Not really what I am looking for, I wish to see the actual screen output of server 'X' on a client screen terminal 'Y'. The same as in MS Windows with PC anywhere, one can take over the screen of another PC and see exactly as if you were sitting at the desk of the aforementioned PC.

Wolfenstein under Suse 8.0

I wonder if anyone can point me the right direction here. I have Suse 8.0 with a Geforce 2 mx400 gfx card. I have installed the Nvidia drivers and gears give me around 1500 fps so i guess the 3d stuff is working ok. 3Ddiag gives the following results Verifying 3D configuration: Using 3dinfo ************************************************************ Verifying 3D configuration based on XFree86 4 for 3D board "nVidia Coorporation NV11 (10de@0110)": Tests for package "NVIDIA_GLX": package ... done. package files ... done.

XDMCP Error
by Werner Alber 26 Aug '02

26 Aug '02

Hallo allerseits! Ich versuche von meinem Windows PCs (NT/2000/ME) per Exceed X-Emulator den KDE-Desktop in ein Windows-Fenster zu bekommen. Das hat bisher (bis Suse 7.3) auch anstandslos geklappt. Nun habe ich 8.0 installiert und siehe da: Beim Aufruf erhalte ich auf dem PC die Fehlermeldung "Fatal Error: XDM Session denied". Frage: wo kann ich nachlesen wie man XDM unter 8.0 konfiguriert (ich hab's versucht - leider eerfolglos). Kann ich statt XDM auch KDM verwenden? Für jeden Tipp dankbar ... Werner

The "hits" are caused by the *vnetd *module being run by Win4Lin. This module is loaded on Win4Lin bootup as default even if you did NOT select it on installation of W4L (when you would have selected Winsock rather than vnet). Even though most people would not run W4L on a network nevertheless vnetd is loaded on bootup. If you are running W4L as a single-user then you can easily stop the 5-second "hits" by editing, as root, the //etc/default/*merge*/ file and setting the parameter MERGE_VNETWORK=ON to *OFF*. After you have done this then, if you have booted Linux with the W4L kernel, you can KILL the process *kvnetd *(do /ps aux /as root and you will see it in the list) and then execute on the command line //etc/rc.d/init.d/Win4Lin/ to re-initialise Win4Lin (but without vnetd this time) if you want to keep your current session going, or simply reboot. And no more "hits" :-). Cheers.

Dragging in Konq
by Brian Marr 26 Aug '02

26 Aug '02

If I have a split screen in Konq and want to drag a file across, I always get into trouble. I end up dropping it into some directory that I don't want. I often have to click on "up" to go to the parent directory and then drag onto this. This creates an extra step. Is there an easier way ? Brian Marr

Setserial.

26 Aug '02

Hi. I have a serial card in a linux computer. It has a 16550A UART. Is set to ttyS02, 0x03e8 and IRQ to 5. How do I set up this card via the setserial command ?. The man setserial does not tell me much I can understand :-) -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards - Vy 73 de oz4kk Erik Jakobsen - erik(a)urbakken.dk SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional.
