RE: [SLE] ide-scsi in 7.2

Can you see the CD-RW in XCDroast? When you get the 'Unknown device' message it is often a mount error. If you have symlinked like 'ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrecorder' you might have to mount your cdrecorder as 'mount /dev/sr0 /cdrecorder'. If that does not work, post your '/etc/fstab', and the output of 'ls -l /dev |grep cdr*'here, and I suppose we could help you. And you could check this: http://seismo.ethz.ch/linux/xcdroast.html Regards, Jostein >===== Original Message From peter(a)dixson.co.uk ===== >Am I the only person in the world who can't configure ide-scsi? >The ide-scsi module is loaded according to lsmod and boot.msg but hdc and hdd >keep on working as atapi devices.

RE: [SLE] /dev/dsp???
by Harrell, Tim 30 Aug '01

Have to agree with this, it's not just the dropouts and the dsp locks. Even though I disabled arts in the KDE Control Centre, if I click on an an mp3,wav, it brings up Noatun which restarts the artsd and that often hangs my GUI system (this happens in KDE 2.1 also). I don't really want instability like that for the inconsequential benefits it offers.

Hello again SuSE friends I was wondering if I could compact mail folders with mutt, or if I compact them using kmail, will mutt still be able to use/read them.?? suse-linux-e is getting a little bit thick in megabytes. Why don't I just delete them?, what and quit show business? besides I'm a hopless packrat _!!_ Thanks for replies. John W Mislan

RE: [SLE] ATI All-In-Wonder graphics card anyone?
by Milnes Terry SSgt 52 OSS/OSOMS 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Yes, These drivers work well for the radeon card. Also, to get 3D working use DRI and GLX. To get these to work install Xfree86 4.1.0 and then untar/zip the binaries over the Xfree86 consortiums drivers. Then in your XF86Config file add load "DRI" and load "GLX" to the modules section. Now you should have 3D. Now to get the TV tuner to work remove XawTV(if already installed by RPM) and D/L the newest version from the net. Untar/zip the file and run ./configure -enable-xvideo to get XawTV to work. Continue with make and make install. Now boot up XawTV and set the channels. Enjoy TV on your linux system. -----Original Message----- From: Dale Schuster [mailto:dschuster@horizoncasino.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 7:08 PM To: Milnes Terry SSgt 52 OSS/OSOMS Cc: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: RE: [SLE] ATI All-In-Wonder graphics card anyone?

I'm using it now on a stock 7.1 install. It works well for normal operation (i.e. desktop stuff), but can't get any of the specifics to work such as 3d gaming and video/TV tuner. I imagine I need the newest KDE and proprietary drivers, but haven't taken the time yet. Just thought I'd ask the question here when I saw this thread pop up. Thanks in advance for giving me help when I haven't even started the leg-work myself. <embarrassed> ~Dale ________________________________ Dale Schuster MIS Manager Lake Tahoe Horizon Casino Resort dschuster(a)horizoncasino.com

Printing choice: CUPS vs. lprng
by Paul Abrahams 30 Aug '01

What are the pros and cons of printing with CUPS vs. lprng (both of them being improvements over the ancient Berkeley printer support)? Are there any known incompatibilities between either of them and other products such as Win4Lin? Paul
