you move your /tmp directory to another location/drive? (for ex. I wish the "/mnt/linuxHD/tmp" was my tmp directory) I tried "export TMPDIR=/mnt/linuxHD/tmp" but it didn't seem to work! Is it possible that all the files from the /tmp directory come into the swap-space(area)? I've a swap-partition of 130MB, but that space isn't all used... (the most used swap-space I've ever seen, was 20MB) 3. As a user I can't change the date (for ex. "date 0605153099"). Where can I change the privileges? (chmod 777 /bin/date -> doesn't work) Thanks in advance, Dimitri Gielis Belgium -- 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>>
