[opensuse] New ATI driver, KDE 4 desktop effects
by Jason Bailey, Sun Advocate Webmaster 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

Okay, so I downloaded and installed AMD's new ATI driver, 9.1 for Linux (x86_64). My ATI Radeon X600 still doesn't provide me with desktop effects on KDE 4.1. I'm curious if any of you have tried this new driver and if it has worked for you. When I try to enable the settings, KDE immediately tells me it cannot apply them. Any of you have better luck with the 9.1 driver? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Seems more stable than suse one, but I didn't have time to check really. also several apps are now kde4 mostly and don't backport to kde3. The real mess is kde team didn't discuss changes with the users before doing them. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] off-list messages
by Constantinos Maltezos 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

I sent a couple of replies to - I thought - the mailing list, but not seeing them show up, I went to look in my sent folder and it appears that when I hit the "r" key on my keyboard, it sent them to individuals rather than the list. If anyone has received an off-list reply from me, I apologize for that. I have no idea what happened there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Call for Contribution: RPMLint Site
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

Hi Folks, I’m an new Packager in OpenSUSE BuildService, and i like this work. But if i would like to package for Factory, RPMLINT gives me any Errors or warnings. But these things to fix, are very difficult. Our Wiki Side for RPMLINT doesn’t contain many Error or Warningcodes. From my side, i can say, that it's not good to make rpmlint as standard in OBS, and we have not enough dokumentation :-( But yesterday i’ve found an Side, with other Errorcodes from RPMLINT. Today i imported these Codes to our Wikiside http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/RpmLint. I think it is not possible to list all codes on the Side. But i wish, that the side includes more Codes in the future. No i would like to make an Call for contribution. If every Packager insert the codes, that he knows, we have an good library soon. And on this Moment i would like to make an request about helping- Thank you all for the hard Work. And please have an eye on Documentations :-) -- Sincereley yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Marketing Team (Weekly News) openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] questions related to KDE4 in opensuse 11.1
by Istvan Gabor 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

Hello suse users: I started experiencing with KDE4 in opensuse 11.1. I am not very amazed, to say the least. Right now I would like to know how to do some basic things (at least basic in KDE3) in kde4: 1. How can I hide the panel? How can I add hide buttons to the panel? 2. How can I place/mount removable devices, as USB flashdisk, floppy etc onto the desktop as before? 3. I do not like the 'kickoff' start menu so I always switch to the older mode. How can I add the recently used option there? Why can not I add application icons to the desktop and panel from this menu? 4. How can I set the font size of the digital clock in the panel? The fonts of the date are just too small. In KDE3 it was easy to set the size both of the time and of the date, independently. 5. How can I set the panel style (background, transparency, applets handlers visible etc.)? In KDE3 almost everything can be adjusted. 6. I dont like the blue start menu icon with le left arrow, how can I change it to the conventional suse start menu icon? For now it seem to me that KDE4 is more like gnome than classical (very nice, polished and useable) KDE3.

[opensuse] Enable/Disable XGL from the command-line?
by Jim Henderson 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

I've got a program that I'd like to run outside of xgl. Prior to openSUSE 11.0, you could run gnome-xgl-switch to disable xgl effects, but in 11.0 that command was removed. The readme says to use "xgl-switch", but that is used to change the default X server startup, and that's not what I want to do. What I want is the same effect as unchecking the "enable desktop effects box" in simple-ccsm. I want to write a startup script for the program that disables xgl and uses xrandr to change the screen resolution) before launching the program and resets both when the program terminates. I am currently running openSUSE 11.0 - giving 11.1 a few months before I upgrade. Thanks, Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
