NO X after video card change
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 14 Jun '03

14 Jun '03

Sorry for the repost but I did not get an answer so here it goes. My video card, a Matrox G 200 went down and a replacement S3, Savage 4 was the replacement. During booting the new hardware was with the 8.1 version recognised correctly and the XF86Config was changed accordingly with Yast2 in console. After reboot I ended up in console. The grafic login did not work. Console works okay but X and KDE are out of reach. What should I do to get X back? -- ! Not on your life !

[OT] Heres a very long URL related to our favorite Unix vendor - a 10-Q filing.

http://secfilings.nasdaq.com/filingFrameset.asp?FileName=0001104659-03-0122… And this little tidbit for /. The Company’s SCOsource licensing revenue to date has been generated from license agreements that are non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, paid up licenses to utilize the Company’s UNIX source code, including the right to sublicense. How do they intend to revoke IBMs UNIX license if they say in their own 10k filing that so far only perpetual deals have been made? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/1532217 Let's see what else we can find in SCO's document of sooth saying! Cheers, Curtis.

My first drive in SuSE v8.2!!
by Jeff Bankston 14 Jun '03

14 Jun '03

Sorry for the general post, but I just installed v8.2 for the first time. I'm on my Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop, and v8.2 discovered everything automatically except for the ActionTEC internal modem. I've got work to do there, but I was astounded at how easy this product has become. I started using SuSE at v6.2, informally then but alot more seriously now, and I have to tip my hat to the SuSE development team. There was a thread earlier about someone trying to decide on a distro, I can't speak well enough for this platform. In between bites of a steak and a sip of tea, I had the laptop up and running, printing configured to my HP Jetdirect print server, news configured, and KMail running inside of 2 hours. This from a completely formatted hard drive...... Well done, SuSE!!! -Jeff

tablets and Suse (8.2 )

** I'm not as good as I was once, but I am as good once as I ever was.. "A nasty bit of rough" by David Feherty ** Okies, all you wizards out there in the ether I know some of you have been using various tablets .. and since I need a new one, I've been surfing a cdw website and seem to have found a mother lode of tablets/pens and ... well I stopped looking at number 100 of 139 .. and being now thoroughly confused , I am wondering if any of you would care to share any of your experiences w/ these things. Like the first one up looks to be not too much larger than the touchpad on a lot of laptops, but it has some sort of stylus. It's called "Interlink ePad" it's USB, and it's "extended" description begins ... > Touchpad VersaPad? Semiconductive > Actuator Type Optimized for an ordinary stylus.

( It's awfully small.. I think) Anyone know anything about it? Then we have a whole bunch of Wacom variants , beginning w/ Wacom Graphire2 ( steel blue ) dunno why they mention the colour here , they don't seem to in all the other Wacoms I looked at, perhaps this colour is , er.. *special* or the pad could read my mind , or ...? It is either serial or USB ( I'm guessing it's not both but needs to be specified on purchase ??? Does THis one work nicely w/ Suse 8.2 ??? > Pressure sensitive pen & cordless, batteryless mouse > Graphire2's pen has 512 levels of pressure, so you can easily edit your > digital photos or make a quick sketch.

They could leave out the programs included.. they are both very likely really limited , at least back in the old days they were mainly a "demo" and had many of the desirable items greyed out... and one needed to buy the "full" version in order to get any real use of them. and there seem to be a rather large assortment of sizes to choose from... Is anyone able to recommend these? ( Or point me away from them? Moving on ... > Wacom Intuos2 6X8 USB Tablet > These are what I'd first thought of when I knew I needed a new one, but this thing, although certainly not the largest surface , is pretty pricey... even if it *does* come w/ a cordless and ball-free mouse and the pen is alleged to have some sort of super sensitive grip , so one doesn't get repetitive injury from the pen.. ( I've never heard of anyone having that happen, but I spose anything is possible if you work at it long enough ) Still $350 plus shipping etc seems a lot of cash for a small (ish) tablet .. There is also one listed as "ruby" that is only about $95 , so that is weird... OTH, if it works really well , I *could* put up w/ the price ... <G> assuming *some* of your messages might be long... feel free to write to me personally TIA, y'all, -- j Talkin' to myself again; Wond'rin' if this travelin' is good. Is there something else a doin' ? Somethin' I'd be doin' if I could.

Printer Problem
by Dennis Tuchler 13 Jun '03

13 Jun '03

Since installing SuSE 8.2, documents sent to my HP Laserjet 1200 have been printed off center, vertically. The paper settings in Open Office are Letter, with margins at top and at bottom. Now, the bottom of the printed content is flush with the bottom of the page! Same problem with Abiword. How do I fix this? -- Dennis Tuchler <dtuchler(a)earthlink.net>

X11 Mouse cursor question
by Tom Nielsen 13 Jun '03

13 Jun '03

I downloaded some cursors called RedDot. I followed the directions by making a folder called .icons, then making a sub-folder called default. I added a file called index.theme and referenced the RedDot cursors. I then placed a folder under .icons/reddot/cursors which contain all the cursors. It doesn't work. Well, it kind of works. Some places I get them, some I don't. I did the same thing to my office system and they work fine. Any thoughts? I did nothing else other that what I mentioned above. Everything at home is set like my office as far as the cursors are concerned. Thanks, Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com
