Mouse cursor ( 'pointer' in Linux terminology? ]
by Roy Leembruggen 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Good day to everybody ! I have noticed the following behaviour of my mouse cursor with all versions of SuSE Linux I have used, upto the present one 7.0.: On entering the graphical login screen, the cursor appears as an X when on the desktop area outside the dialog box. Thereafter, on starting KDE the mouse cursor changes to an arrow when on an empty area of the desktop. I would prefer to have it remain as an X in this case and would like to know the script file location where I can change this behaviour. Reason for this is because the X form is easier to spot on the desktop - the arrow seems to disappear very easily and seems to hide itself in an odd corner. Would someone please tell me how? Another minor annoyance is that when logging out and selecting 'shutdown' on selecting the <OK> button it should suffice to press the <Enter> key, but nothing happens then. It only seems to recognize a mouse clicks ! However can tolerate this minor lapse - still think SuSE is the best Linux version I have come across. Bye now

Library security updates for 6.4
by Fergus Wilde 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Hi all, People might want to see that there are some new library security updates at: http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/updates/64_i386.html Can any kind soul tell me whether (and if so with what flags etc.) I need to run ldconfig or other progs after updating libraries like this, or do the enhancements in the update work after updating the rpms alone? Thanks all Fergus

Why doesn't SuSE have complete freetype package?
by Adrian Burd 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Is there any reason why SuSE doesn't supply the full freetype package including contributed software? I notice that Redhat doesn't do so either. This is particularly irksome since current versions of teTeX are set up to use programs like ttf2pk (part of the freetype package) so that users can use Truetype fonts with their TeX system. Yes, I know it's easy to download and install a complete freetype package, but since the TeX package is set up to use this code it would be nice if SuSE was set up to use it too - it would be an advantage over Redhat.
