by Russ Stewart 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

Hi Its a new install of 10.1 Mobo ia an ASUS P4RD1-MX with an integrated graphics card Radeon XPRESS 200 5A41 PCIE The initial driver was set by SAX2 as radeon which sets the wrong Vertical refresh rate, the monitor is a Medion MD7475AB, which on another OS works at 1024x 768 75 Hz. I've tried both the xorg driver supplied with the Mobo and downloaded the ATI xorg driver, niether have made any difference. xorg.conf has now gotten a bit corupt with manual editing , trying both radeon and fglrx drivers. s So now a fresh install incase YAST will allow the X config to be tried. can anyone recommend how to set up the video driver on this mobo Any help appreciated, TIA Russ

C'mon... this is not a discussion any more, this is just childish behaviour: everybody wants to have it like he wants it. None is giving arguments for neither of the possibilities. Either someone (list administrator) just decides, how it has to be. The users have to get used to it. If the administrator of the list wants, he can open a poll on some websites. But this childish pro and contra on the list is just annoying and for sure it will scare away any new users at the moment, as there is absolutely no relevance about openSUSE in general in it. I know: somehow I started it, as I was among the first to ask if it could be reactivated as it was before. But what's going on is far beyond good and bad. So please: get used to the new way it works and work with it. Or create a new mailing list for this specific topic. And let's talk again about openSUSE on this list.

[opensuse] What a shit is this setup
by Eberhard Moenkeberg 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

Hi, see subject. I get all replies double (from list and from private), and if I answer one of them, it does not appear within the list even if I have set "both" in pine. This is so crazy that I tend to resign all my activity (including reading) here. Anyone feeling so much annoyed as I am by this "puretanian" list configuration? It seems to me like some debian playchilds have made it into SUSE/Novell: big ideas of purity in the heads, but running against the nearest walls. And after that, not recognizing that their heads have crashed. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke(a)gwdg.de, em(a)kki.org)

Hi all, Are there any YUM respositories of the updated Gnome files like for KDE? I've found files, but they seem to only exist for YaST2 updating, none seem to have the ability to work with YUM/KYum. Is Smart able to see and use the yast mirrors/respositories? thanks for any help Lee

Palm LifeDrive
by James Ogley 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

Saw a mail on the list over the weekend asking if the LifeDrive works with Linux, I'm afraid I deleted it, but... Yes, it does - sort of. I use gnome-pilot at the moment[1] and it works for me if I wait for the USB detection to finish when I plug it in and then restart gpilotd. This can normally be achieved by right-clicking on the Pilot applet on my GNOME panel and selecting restart, but sometimes it blocks the applet responding so I have to kill it from the command line. You don't need to restart it then if you use the applet, the applet automatically restarts it for you, then sync as normal. However after each sync, even if you've not unplugged the LifeDrive, you need to restart gpilotd before you sync again. This is a general problem with pilot-link 0.11.x and recent Palm devices. [1] One day we'll all move to OpenSync - to help bring that day about by testing and bug reporting, use the OpenSync repo in the Build Service and if you want GUI action, also use the multisync-gui package from the Home:/Riggwelter repo. -- James Ogley james(a)usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/imin

CUPS scheduling in SuSE 10.0
by John 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

SuSE 10.0, CUPS 1.1.23 Is it possible to restrict the availability of a printer so that it will only print between certain hours although it accepts print jobs 24/7? I've noticed quotas but this seems to be number of jobs or pages per time period. I'm trying to ensure that any jobs printed late at night are held in the queue until the rest of the household is awake the next day. TIA John

[opensuse] Yast2: creating local dir installation source
by Sam 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

Version: 10.1 When I go to add a new local installation source I get an error. I'm using "Add->Local directory..." I enter "/tmp/mysource" and it returns: 'Unable to create installation source from URL 'dir:///tmp/mysource'.' It doesn't matter whether 'mysource' exists or not. Any directory (or file) I enter gives the same error. I'm logged in as root. http and ftp work fine. Any ideas? Thanks, Sam __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

by davidr 14 Aug '06

Any one else having a problem connecting to secure sites since downloaded the latest updates to KDE 3.5.4? (kdebase3 v 3.5.4-19.1) for example clicking the 'open bugs for 10.0' link on http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports results in a 'Could not connect to host bugzilla.novell.com' error. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
