3D Graphics adapters for Linux
by Ken Hughes 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

There seems to be a number of threads lately (yeah, I know I've prolly started a couple myself...) concerning getting 3D working on SuSE. Could folks make some strong recommendations for 3D cards that are known to provide functional 3D "out of the box"? I've heard Ben confirm that the Diamond Viper V770 (RivaTNT2) works great, and I seem to recall Lenz recommending the Matrox G450. Are there any other good ones? I've searched the SuSE support database for "3D", but nothing very helpful came back. Just thought this might be helpful for some of us..

Anti-Aliasing: How do I do it?
by Timothy R. Butler 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

Hi everyone, The SuSE 7.1 box advertises the fact that XFree86 4.02 has Anti-Aliasing, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work. I copied my collection of TrueType fonts over, set 'em up, but to my dismay the Renderer doesn't seem to engage and smooth the fonts. :-( What do I need to do (BTW, all of my TT fonts are in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Managed directory that I setup to make KFontInstaller happy)? Do I need KDE 2.1 before this will work? Thanks, Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R. Butler Universal Networks Information Tech.

Terminal
by Scarlett Gately 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

I now have 7.1 installed and configured. Yeah! :) I just can't figure out why ctrl-c does not work in the terminal. It did in 7.0. For example I have wvdial working for internet connection and to disconnect you push ctrl-c. No go I get c. Can someone please help. I am using the default English US keyboard layout. Thanks Scarlett Scarlett Gately scarlett(a)excelco.com NetworkAdministrator

kapm-idled eats cpu and won't die
by Steve Pauly 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

Greetings all, I just did a clean install of 7.1 on my amd k6-2 266 desktop, keeping my /home partition from 7.0. Kde 2 looks good except I noticed things were sluggish compared to 7.0. When I did a top I noticed that process kapm-idled was sucking up the cpu to the tune of 60 to 90%. I discovered this was power management which I don't care about, so I tried to kill -9 it but the thing won't die. I could not find anything on the suse site and hardly anything on deja.com. Anyone noticed this problem? Anyone fixed it or have ideas? Thanks, Steve.

Hate to be picky but you seem to be approaching the entire issue from the wrong angle. Giving us error output does in itself not help with debugging your problems. We need to see your smb.conf and maybe your permissions on the directories. You haven't even said what you are trying to share if printer or drives and which way. I really suggest you read these chapters and follow them step by step.
