After starting it and opening Kmail that comes with it my mail messages were no longer filtered properly. The messages I had sorted in different folders were no longer sorted properly and had dates of 1969 or 1973. Does anyone have an idea of what might have happened? Thanks, Mike

Judging by the 'overwhelming' response, it appears that there is no experience with this thing out there. I don't know if their software works under Linux. They advertise it would. But first I am going to bite the bullet and get their fancy serial cable. Then I put the UPS on the bench and have a look what comes out of that port. There ought to be a way to get this thing percolating with the software in SuSe 7. Thanks anyway for taking the time to reply.

(system worked fine with the initial install-however I had to enlarge the boot partition because it filled-would this have an effect on anything-I used partition magic) Also is there a way to stop from booting straight into X windows? I would like a choice. btw...does anyone know of an audio driver for the ESS Allegro-1 ? Thanks a bunch, mike

My keyboard and Kde (1 && 2) problem.. FIXED

FIXED Hi Susers, I have found out a strange problem with kde and my keyboard. The enter in the numeric keypad did not work, and the "Alt Gr" key was not working too. Those keys worked properly in the shells though. I tried to configure my keyboard back to the right way using sax2, those keys worked properly in the test area, but not under kde. So I switched to gnome for a while and... SURPRISE everything was going ok. I switched back to kde and I have found that the keys were working properly. So I have a question for you: WHAT HAPPENED? It looks like a M$Stuff behaviour! Tazio

Easy way to do this on SuSE 7.0 is cp .xserverrc.secure .xserverrc in your home dir. Startx invokes xinit which groks .xserverrc.

If I disable graphical booting, I get a error in SuSE saying that the X server should not be set to SUID root. I would like to boot to console mode only but cannot remember what I did before. It claims something about Xwrapper also. I did use yast to tell the system not to boot to a display manager. Thanks. -- Michael Perry mperry(a)tsoft.com ------------------
