[opensuse] 10.2 and SaX2 problem
by Carl Hartung 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hi All, Up through SUSE 9.3, SaX2 accepted the following configuration for my on-board graphics chip, SiS 630, and monitor, an NEC MultiSync 77F: Monitor display size: 325 x 244 mm, aspect ration 4:3 horizontal rate: 28 to 70 Khz vertical rate: 54 to 120 Hz colors: 8-bit, 16-bit (24-bit to 1280 x 1024; 32 bit to 1152 x 900) --> 1600 x 1200 at 16-bit color was my preferred and default setting SaX2 under 10.0 rejected every single attempt to replicate this configuration. I ultimately 'transplanted' the relevant settings from my 9.3 xorg.conf into the 10.0 file to get it working. I recall SaX2 under 10.0 also lacked some or several configuration options as compared to previous releases. SaX2 under 10.2 appears to have had many of the features that went 'missing' under 10.0 returned, but it still won't allow my preferred settings to 'take.' When I manually transplant the modelines, etc., into xorg.conf, X seems to just ignore/reject them and they're overwritten to 1280 x 1024 at 24-bit. I'm very unhappy about having lost 25% of my working 'real estate'... it's badly cramping my style. Do I really have to downgrade to 10.0 or is there another solution for this problem? All ideas and suggestions will be gratefully appreciated. TIA & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Yast bad manners

Hi Carlos, I don't know whether this is a feature or not but this happens to me as well using 10.2 and KDE. Saludos, Martin ----- Original Message ---- From: Carlos E.

I fire up Yast, then software management (for instance). As I know it is going to take some time, I minimize it and continue typing elsewhere... and hey! Yast pops up un-minimized, grabbing the focus, and not yet ready, as it is loading catalogs. I minimize it again... and again it un-minimizes automatically. This did not happen with 10.1. Three times at least has Yast the bad manners of not staying put, minimized out of the way :-( Is this a bug? Is it intentional (aka feature)? Can I somehow tell gnome not to allow this pesky behaviour? To be sure, it is not the only app that does this - OO does similarly - but today I'm picking on yast O:-) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFF2Y8KtTMYHG2NR9URAkhvAJ416eJ6/EiML/AT1mRLGBpERChgMACdFF1W g6AB56qUYSF6Z/4DzG8ryZA= =7/xL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't get soaked.

[opensuse] New Computer Menu positioning in Dual Screen
by Neil Marjoram 22 Feb '07

22 Feb '07

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the position (or screen) of the new style computer menu? I have two screens 1 and 2 in config, they are split to give one big desktop and use the Nvidia driver. The first is a 17" Analogue, the second is a 19" digital, obviously I mainly use the 19", due to the detection of the screens in the hardware, and required position on my desk I cannot swap the screens in the X config. I have created new panels on the 19" screen and added in various menus including the new "Computer" Menu, however when I click on this menu it appears on the first screen on the side nearest the second. I would really like this to appear on the second screen where the actual menu is. Can anyone help?

[opensuse] Missing conduits for pilot applet
by Simon Roberts 22 Feb '07

22 Feb '07

Hi all, I'm having trouble syncing my palm pilot with Evolution. I managed to build the latest versions of pilot applet and the daemon and it now seems to work up to a point. The point at which it fails is that the conduit list doesn't include the ability to sync the calendar or address book! Bizzare but true, I can back up just about everything on the palm, but the two things that I really wanted to get linked with evolution don't show up on the list. Any suggestions?
