Problems with GeForce
by Haris Karahristianidis 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

Hi, I ' d like to ask 1)if it is possible to install suse 7.0 using a GeForce card and how is it possible 2)I installed suse with my old card (diamond viper 550) then changed the card and installed GeForce. I followed the instructions in the readme text from xfree 4.0.2 from suse ftp server and it worked fine. After that some days ago, I compiled the kernel and it stopped working. I tried to run sax2 but nothing, so I reinstalled suse with my old diamond. card... Any help? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Dear all, does anybody know of a RealAudio to WAV-file converter? I already have vsound but I'm experiencing some troubles with it, as it needs RealPlayer among other things... Any hints will be welcomed! Thanks, Martin

HD settings (more)
by Stefano Papini 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

Hi there, is there any place on the net where the most appropriate HD settings (Hdparm) are discussed and recorded? It might be useful to build a database of the disks and their settings, wouldn't it? I could start by submitting mine: Vendor Model Capacity hdparm settings Note -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quantum EL 7.6GB hdparm -p -c1 -d0 -m16 -W1 about 11MB/s IBM 4.3GB hdparm -p -c1 -d0 -m16 -W1 about 7,7MB/s Please let me now whether already exists a place hosting such information, I couldn't find anything on both www.linux-ide.org and manufacturer home pages (e.g. quantum). Best regards, Stefano Papini

As root, take a look at /var/log/messages and watch for any error message. Something like this will help: # tail -f /var/log/messages | fgrep -i 'packet log' Please, post some of those errors or send them to me on a private email. Martin

RE: [SLE] Why Linux kicks butt (OT, but I can do that ;)
by Dee McKinney 16 Jan '01

Quite true and good form Ben. I really like my box now as well. Couple plenty of RAM with the A7V/AMD combo AND a nice atapi DVD drive, and the single DVD cd install is a so nice I could cry. I have OpenBSD, IRIX and other workstations, but this one blows them away in this regard. /Dee -----Original Message----- From: Ben Rosenberg [mailto:brosenb@suse.com] Sent: Friday, January 12, 2001 7:18 AM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: [SLE] Why Linux kicks butt (OT, but I can do that ;) Just an FYI to everyone...I upgraded my personal K6-III 400 to a AMD Duron on an ASUS A7V and it went so smooth I almost pinched myself. Linux doesn't bitch at all. This is why Linux rocks and why I went to work for this company. No driver installs and reboots.. :) FYI ... anyone going for an upgrade should check out the Duron on the ASUS board damn it's nice and fast...and w/ the 512M of RAM in this box now..all I can say is "It's good to be the king " (History of the World Pt1 quote). ;) Regards, -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:brosenb@suse.com *************************************** SuSE Inc. 580 Second St Suite 210 Oakland CA 94607 U.S.A Tel: 1-510-628-3380 EXT:5086 Fax: 1-510-628-3381 *************************************** "My opinions are not a reflection of the opinions of SuSE Inc."

DocBook and SGML editing
by rjwohlfar＠bigfoot.com 16 Jan '01

16 Jan '01

I'm trying to write some help files in the DocBook format. The only cheap (free/no cost) SGML editor I found was XEmacs. I mean an editor that can show me a list of valid tags, not just a text editor. What other SGML editors are available? Are there any specifically for DocBook? Secondly, I can't seem to get XEmacs to properly load the DTD. How do I tell XEmacs where the DTD is?
