[opensuse] ATI video flashing/strobing?
by Clayton 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

OK, this is really getting to be a problem... I know, I know, never ever ever buy a computer with an ATI videocard.. sigh... Anyway, I have a bookshelf computer I am using as my media center.. stats... Video card: ATI Radeon 1200 Driver: 2.1.8494 (from standard 11.1 repositories) OS: openSUSE 11.1 (just did a full wipe and clean install) with KDE4.3 RC1 Display: Toshiba 32" LCD at 1024x768@60Hz I installed the drivers via the repositories, and then used sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx to "set it up" (including setting the Display to LCD 1024x768@60Hz). Reboot, and things are working using the fglrx driver. These are settings (and setup process) that I used with my 11.0 install that was working OK-ish up until I reinstalled everything to move to 11.1 this morning. Now the problem. On starting up KDE4 on the green KDE4 startup screen, the screen strobes or flashes until the desktop is loaded (only a few seconds). I can live with this, but... on starting up an application like XBMC, the screen strobes and flashes for at least 15 to 20 seconds. Sometimes things settle down and XBMC will work... other times on starting XBMC, it will keep strobing making XBMC unusable. XBMC is just one of many applications that will mess up the display (ie strobing)... example starting the KDE Control Center and picking a random setup icon.. say... Computer Administration > Display (to set the power management for example) will cause the screen to strobe wildly for a few seconds. Any ideas on this one? Am I going to need to roll back to a much earlier driver? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] digikam 0.9.4 can't delete photos on my camera
by Joachim Schrod 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hi folks, On openSUSE 11.1 (32-bit), digikam 0.9.4 (that's the KDE3 version) throws errors when I want to delete photos on my camera. My camera is a Canon IXUS 800, connected in PTP mode via USB. Every second photo I get an error dialog that tells me that this photo cannot be deleted (and it isn't deleted). But that photo can be deleted on the next try -- but again, then every 2nd photo is not deleted. So every "Delete all" action just deletes half of the photos. On openSUSE 10.3, digikam 0.9.3 works fine in the same situation. I can delete all photos on the camera. On both versions, spurious error messages are output that the first image on the camera that is shown in the camera preview dialog is not readable. (It is, I'm able to download it with both versions of digikam.) What could I do to make that work again? If nobody on this list can help me, where would be a good mailing list or other avenue where I could find help to solve that problem?

[opensuse] Linux Tool to check for bad blocks (ext3 & FAT32 File Systems)
by Jay Mistry 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

I have a 500 GB SATA Hard Disk- this has partitions as follows: 12 GB, 18 GB, 20 GB, 35 GB, 55 GB - Linux (all ext3) 200 GB (FAT32) 160 GB (NTFS) This HD is used for installing both Windows XP & openSUSE 11.1 (x86). I suspect one or more partition (200 GB FAT & the 12 GB ext3) may have developed bad blocks (sectors). Is there any program that can be used off a Live CD to check for bad blocks for Linux (ext3) and Windows File Systems (when booting Windows, Checkdisk begins checking the 200 GB partition and then hangs & re-boot is necessary to login to Windows). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] zyxel adsl modem as bridge?
by Per Jessen 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

All, my ageing Zyxel ADSL box is beginning to act a little strangely (lock-ups getting more and more frequent), so I'm thinking of replacing it. I like and I'm comfortable with the Zyxel boxes, so I was looking at the 660ME. It says it can be run in bridge mode, which would mean running pppd+pppoe on my firewall - I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with such a setup? thanks Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Nikon Coolpix 900 questions
by Boris Epstein 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Hi all, I've got this camera which I control via gtkam. All seems well but for some reason camera settings (color, flash, etc.) seem to sometimes never take. For instance, you set it up to take a color picture and it continues spitting out monochrome images. What would this be? A dead BIOS battery (or some equivalent) inside the camera? Any ideas? Also, there does not seem to be a TWAIN driver for this one. Or is there? If not, are there other cameras that have a lens mount on the outside of the lens for which there exists a TWAIN driver? Thing is we are trying to attach this one to a microscope and hence need a mount that would make it possible. Thanks in advance for any help. Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
