[opensuse] Firefox, Wine+Firefox en Javascript speed
by Manne Merak 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Everyone have probably seen the benchmarks about the poor performance of Firefox on Linux compared to Windows. Apparently even Wine+Firefox beats native firefox (actually I tried it and its true). Some say it is because Win FFX is compiled with PGO ( profile-guided optimization) and without in most Linux distros. So, my question - can I request that FFX be compiled with PGO? or is there some technical reason its not done so already?

[opensuse] contrib vs. Packman
by Greg Freemyer 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

I have not yet used contrib: http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib It seems to be gaining packages. (autossh is one I requested via bugzilla be added to OS 11.2 and it got put in Contrib instead.) And I've never really understood what Packman is. It obviously holds a lot more than problematic codecs, etc. Can someone explain how they will work together?

Can anyone tell me how to properly load these wireless drivers at startup on opensuse 10.3? Right now I manually run a script that does this: cd /install/realtek_8185_drivers/rtl8185_linux_26.1027.0823.2007/ieee80211 insmod ieee80211_crypt-rtl.ko insmod ieee80211_crypt_wep-rtl.ko insmod ieee80211_crypt_tkip-rtl.ko insmod ieee80211_crypt_ccmp-rtl.ko insmod ieee80211-rtl.ko cd ../rtl8185 insmod r8180.ko Thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to get youtube sound
by Dave Feustel 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

I now get Youtube video, but I get no sound. Should I plug my earphones into the light green audio jack or one of the other 5 jacks? Do I need to configure anything in Suse 11 to enable audio output? How do I adjust volume? I apologise for my total lack of audio expertise.
