Where to find "unique_key" for hardware.
by Curtis Rey 01 Jan '03

01 Jan '03

I have a belkin "nostromo - N50" gamepad. I have been playing around with an open source dirver that is being developed by a couple of people from belken. At on point it "kinda" worked but everything in the Makefile is commented out and one has to guess about which features/commands to uncomment - hence why it "kinda" worked. So, after trying a few things it is apparent the it most likely has been registered more then once and may very well be conflicting with itself. I have noticed in the Hardware info page of YaST CC the it has both an old_unique_key and a Unique_key. I had to delete a unique key before to get my sound card to re-install back in SuSE 7.x. So I'm thinking that it might be worth removing this key and starting over again - but I can't remember where these keys are kept. Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA, Curtis. -- Billboard Writer vs. Literature = Micorsoft vs. Computing,

Playing DVDs
by John Pettigrew 01 Jan '03

01 Jan '03

I've been trying to play DVDs on my SuSE 8.1 box with only partial success. Using either MPlayer or Xine, I can play DVDs but the playback is very jerky. Playing DVDs on the same box (Athlon 1.2 GHz, GeForce2 MX/400) under Windows is smooth, so there is definitely some improvement possible. One possibility that occurred to me is DMA settings for the DVD drive. However, under SuSE 8.1, it's running as SCSI emulation. How do I check whether DMA is enabled - there's no listing under the DMA tool for the emulated drives. What else should I look at, or do I resign myself to not watching DVDs under Linux?

Syslog problems
by ziltener＠hispeed.ch 01 Jan '03

01 Jan '03

Hey all perhaps anyone out there could help me: I am running syslog on my Suse 8 box. The syslog should collect messages from different cisco boxes. I know that cisco boxes send syslog messages with the facility local7. But all this syslog messages from the cisco boxes doesn't arrive. I am sure that the cisco boxes send out the messages (There is also Kiwi Syslog Win Server and this server get it) Question: Why I don't have any listing udp 514 port when I do netstat -l ? And what reason could be that no messages arrive form outside the box.? Here my syslog.conf: # For Network Devices local7.debug -/var/log/syslog local7.* /dev/console thanks in advanced Oliver

XMMS will - just open the device file for the CD drive in the playlist (this will normally be /dev/cdrom) And of course it opens OGG files and streams, as well as Real Audio files & streams if you download the plugin James, listening to BBC Radio Five with XMMS -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james(a)rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter(a)myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.1).

by p p 01 Jan '03

01 Jan '03

I needed to install GTK2 to run eclipse.. With my desktop this went smoothly and less thatn 30 mins I got everything fixed. But now with my laptop I used same sources, configured them, make and make installs went through without errors, but now when I try to launch eclipse i get: "No fonts found, this propably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. You may need to edit the fonts.conf" I have fonts installed, Ihave installed: pkgconfig Xft (Xft2) fontconfig 2.1 glib 2.2.0 atk-1.2.0 Pango-1.2.0 gtk+-2.2.0 Any ideas how to get this working ? Pete

ftp network problem
by fsanta 01 Jan '03

01 Jan '03

Hi everyone. What must I do to allow a client on my internal network to be able to do ftp with the outside world? Only the server can do it at the moment. 8.1, Squid and SuSEfirewall2 with ports 80, 21 and ftp_data open. Thanks Steve.
