I've had it with trying to get a NVidia card working. Has anyone tried the ATI Radeon 9000? What about drivers- I can't find any reference to a 3D driver for linux anywhere. TIA Terence

Anyone have a clue which config file for KDE handle TTF's? I noticed that w/ one of the last couple build of KDE3 that it's not seeing my TTF's. I've got anti-aliasing enabled..but I'm not sure what controls this. Thanks, -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. -GC --=====-----=====--

SuSE versus PCI Modems -- Serious Market Roadblock?
by Colburn 05 Sep '02

05 Sep '02

How does SuSE expect to make it in the general user marketplace if they cannot even talk to and through common PCI modems? (Given that ISA slots are becoming rare on newer mobos.) Sure seems that someone needs to address this before Micro$oft uses it in another of their attacks on the veracity of Linux in general and SuSE in specific. Meanwhile this means yet another trip to buy something else to replace a common piece of hardware that M$ readily utilizes and Linux/SuSE cannot. (Forced to buy a modem for 3x what a M$-compatible one costs is not cool. This is beginning to co$t like dealing with Apple all over again.) Sigh ... doc

Upgrading Mozila?
by Simon Taplin 05 Sep '02

05 Sep '02

If I want to upgrade to Mozilla/Mozilla 1.1 from Mozilla 0.98, do I just download the .rpm packege from the SuSE FTP site and do an rpm -uvh package? Thanks Simon --- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com) Version: 6.0.384 / Virus Database: 216 - Release Date: 2002/08/21
