I can't help with driver compiling as I'm far from being a kernel hacker. But given the PCI device ID (3d17) it's easy to see if a driver supports the device as the driver contains a list of IDs it feels responsible for.

[opensuse] Thunderbird does not launch Firefox
by Wendell Nichols 17 May '08

17 May '08

There is quite a bit of consternation about amongst some people with regard to Thunderbird not being able to launch firefox from http links in email. See: http://readlist.com/lists/suse.com/suse-linux-e/27/139529.html (if your thunderbird will do that :) This cropped up for people who had thunderbird 1.5.x and had explicitly enabled > pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox"); > pref(”network.protocol-handler.app.https”, “/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox”); > pref(”network.protocol-handler.app.ftp”, “/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox”); so that thunderbird 1.5 would launch firefox. When thunderbird got upgraded to 2.0.0.x this stopped working. I was frustrated by this but by experimenting I found that if I created a new "blank" profile the links started to work. I did difs between my new and old prefs.js files and incremntally eliminated the differences. The result is that I removed all the network.protocol-handler.app entries from my original prefs.js file and viola! http links work again. So the cure for 1.5 is a sickness for 2.0 :( Spread the word.... wcn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Software suggestions?
by James Hatridge 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hi all! I do alot of eBay selling. I put scans on a photo host by gFTP. My problem is after about a year of selling I have alot of old scans on my photo host with odd names, for example 01-DDR-11.jpg, just looking at the name I can't tell if it a sold item or not. I need software that I can connect to my host, see thumbnails of the scans, and delete old un-needed scans. Any suggestions?

[opensuse] SATA PCI card
by Mike McMullin 17 May '08

17 May '08

I went to my hardware pusher and asked about buying an SATA PCI card, and was informed that he only has the new version of PCI cards, and maybe I'd just like an new mother board with sata already on it. What I'd prefer is a PCI card that has the SATA on it, and works out of the box under linux without costing me more than the money/time that getting that new mobo would. Comments and recommendations will be greatly appreciated. BTW, the why he wants a SATA card is that I'm looking at getting a SATA drive to hold files created by myth-tv. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Replacing o2cb with heartbeat2+pacemaker?
by Ciro Iriarte 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hi, I've read somewhere that probably is a good idea to let heartbeat/pacemaker manage the cluster membership for OCFS2 instead of using o2cb, has anybody done it?, is that a good decision at last?

[opensuse] OpenSUSE 11 vs Fedora 9
by Roger Oberholtzer 17 May '08

17 May '08

I installed OpenSUSE 11 from a DVD ISO image into VBox: 25 minutes with tons of packages I installed Fedora 9 from a DVD ISO image into VBox: > 2 hours with a similar tons of packages Both on the same machine, so I think the hardware was the same. Nice OpenSUSE was so fast. Odd that Fedora was so slow. Fedora spent most all the time installing RPMS from the DVD ISO image. Perhaps Fedora just dislikes VirtualBox? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11 on T42p
by Jim Henderson 17 May '08

17 May '08

OK, got the installation to work. I've got three odd issues: 1. ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't kill X any more. 2. When gdm starts, my synaptics touchpad works. After I get logged in and the gnome session manager is running, the touchpad quits working and I can only use the trackpoint device. If I remove the trackpoint device from the X configuration with sax2, it gets added back in. If I manually edit the xorg.conf file and remove it, X refuses to start at all. 3. During bootup, the system tries to access a nonexistent floppy drive. I have to wait for it to error out (a few seconds is all). Minor annoyance. And a fourth question: The default installation sets the local security up so there's no local ttys. Why is this, and why when I go in to the local security editor can I not change the custom settings? I reset the system to a "networked workstation" setting and that got the ttys back, but why is this done during the installation without telling the user? Thanks - so far, in general, I like what I see. Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
