2 laptop questions
by oguz eren 26 Jun '03

26 Jun '03

Hi, I've SuSE 8.2 pro installed on Asus L3000h laptop. Unfortunately there's no suse-laptop-e list, but i hope some of you can help me with this two questions. Since I've never used a laptop before; APM or ACPI meant nothing to me since today. KDE Control Center's power mng section which i couldn't figure out what to do. Currently i can't make my laptop suspend, or standby. The second question is about Sis650 graphics chipset. sis.com says it's a 'a high performance 2D/3D Graphic Engine', while Sax2 says 3d acceleration can't be enabled for it. So how can i play TuxRacer now? :-)

Thanks for the info Lowell. Do you know of a URL to grab the 6.30 client? Perhaps that would work. Thanks!

SuSEWatcher SNAFU
by Peter B Van Campen 26 Jun '03

26 Jun '03

Hi ALL, Strange thing: I have no SuSEWatcher icon on the taskbar, there is nothing like it shown in TOP, or in the 'window list', but if I try to start it a popup says it is already running, and that it is the 'small round icon on the task bar'. None there! How do I get it back? -- -- Proud to use SuSE Linux, since 5.2 Loving using SuSE Linux 8.2 May 2003, The City of Munich, Germany ordered 14,000 Workstation Lic for SuSE 8.2, despite M$ cutting their bid to $0.10 on the Dollar This will be remembered MyBlog http://vancampen.org/blog/ "Non Sanz Capsicum" "Not Without Cayenne" --
