Hi guys. I've just released an updated version: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=43378 Most notable changes are: It can now be used to set up multimedia playback, java and flash, it automatically checks if it is ran as root at initialization, the name is changed, KDE playground is added, other small changes.

SUSE9.3 - SUSE Plugger problem with USB Serial port cable
by Bruce Samhaber 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hi, I am using a USB to Serial port cable. Initially when I start the computer and linux then insert the USB Serial port cable the device is set as /dev/ttyUSB0. If the USB Serial Port cable is removed then reinserted it becomes /dev/ttyUSB1. Each time the USB Port cable is removed then reinserted the device name is increased by one. It appears to me that upon removeal of the device that SUSE Plugger is no removeing the device from the device list. Has anyone seen this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? Thanks, -- Bruce Samhaber Senior Hardware Design Consultant Tel: 613-724-5987 112 Kenora St. Fax: 613-724-5987 Ottawa, Ontario Cel: 613-297-6961 K1Y 3L1 mailto: bsamhaber(a)sympatico.ca http://www3.sympatico.ca/marypat/

Slow 3D with NVidia.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 SuSE 10.1, stock plus YOU updates Pentium 4, 1800 Mhz, 1GiB ram GeForce2 MX/MX 400 (supported according to http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html) I wanted to check FlightGear, therefore I had to activate 3D and accel. I downloaded the newest nvidia driver, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8776-pkg1.run. I modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the same way I had done previously in 9.3 where it worked, and rebooted. I try "glxgears", small window: cer@nimrodel:~> glxgears 3596 frames in 5.0 seconds = 719.072 FPS 4023 frames in 5.0 seconds = 804.191 FPS 4011 frames in 5.0 seconds = 802.194 FPS full screen 697 frames in 5.0 seconds = 139.220 FPS 652 frames in 5.0 seconds = 130.221 FPS The gears turn slowly, and the main cpu soars to 100%. This is not normal. 3D games like ppracer (Planet Penguin racer) And Flight Gear (Flight simulator) do work, but slowly, play may stop and jerk for a second now and then. At least ppracer worked fine a year ago with SuSE 9.3. But the fact that they work prove there is 3D, otherwise they would refuse to work. I have switched from a depth of 24 bits to 16, but I don't see much difference: 7878 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1575.520 FPS <-- small window 7657 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1531.376 FPS 6948 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1389.504 FPS 7800 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1559.852 FPS 2162 frames in 5.0 seconds = 432.110 FPS <--- Full window 1394 frames in 5.0 seconds = 278.762 FPS 5008 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1001.516 FPS cpu at 100% (90% for process glxgears).

I have an usb drive new with ntfs on it. if I plug it in, it's mounted. as so, I can't make a file system on it (disk mounted) and I can't umount it (nothing relies on it, but umount think it's used) what is the standard procedure to have mkfs.ext3 run on it? may I use -F without risk (the drive is empty) thanx jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

amazon.de vs. (new) RealPlayer of 10.x
by pelibali 11 Nov '06

11 Nov '06

Hi, On my SUSE 9.1 I have no similar problem, but remembering earlier on SUSE 10.0 having an issue with media content (e.g. listening part of songs you can buy on CD) of http://www.amazon.de . It was solved later on and the most recent RealPlayer of 10.0 works flawlessly, but now I started to have the same problem on 10.2 beta 1. I googled for the answer, but that just made me more confused; would someone describe the status of this briefly?! Some saying (and the player itself also says so) that amazon's "outdated" content is not supported anymore, other people suggest not working workarounds... Thank you, Pelibali
