Eval. of 10.0
by Fred A. Miller 23 May '06

23 May '06

I installed 10.1 from the DVD via SUSE yesterday. Xgl is a GREAT work in progress, however, it's NOT ready for "production" use yet. There are a number of bugs in Xgl/Compiz. Kpackage, for example, renders the ability to minimize or close any window with the "corner" icons useless....no icons there any longer. Yast responds strange at times, windows don't come to the forefront with a move of the mouse as they should, and there IS a performance hit with Xgl. The game X2 The Threat won't run. Other 3D games claim there's no 3D graphics care available but will run anyway, I couldn't get a Konsole window to show typed chrs...no matter what options I chose, and no transparent Konsole. Plus, there's some oddities of windows not resizing, etc. I rewrote my scripts so that Xgl and Compiz don't run......waiting till it's solid. The upside, however, is that at least with the new nVidia driver, there IS a NICE performance gain! I'm using a GeForce FX5300 card with 128MB of RAM - a PCI Express 16X. Now it really cooks! For comparison sake, I know how "quick" XP is on this box, and SUSE 10.0 is DEFINITELY much quicker in ALL video related tasks. Fred -- Paid purchaser of ALL SuSE Linux releases since 6.x

Suse 10.1
by ronw＠paradise.net.nz 23 May '06

I ahve just finished D/L 10.1 and are ready to use it. What is the recommendation is it better to upgrade version 10.0 or blow it away and install 10.1 anew. Normally I would just start afresh but I do have a lot of stuff installed on the box and I wonder if I would be better off upgrading seeing its only a minor upgrade. What do others think? - Ron Wilson

Online Update in 10.1 && IPV6
by Christophe Veber 23 May '06

23 May '06

After installing 10.1 GM, i tried to register for online updates via the button in the yast2 menu. However, I constantly received a message that the name could not be resolved. After disabling IPV6 the registration worked fine. Did anybody have this behaviour, too? Christophe

java amd64 plugin
by Greg 23 May '06

23 May '06

Is there a java amd64 plugin for firefox. I downloaded the amd64 jre and sdk versions of java 1.5.0_6 and neither had the /plugins dir like the i386 documentation suggests ? I also found it strange that installing the java plugin via YaST2 inserted the i386 plugin yet it didnt work when restarting firefox ? Which also makes me wonder, so its ok to install i386 rpms into an amd64 version of SUSE ?

Xgl with Intel cards
by Francis Giannaros 23 May '06

23 May '06

What is the status on Xgl with different Xgl cards? I've tried installing suse+xgl on a few computers with Xgl cards, and I generally get errors. Example error: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) An example of the exact card that's being used: lspci|grep -i graphic 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) I realise that running xgl wouldn't be as fast as with an nvidia, but it'd be nice if it'd still be possible to get it to work. Any thoughts? Kind thoughts, Francis Giannaros (apokryphos).

"Urgent" windows in XGL+Compiz with KDE
by Francis Giannaros 23 May '06

23 May '06

Just wondering if this issue was ever resolved. In kde with compiz as wm, whenever an application has to flash in the taskbar , i.e. a Kopete window when I have a message... once I have clicked on it, the flash remains there, the window is still highlighted, implying that it's urgent. It doesn't go away until compiz is restarted, or kwin is started. Any ideas? :) Kind thoughts, Francis Giannaros (apokryphos).
