And contrary to the advice on this list, its still a bugger even when you know what you are doing. I will try and write my steps to re-installation in the next couple of days. If i can find the notes i made. The key points i found after repeat attempts. were 1) Recompile the kernel 2) Install suse ftp xfree86 4.01 3) get the drivers from nvidia site 4) compile the above 5) make sure that you can call insmod agpgart with the parameters from tomshardware.com 6) use xf86config to build an /etc/X11/XF86config file. 7) call xserver using xinit and the XFree86 server name as a parameter /usr/X11/bin/XFree86 or something like that and err that should work you get better advice from Lenz, i did all this before he mentioned how to do it. dids > -----Original Message----- > From: JLT [mailto:bigbob@club-internet.fr] > Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 10:34 PM > To: richard(a)diddyland.com > Subject: RE: [SLE] GeForce2 MX - someone at suse have u tried the mx > card, tomshardware couldnt get it to work > > > Hi. > > I think I ve the same problem that you with my GeForce2 MX card on Suse > 7. > Have you found a solution ? > > I've tried the NVidia drivers without any results... > > Thanks for your answer > > Regards > JLT > >

However I can`t seem to get yast to connect to an ftp update site. I`ve started yast from bootfloppy and installed the netcard module. After entering all adresses (ip`s)and such yast allways closes with a directory not found on the ftp server but when I use gftp it is all there? I can`t find anny cleu`s on suse`s website or on info,man pages... greets Eelco

Hello Brian, I tried to compile the xhoughtool packages on my linux PC machine. Original XHoughtool doesn't compile, asking for these files which AFAIK belongs to Sun Solaris graphical systems: <xview/xview.h> <xview/canvas.h> <xview/font.h> <xview/cms.h> <xview/xv_xrect.h> So, I tried with your version. Here i get all the packages compiled but also 2 files: 1) Tkhough (binary) which I can't run > ./Tkhough complains about missing file (!) 2) a sort of tkhough.tcl which, thanks to my deep ignorance, is useless for me. Can you point me towards the solution(s) in order to get the glorious Hough tool working with a good GUI on my machine? Many thanks, Stefano

SuSe 7.0 live cd

Message-ID: <3A25E800.D5B2C905(a)cybercomm.net> Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2000 00:39:12 -0500 From: Joseph Zieniewicz <jozien(a)cybercomm.net> Subject: SuSe 7.0 live cd I have purchased the boxed version of SuSe 5.3, 6.2 and 6.3 and I think SuSe is still the best distribution by far after trying them all. This is the first time I used a live cd and it is working fine. Is there any way to install this as a permanent system on a partition on the hard drive? I used it and created some files. Where are they installed? What happens to them when you re-boot? jozien
