I will check for a BIOS update again (booting up Win-XP to do so will a pain though.) I was hoping there was a simple configuration choice someplace.

9.2 Any write to screen while in "dpms off" turns monitor on
by Mark Gray 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

I just ran across an annoying new feature in 9.2 which I cannot find how to disable: whenever you have your montor in "dpms off" mode, if a program writes to the screen, or the fan comes on, the monitor is turned back on. I have searched high and low, but cannot seem to find a mention of this feature or how to disable it. (Or is that the way it was supposed to work all along, and not turning back on was a now fixed bug?) My laptop is an HP Pavilion xz355, using an Intel Corp. 82845 845 (Brookdale) Chipset Host Bridge, PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0, and during boot Linux has always warned me: Warning: The ACPI AML in your computer contains errors, please nag the manufacturer to correct it. I have already applied all the updates available from YOU. What has changed? thanks for your time.

[General] Does anyone run a ASUS PC-DL board?
by Rikard Johnels 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Hi all! I am on the verge of building my new Linuxbox. I am looking at the ASUS PC-DL motherboard for Dual XEON CPU's. Does anyone have any experience running Linux on such a board? I want to know if i should go for that particular motherboard. Does Linux find everything? (Ports, Gigabit LAN, sound etc.) Is the onboard chipsets supported (S-ATA and RAID among others) I plan for dual 3.2 GHz, 2 Gigs of RAM and as many and as big disks as possible. (I don't plant to upgrade the hardware anytime soon) -- /Rikard --------------------------------------------------------------- Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh(a)norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 735 05 51 01 PGP : 0x461CEE56 ---------------------------------------------------------------

again Real Player on SuSE 9.2
by Mitja 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Can someone explain to me why Real Player doesn't play a soun, i got a message: ''Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it'' as i play a sound as user (i am a ''member of audio group'') but play if i play a sound as user. Configuration is same. And if i play a movie as user i don't hear a sound but if i play as root than is O.K. On previous version of SuSE was O.K. (since 6.8). Thank you, Mitja

Chemsketch equivalent for Linux ?
by Kaare Rasmussen 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Hi My daughter has been told to use chemsketch for her lab reports in chemistry. As I understand, it is not for drawing molecules, rather to draw laboratory equipment. Test tubes, bunsen burners, etc. Does anybody know a program that can do this in native Linux ? I see on the homepage of chemsketch that it can be made to run under Linux through Codeweaver's Crossover. But I'd rather let her run a native Linux program if possible. And I'd rather save the 40 $ if possible. -- Kaare Rasmussen --Linux, spil,-- Tlf: 3816 2582 Kaki Data tshirts, merchandize Fax: 3816 2501 Nordre Fasanvej 12 Åben 12.00-18.00 Email: kar(a)kakidata.dk 2000 Frederiksberg Lørdag 12.00-16.00 Web: www.suse.dk

Problem after install ULB gnome 2.8 from usrlocalbin.org (JAMES OGLEY)
by dclemen 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Hi. I'm using Suse 9.1 Pro. I have a very low Internet conection, so to update Gnome to 2.8, in work I go to usrlocalbin.org, and donwload all files, burn to CD and go home to update it. First, I try a "rpm -Fvh --test *.rpm" to see dependencies problems. I have several. Some of them was solve installing rpms that was in cd but not installed yet, so "-F" don't try to install. Other, as Evolution can solve, then, cause I don't use evolution, I uninstall evolution from my machine, so this will not be update. I have to install other packages from Suse9.1DVD, as gail2. After that, only a package was not solve "gswitchit" or something so. This package, that was installed, conflict with new gnome-applets-2.6.0. I try to uninstall gswitchit, but this no solve. I don't understand who a package that was unistalled can cause problem with other new ¿?. Finally I force install with "rpm -Fvh --force --nodeps *.rpm". After that reboot. First problem was gdm. It did not work. It complain about gdm.conf. File exists, but maybe worst configuration. Well login in terminal mode, and after that run "startx" (I usually do when not using gdm some years ago). X starts and seems to begin gnome, but it paint light blue background, and display a rectangle in the middle of screen, but this was white (no icons or image in this rectangle). After a few minutes, X close. Gdm is important, but I prefer now to solve gnome 2.8 load problem. What should I do to solve this problem?. What's log do you need to help me?. XFree works fine, so you don't need XFree logs. Thanks
