Enabling 3D Support For A Matrox G400
by James.Rocks＠equant.com 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

Hi, I have a dual processor machine with a G400 on which I play BZFlag (a networked tank battle game) and I get a warning saying 3D support not configured (or similar) ... I ran SAX2 to configure 3D support but it makes no difference so how do I enable 3D on such a card? James C. Rocks Equant Archway House Canary Wharf London E14 9SZ

Matlab 5.3 on SuSE 8.x?
by Steve Miller 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

Hi, I am a recently-minted (read: impoverished) PhD and am considering installing the latest version of SuSE Linux. I have a license for Matlab 5.3, and would like to avoid buying Matlab 6.1 for awhile. I have a two-part question. (1) Has anyone any experience running Matlab 5.3 on SuSE 8.x? Does it work? (2) Matlab 5.3 required libraries (which I have) and some links for compilation of C code (mex files). Has anyone tried/done this? Thanks, Steve Miller __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com

Hi Catimimi, Thanks ... is there any easy way to check if you have it installed? Also ... is there as easy a way to do this on an nVidia GeForce 2? You have to : - install xf86_glx package (download from SuSE if not on the CDrom) - install km_drm package ( on the CDrom) - run the script /usr/X11R6/bin/switch2xf86_glx James C.

RE: [SLE] SuSE 8.1 broken? Kylix 3-issue
by Hahnsson Henrik 16 Dec '02

Andre, It seems to be [at least] the 'Project open' & 'Project Save [As]'- dialogues that tend to hang, so that is the process you have to kill, and therefore the dialogue will disappear. It does both with C++ and the Delphi separately, and, don't want to disappoint you but... unfortunately it does not seem to go away after one or two kicks - it will occasionally come back. I hope that this problem doesn't follow into applications created by Kylix C++/Delphi. I do not know, but I would be surprised if Kylix was written in something else than [Kylix] C++ and not using the same libraries. Most of my applications use file I/O, but right now I haven't had time to test (been busy with a Delphi-MySQL app on Windoz... :-o ) /Henrik w/ SuSE since 6.2 w/ Borland since Turbo Pascal 3.0 -----Original Message----- From: Andre Truter [mailto:andre.truter@intekom.co.za] Sent: 14. joulukuuta 2002 9:34 To: Dragan Stancevic Cc: Hahnsson Henrik; SUSE Subject: Re: [SLE] SuSE 8.1 broken?

Up to now I have only tried Kylix C++. Now I tried the same thing with Kylix Delphi. It had no problems, open a preject with no hangs. Then I started Kylix C++ while delphi is running, tried to open a project and it hangs. ps did show one process that is in 'R' state. I straced it and after a while BCB came back to life, but the file select dialogue was gone. I tried to opena project again. This time it worked. I closed down all Kylix IDE's and fired up BCB again. This time it all worded fine. Looks like you need to revive one of them onece and then it works after that.

sendmail, MX records & Majordomo
by Veggies Unite! 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

I hope that this is the correct place to e-mail this question - if not, I would appreciate being re-directed. I've set up SuSe 8.0 on a computer running through a router and a cable modem. I have a static IP, and I have a domain name pointing to the IP via a Registrar that also handles a POP3 account. I've set up Majordomo on my computer and would like to configure sendmail as a mail server so that it will handle mailing lists aliases for Majordomo. Also, I would need to run a POP server to allow me to receive mail from my server instead of the Registar. In order for the aliases for majordomo to work, do I have cancel my mail coming from the POP3 account via the Registrar? Is imap something that I should look into vs sendmail? Please let me know of any documentation on this or if you have specific advice on what I would need to do. Thanks, Yvette _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

RE: [SLE] SuSE 8.1 + Toshiba Tecra 8100 = Sound Bug?
by Hahnsson Henrik 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

Dan, Having seen the same problems on my Tecra8100: The fix for the mouse going crazy is mentioned on the SuSE support web: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/wessels_sax247.html which says add the following line to /etc/init.d/boot.local: /usr/sbin/sysp -s mouse > /dev/null Haven't experienced any mouse problems since... The Suspend-> Resume works, even though it reports a fatal error with the sound server. But when I shut down afterwards it causes my display to show two screens. I don't know how to describe it in words, so I use the following HighRes graphic: +---------------------------------+ | | | |Shutdown statement 1 |Shutdown| | |Shutdown statement 2 |Shutdown| | |aaaa |aaaa | | |bbbbbb |bbbbbb | | |ccccccc |ccccccc | | |ddd |ddd | | |eeeeeeee |eeeeeeee| | |..... |..... | | | +---------------------------------+ Not that it matters, but it's obvious that the Yamaha sound driver and the Suspend-> Resume really mixes things up and I'm not happy with that. /Henrik -----Original Message----- From: Dan Pauls [mailto:danpauls@earthlink.net] Sent: 15. joulukuuta 2002 16:20 To: SuSE Subject: [SLE] SuSE 8.1 + Toshiba Tecra 8100 = Sound Bug? There was a thread on this about a month ago but it ended without a good fix. YAST2 recognizes and sets up the sound card without complaint, but sound card only produces "static". Booting with ACPI=OFF and doing a "Suspend" (from KDE laptop applet) and then resuming result in normal sound operation. A potential hazard of this workaround is that the mouse pointer can "go crazy" after resuming resulting in all sorts of havoc - CTRL-ALT-BKSP bails out of this but is a little drastic just to have sound. The implication is that there is some sort of interaction between the power management and sound, but I am way too much a newbie to even begin to troubleshoot what this might be. If there are logs or configuration settings that I can provide that could give a clue to this behavior, let me know and I'll forward them.
