Graphics Card
by Darren Harmon 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Hi; Not sure if this is really the right list for this topic, but since I will probably won't be switching from SuSE anytime soon maybe it is the right list (maybe they have better support for what I'm asking). I'm starting to think about my next PC (self built) and, in particular I'm looking into graphics cards. I'm looking for (currently) the best 2D (mainly) graphics card under Linux. As I run only Linux I don't play the latest 3D (or many games) on my PC so 3D isn't important (but some is nice as I play the occasional game of Tux Racer). I also would like DVD support (Yes, I watch DVD a lot). So far I've looked at Matrox G550 and Parhelia, and ATI Radeon 8500. Matrox are better with 2D but it looks like ATI are better with Linux support. I'm not that happy paying for dual monitor display as I'll only be using one monitor. Any suggestions? Thanks. -- Darren Harmon http://www.darrenharmon1.uklinux.net

Netgear broadband routers, anyone?
by Fergus Wilde 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Hi All, I am still on dialup here in the UK, but have been wondering whether to dip my toes into broadband. There are a couple of reasonably attractively priced deals involving kit like the Netgear DG814 broadband router and 4 port switch - since I had intended to to have a small network anyway, this might form a useful alternative to attaching a usb modem to the SuSE machine and then having to buy a separate hub. However, my ignorance is complete - anyone got any experience with such devices under SuSE, and / or other *nix, ideally experience that involves attaching to the BTOpenworld broadband, the only kind I actually have on offer where I live. Don't worry about patronising me, I really know zip about this category of equipment.

Which FW_ variables do I have to set?
by Alberto García Fumero 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Hi all. I have set an intranet using private directions (192.168.0..x), so only the server (192.168.0.1) has direct access to Internet and all the other machines must access Internet through that gateway. As for now, the only thing I have installed is Squid, up and running smoothly with the desired restrictions. I use SuSE 7.0 for the server. The fact is, I want to guarantee all the other Internet services to the users, but I do not know how to achieve this. Which of the FW_ variables I have to set, and how? I have tried using IPChains (remember this is SuSE 7.0) in this manner,using a script: /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_user /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ||exit 1 /sbin/ipchains -P foward DENY || exit 1 /sbin/ipchains -A forward -s192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -j MASQ || exit 1 with no success. What am I missing? TIA -- MSc. Alberto García Fumero Centro de Información para la Educación Ministerio de Educación Usuario Linux No. 97 138 ¿Windows? No, gracias!

Nat not enough ==> IPv6 gateway???
by Ronald Wiplinger 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

I have some ideas how to overcome my IP shortage: I have to my SuSE box only 1 IP, but /64 IPv6 addresses, which I could use on the LAN Since I have a lots of virtual domains, I want to bring them on different machines, and here starts the problem. I can forward all port 80 requests to another machine, but I cannot split them to different machines. I am not clear what to do, but I would like to make a IPv4-IPv6 gateway, which should work somehow like: IPv6 -----> Linux ----> target machine (IPv6) IPv4 -----> Linux: what name? Name-Address-Translation to IPv6 accordingly ------> target machine (IPv6) Another idea would be to use a proxy server instead on my Linux box, which is feeded from the internal servers, however, than I have the fool load again on my Linux box, ... bye Ronald -- Ronald Wiplinger, Technical Director Bright Networking Inc, http://www.2bright.net 7F, 192-1, Sec. 3, Tatung Rd., Shijr City, Taipei, Taiwan, RoC Tel.: +886 2 8647-1685, Mobile +886 915 653-452, Fax: +886 2 8647-2002

DHCPD setup
by Ronald Wiplinger 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

I used dhcpd 3.0 before, but SuSE 8.0 comes with 3.01, and the config file does not fit anymore. I cannot find the new words for the last part of the config file: ddns-update-style ad-hoc; bye Ronald -- Ronald Wiplinger, Technical Director Bright Networking Inc, http://www.2bright.net 7F, 192-1, Sec. 3, Tatung Rd., Shijr City, Taipei, Taiwan, RoC Tel.: +886 2 8647-1685, Mobile +886 915 653-452, Fax: +886 2 8647-2002

lexmark z54 inkjet printer
by emanon 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

greetings- i've been using the lexmark z52 inkjet printer for a couple of years. the linux driver supplied by lexmark allows complete and fine control of the printer. problem is: the latest in the line, the z54, doesn't have a lexmark provided driver. has anyone tried using this printer? perhaps the reason lexmark dropped linux support is due to the lack of a parallel port. thanks- larry
