OK. That clears up the confusion. I'm still on track to get the SuSE 7.0 developer edition. :) Thanks! Christopher Reimer On Fri, 8 Sep 2000, Michael Hasenstein wrote: > "Christopher D.

Hello, Does anyone know why kernel 2.2.16 modules changed i2c.o to i2c-old.o? Using SuSE 6.3 (kernel 2.2.13) and trying to update to kernel 2.2.16. Any way to configure my system so I can boot either kernel and get i2c or i2c-old modules loaded?

[SLE] Quicktime Darwin Server
by doomx＠home.com 08 Sep '00

08 Sep '00

I'm experimenting with Apple's streaming server. The server is 192.168.1.99 and is a SuSE 6.4 machine, and the client 192.168.1.67 is a G4/450mp. These are both behind my real linux firewall. On the Mac client I get " The Following RTSP method:GET, was not understood by the server." I'm opting not to experiment with going through port :80 for several reasons; the default quicktime ports are :554 and :7070 Any tips? Everything is a pretty straightforward install, nothing fancy. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

[SLE] Remote Xsession
by master33＠hem.passagen.se 08 Sep '00

Hi! I need to put my Linux box in the state of "Pseudo Color" for a specifik remote x-session. In our NT box there's an option in reflection X for "Pseudo Color", and I also need to set the whole system to 256 colors. Which config file in my Linux box should be the proper one to adjust. I've tried XF86Config with the line "Visual Mode PseudoColor", but no luck with that. ************************************* See You later alligator After a while Crocodile Micke E ************************************* -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
