Sax2 dualhead configuration
by houghi 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

I have installed Beta2 with the boot.iso and "minimal desktop" I try to install either a second monitor or a second videocard with sax2 and I am unable to do this. In my standard 9.1 I go in sax2 to Desktop and then Monitor and add my second card and go to Desktop and Grapics card to add a card. I have a Matrox G550 and this worked with Beta1. What am I not seeing? houghi -- Endless Loop: n., see Loop, Endless. Loop, Endless: n., see Endless Loop. -- Random Shack Data Processing Dictionary

Monitor problem after a fresh install of 9,3
by Chaitanya Krishna A 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

Hi, I am posting this mail after reading all the mail from Gil, Stan, etc.. It's not as bad as Gil's but still ... I did a clean install of 9.3 yesterday. The problem is that after the install the screen looks hazy than it's previously. My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 793DF. The product manual says it has a max resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz and a display 312+/-4 mm and 234+/-4 mm. H Sync 30-70 Hz and v Sync 50-160 Hz. I started SaX2 and set all these settings. In SaX2 there's no entry for the monitor I mentioned. So I set to VESA. I would like to know if any one of you guys have an optimum setting for this monitor or if anything else might help. These are the lines from xorg.conf (got from Gil, etc. mails). # /.../ # SaX generated X11 config file # Created on: 2005-08-16T22:27:12+0530. # # Version: 4.8 # Contact: Marcus Schaefer <sax(a)suse.de>, 2002 # # Automatically generated by [ISaX] (4.8) # PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! # Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/PEX" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/Type1" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin7/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/baekmuk:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/japanese:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/kwintv" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/uni:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ucs/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ucs/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ucs/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/Type1" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/sgi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/xtest" FontPath "/opt/kde3/share/fonts" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS0" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS1" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS2" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS3" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS4" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS5" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS6" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS7" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS8" InputDevices "/dev/psaux" InputDevices "/dev/logibm" InputDevices "/dev/sunmouse" InputDevices "/dev/atibm" InputDevices "/dev/amigamouse" InputDevices "/dev/atarimouse" InputDevices "/dev/inportbm" InputDevices "/dev/gpmdata" InputDevices "/dev/mouse" InputDevices "/dev/usbmouse" InputDevices "/dev/adbmouse" InputDevices "/dev/input/mice" InputDevices "/dev/input/event0" InputDevices "/dev/pointer0" InputDevices "/dev/pointer1" InputDevices "/dev/pointer2" InputDevices "/dev/pointer3" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" EndSection Section "Module" Load "glx" Load "type1" Load "extmod" Load "dbe" Load "freetype" Load "v4l" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "kbd" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Name" "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse" Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "Monitor" Option "CalcAlgorithm" "CheckDesktopGeometry" DisplaySize 320 240 HorizSync 31-70 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "1280X1024@75HZ" VendorName "--> VESA" VertRefresh 50-75 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[0]" Modeline "1280x1024" 114.54 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1062 Modeline "1280x1024" 117.45 1280 1368 1504 1728 1024 1025 1028 1062 Modeline "640x480" 25.10 640 656 720 800 480 481 484 498 Modeline "640x480" 29.84 640 664 728 816 480 481 484 501 Modeline "1280x1024" 135.00 1280 1296 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +HSync +VSync Modeline "1024x768" 75.17 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 799 Modeline "1280x1024" 108.78 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1059 EndSection Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" EndSection Section "Device" BoardName "865 G" BusID "0:2:0" Driver "i810" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "NoDDC" Screen 0 VendorName "Intel" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "off" Screen "Screen[0]" EndSection Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection Section "Extensions" EndSection Any help?

Getting Windows to be as intelligent as Linux - mounting partitions
by Shriramana Sharma 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

Dear all, "Getting Windows to be as intelligent as Linux" - okay I know this is probably not going to be possible within some millionaire's lifetime, but hey, I stand a better chance of getting an answer here rather than on a Windows forum (see P.S). If I got this right from my dad, here goes the story: He installed Win 98 on his system. He created a new FAT partition on hdb after that. (hda had three Windows-recognizable partitions.) So his hdb1 got named H, (C to E for three vfat-s on hda and F and G for two optidrives - which were all recognized and allotted drive letters on Win 98 setup). After this, he installed Win XP to dual-boot with Win 98 (actually, quad-boot with Linux and BSD, but Win XP doesn't know that) but now Win XP detected all the hd partitions first, and assigned the optidrives drive letters *after that*, so hdb1 now got called F, and the optidrives G and H. (I might be mixing up a few minor details, but the general idea stays...) Now is there any way to kick some sense into Windows and make it show a partition for what it is, the first partition on the first drive, and so on, like in Linux using hda? hdb? etc...? Okay, I can't expect Windows to forgo its drive lettering system, but at least can I bully it into displaying them in the correct *order*? I want all hd partitions to come before the optidrives in the drive letter sequences. P.S: One of the biggest things I like about Linux and its community: 1. Linux reads Windows partitions while not vice versa 2. Linux boots Windows partitions while not vice versa 3. Linux reads Windows file formats while not vice versa 4. Linux knows Windows, while not vice versaa. P.P.S: (I was wondering if I should have sent this to OT, but this is not a non-technical question so...)

nvidia tvout
by Siposs Zoltan 21 Aug '05

Hi Buddies! Have You ever tried to set up nvidia (geforce4 mx 440) tv-out under suse 10 beta? I tried, but have no usable result. There are no error messages, everything seems ok. And no picture on TV... Grrrr! I am using same values in xorg.conf, as previously in other linux distributions. That's all. I hope, it will be better some day. Regards, Zolix

openSUSE trial version or?
by Steve Jeppesen 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

Good day list, I have been very impressed with SUSE 9.3 Pro, and am considering replacing my Mandrake 10.1 (main O.S.) but am sort of concerned that after a month goes by, I'll get some notice saying 9.3 Pro was a trial version. IRC, Novell provided SUSE 9.3 Pro as a free downloadable trial in the past. Since the beginning of Aug 1st, has there been a change in the iso's provided so that they are full, non-time restricted - version of SUSE that will not expire in any way? TIA Steve

How to detect if a swap partition is available and active?
by Shriramana Sharma 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

I guess the subject line says it. I'm testing out my dad's installation of Yoper, and I think his swap partition is not working. Now I know this is not a Yoper forum, but generally, what would be the procedure to detect if a swap partition was available and working?
