RE: [SLE] Lost Green Screen

Take a look in /etc/lilo.conf. There should be a line that says something like: vga = 771 This is the line that enables the VESA graphics. What does yours say? If it says "vga = normal" then that will disable it. Also look for a line that says something like: append="splash=0" There could be other things on that line, but the "splash=0" part will disable the graphics. If you've got the SuSE Reference manual for SuSE 8.0, this is all explained on page 40. - Robert Storey in sunny, polluted Taiwan > > On Fri, 2002-05-31 at 20:41, Keith Jacobs wrote: > > When I first installed SuSE8 I had a nice green screen surounding the > system > > loading text, also on a green background, which was black.

RE: [SLE] SuSE to band together with Caldera, Turbolinux, and Con ectiva?
by Alleman, Lowell 02 Jun '02

I agree. This has a potential to be really big for the Linux community. IMHO: Right now I think that there are too many "major" distros, as far as general-purpose distros go. There are probably 5-10 distros in this category. Choice is a good thing, but its a little overwhelming for newbies. I think maybe 2-4 major distros would be a lot easier to choose from and yet provided the flexibility and product distinction that users want. I agree that this joint effort will most likely provide a number of standards. Wide-spread standards will be a big push forward for Linux--making it more attractive to both corporate and home consumers. If these companies are going to offer us a more unified distro that combines the technical expertise of 4 large distros companies into a single product (or even multiple products), then I say "more power to you!" > -----Original Message----- > From: eric.linux(a)t-online.de [SMTP:eric.linux@t-online.de] > Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 12:41 PM > To: Brian W.

Routing Problems in SuSE8.0
by Jethro Cramp 01 Jun '02

01 Jun '02

I am having big problems setting up a small network under SuSE8.0 Everything was fine until I got my isdn connection working beside my DSL connection. Then as far as I can tell the routing tables went to hell. I would describe what I've done but I've fiddled so much that it's a mess, so I'm going to describe what I want to achieve and pray that someone can tell me what I should be doing and where I should be doing things. I've got two computer 'beast' and 'laptop'. Beast has two ethernet cards - one connected to the local lan and the other connected to my broadband connection (PPPoE). I want the local network setup on net 192.168.15.0. The ips are: beast 192.168.15.2 laptop 192.168.15.8 At the moment they can't see (ping) one another. The PPPoE connection works, almost regardless of what I do with the eth0 and eth1, even when I delete them! I want to setup so that beast and laptop so that they can see one another so I can mount NFS etc. and setup the beast as a gateway for laptop for the internet. This was all working a few days ago. For what it's worth the output of route (with the ppp0) connection is: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 61.48.57.254 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.15.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 61.48.57.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 With the ppp0 connection closed the output of route is: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.15.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo As I say I've fiddled so much I've gone around in circles and am no longer clear on anything. Help much appreciated, Jethro -------------------------------------------------------

Lost Green Screen
by Keith Jacobs 01 Jun '02

01 Jun '02

When I first installed SuSE8 I had a nice green screen surounding the system loading text, also on a green background, which was black. I now have a full screen with a black background to the the text which is mostly white except for the words "Done". Where has this nice screen gone and how do I get it back?

How to play Wolfenstein 3D on Linux?

Hi all, I have Suse 8.0 and I would like to play Wolfenstein 3D on Linux. I got the files from my windows installation, and I got the linux binaries. I am using XFree 4.2.0 with glx, and the 3dmodules are configured (I can play to suse 3d games such as racer and tux racer). Wolfenstein exits with the error message: Sys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem Here it is the 3Ddiag outout: xearo7:/usr/local/games/wolfenstein # 3Ddiag 3Ddiag version 0.397 Verifying 3D configuration: Using 3dinfo ************************************************************ Verifying 3D configuration based on XFree86 4 for 3D board "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY (1002@4c59)": Tests for package "xf86_glx": package ... done. package files ... done.
