Hi,
I'dd like to know what the following files in the directory /boot are about.
Can anyone give me a clue or point me to some documentation?

Thanks in advance,

We received a copy of 9.1 today at work and I have installed this on three
machines with dissapointing results.
The first machine was an IBM Thinkpad R40 with a Centino 1600 CPU. This
machine worked fine and the performance was great.
The second and third machines were unusable, KDE takes serveral minutes to
start, attempting to start YAST for instance will take about a minute for the
SU box to appear and then another minute for YAST to load. I get similar
results for all applications I have tried, in all instances the system
performs like a P100 with very little RAM.
The machines that run slowly are both Athlon XP based machines, one being an
Athlon XP 2400 with 1GB of DDR RAM on an ECS Elite motherboard.
The second machine is an XP2000 with 512MB of PC3200 RAM on a PCChips
motherboard.
I have applied all the updates with no effect.
Any ideas would be appreciated, I've had to switch back to 9.0 as the whole
9.1 experience is unuseable has anybody got any ideas?

I have a hard drive that works perfectly well under Linux but Partition Magic
thinks it's incorrectly formatted. I've heard that there's some disagreement
between PowerQuest (the company that wrote PM) and the Linux world over what
the correct format of a partition table is; each thinks the other has it
wrong. Does anyone on this list know about the disagreement and the best way
to get around it? (The SuSE database yields nothing.)

Good day,
Yes there are legal reasons why SuSE cannot have DVD playback of those
pesky movies, but what be done? Would it be too expensive for
Novell/SuSE to license a codec?
Seems like there is a new copyright law in Germany that has made PackMan
be more cautious.
No one has made a player for Linux that is 100% legal, is it due to
expense?

Hi all!
I am wondering how to get 3D support for my Radeon 9200. This has been a
source of endless frustration for me. I once had to repartition and
reinstall SUSE 9.0 because of the following symptoms I got after
changing ANY setting in SaX: there would be no monitor output (no
picture on my monitor, but Linux is running - you can tell because of
the HDD activity light) when the system reaches runlevel 5 (full GUI, X
server started). The system would boot to failsafe/console only but
would give the same symptom when the command startx was executed. This
seems to be the problem with Mandrake 9.1, which I have tried on my
machine a few months ago - the installation runs fine, but when the X
server is started, the monitor output goes bye-bye. It put me off Linux
for a while - we had thought it a graphics card/monitor issue. I was
pleasantly surprised when SUSE detected my hardware, but was
disappointed to find that I had no 3D and was on 16-bit colour (the
default settings which I am still using now).
I have installed the fglrx driver rpm, and SaX ticked the checkbox
marked "3D support", but executing the command glxinfo | head gives the
following results:
-
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: No
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context
client glx vendor string: SGI
client glx version string: 1.2
client glx extensions:
-
Obviously, 3D has not been enabled. Also, the ATi control panel
(fireglcontrol) does not operate completely; it says the X11 extensions
are missing.
For your reference, my graphics hardware setup is:
- Sapphire Technologies Atlantis ATI Radeon 9200 (128MB DDR frame
buffer, AGP 8x, VGA/TV-out/DVI)
- Samsung SyncMaster 152T TFT-LCD connected via DVI
SUSE detected this as:
- RV280 5961 (fglrx)
- Samsung SyncMaster 4S
- 3D acceleration enabled
Is there a way to get 3D support for my hardware? How do I get my
Syncmaster 152T identified correctly? Am I better off buying an NVidia
GeForce FX 5700 instead?
Please help because, among other things, I can't play 3D games and the
desktop lags when dragging windows around. :(
Cheers,
Carl
Hi,
where has the icons-xpm rpm gone in SuSE 9? Apparently it existed until
SuSE 8.2 as icons-xpm-101.0-707.noarch.rpm.
Running fvwm2 on SuSE 9 without this package gives buttons with text
labels instead of buttons with icons.
We are currently preparing to upgrade our cluster from an older version
of SuSE Linux to SuSE Linux 9.0 and a primary goal (and reason to stick
with SuSE) is to have as few changes in the user environment as
possible. Having same-looking fvwm2 configs is part of this. So these
icons are somewhat important for us.
Of course it works installing just the RPM from SuSE 8.2, but is that
the 'canonical' solution? Where has this RPM gone in SuSE 9? Is this
just a bug in SuSE 9? Or am I just to stupid to find it? Or has it been
removed on purpose?
Thanks, Dominik.

I just noticed a couple more posts (the ones about gaim and kbear) that
suggest people are having a lot of trouble with KDE 3.2. For myself, it
still is giving me big problems, most noticeably the fact that the desktops
don't show up on the panel (the bar across the bottom of the screen). And my
attempts to install it by several methods have been only partly successful.
The problems have included but not been limited to dependency failures that I
have few clues for resolving.
If someone asked me at this point if they should install KDE 3.2, I'd say no.
Whatever improvements it may provide are not worth the hassle of the
installation problems. Unless you're one of those folks that likes living on
the bleeding edge, of course.

I want to get a DVD burner. Anyone with recommendations? I was thinking
of the Sony.

ever since I installed suse 9, mounting my floppy take much more time
that it did in 8.2. It will mount, just very slow--it just seems to read

Any suggestions??
Hello,
Can anyone recommend a wireless (802.11b) adapter that will work with Suse 8.1. I'm new to wireless. I'm using a Linksys router, which works fine. I checked out the Linksys web site to see if their wireless adapter supports Linux but saw no mention of it on the wireless adpaters. I downloaded the drivers for their adapter and it appears to be for Windows. I heard Belkin has adapters that support Linux.
Any advice?
Thanks, Matt
