Installed it and fired up kwintv. Without doing anything it works. Haven't tried the remote or radio yet. I can watch TV. My only problem is when I exit kwintv the sound keeeeeeeps on goning. To stop the sound I have to either go back into kwintv and mute it then exit or REBOOT. I can go all the way down to run level 1 and it's still playing. I did not touch /etc/modules.conf to get it to play. Could there be a setting there that will let the sound stop when I exit kwintv? -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh(a)cfl.rr.com

KDE2 Login Manager

The system actually runs very well but, for completeness, there is one item niggling me. In Control Centre, System, Login Manager I have set up the Graphical Log In but have not been able to find a way to implement it. I still get KDM from KDE 1 appearing on boot up. Using Yast 1 I have the option of KDM, XDM or GDM as the choice. There is probably a configuration file I need to edit somewhere. Could anyone point me in the right direction and, indeed, what is the KDE2 Login manager called (KDM2 perhaps) Thanks -- Stu "The specification said Windows 95 or better, so I installed Linux"

How can I > stop this behavior? Other than using the first command line that I mentioned > above. First off, when I first tried to follow the kde1.and.kde2 instructions I couldn't do what is said to do to the /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession file. It was because i had installed x4.0 from the xfree site instead of suse's site. At that time I went ahead and got x4.0.1 FROM SUSE and installed it. Then I was able to make that mod. If your Xsession file didn't look exactly like the kde1.and.kde2 how-to described then that could be a problem. As long as you haven't gotten X4.0 or > from the xfree site then I can assume that your Xsession file is SuSE's and ok. The same holds true for any .xsession file in any user directory. If any of the above is true for you then you need to get x4.0.1 from suse and install it first. OR I could give them to ya. Next, are you sure you are using kdm instead of xdm. That is configured in /etc/rc.config. DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" Also the default WINDOWMANAGER is setup in /etc/rc.config also and is set to DEFAULT_WM="kde" on my machine. Run SuSEConfig after any changes to /etc/rc.config. Back to the Xsession mods. Does yours look like this? # xinitrc if they exist XSESSION_IS_UP=yes export XSESSION_IS_UP if test "$WINDOWMANAGER" = "kde2"; then source /opt/kde2/bin/kde2 export KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde2 exec startkde exit 1 fi if test -f $session ; then test -x $session && exec $session exec /bin/sh $session elif test -f $xinitrc ; then test -x $xinitrc && exec $xinitrc . . . The above is from SuSE's install of X4.0.1. The one from the xfree site will no look like SuSE's and any attempt to put the recomended mods in it won't work right. Another thing I did was add a couple of lines to /etc/profile.local that just do a double check for kde2. if test "$WINDOWMANAGER" = "kde2" ; then source /opt/kde2/bin/kde2 fi Oh, and here is my /opt/kde2/bin/kde2 file. #!/bin/sh export KDEDIR=/opt/kde2 export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt2 export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh(a)cfl.rr.com
