[opensuse] how to extract and utilize kms settings?
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

my son just got me a 27" qnix led flat panel, 600 x 340 mm, 2560 x 1440 res. as usual, doze sees the res and does the res. but i like suse:) I have tried fresh dvd, livecd and netinstall of 11.4,12.1,12.2.12.3 in kde3, kde4,xfce, and one time i even tried gnome. The "only" setup that allows my nvidia gt240 card to feed 2560x1440 to the screen is the 12.1 -kde3 livecd, with * only non accellerated* nouveau drivers. ALL other suses default to 1600x1200 once nomodeset is added in grub, or they just bring up a blank screen. There is *no* modeline or any other setting *anywhere* in /etc/X11, so I am left wondering how I can find the kms settings of the 12.1/kde3 setup and feed them to another system, or even a different video driver, perhaps with kms killed. the basic nouveau driver is *very* slow thanks in advance, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Anyone with an HP T1000 G3 UPS ? (or similar)
by Per Jessen 07 Feb '13

07 Feb '13

I'm trying to get HPs Power Management software to talk to it via the USB connection. The device seems to be recognised etc. - I get two devices: /dev/usb/hiddev0 and /dev/hidraw0/. HPs software is trying to talk to the UPS via a serial device, and then tries something called "SerialHID" - does anyone know what this is? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (1.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Text-to-speech from scanned documents (xsane)
by Gustav Degreef 06 Feb '13

06 Feb '13

Hi folks, I would like to have tts output from PDF files (created by xsane from paper documents)using okular. I already have the tts output set up on Suse 12.1 using Jovie. I can already selecttext in PDF files - using okular's text selection tool andthen get speech output of the selected text. I can also use the select tool to select part of the image, and okular will still pop up a menu with the option to speak out the selection. I get the PDF files from medical journals and other publications. However, when I create my own PDF files using an HP Scanjet 3110 (via xsane), I can't select the text. I can select parts of the image, but I don't get speech output. Is there any way tocreate PDF files that can be read out by okular?

Re: [opensuse] Re: Opensuse 12.2 - console screen blank after YOU

I've also "randomly" experienced this issue on an > IBM Thinkpad x120e. There is no 'solution'! Linus is not Microsoft; the Linux community has neither the deep pockets to pay vendors to make their stuff work with Linux, not the market dominance to make them come begging. Many of us try making Linux work on the hardware we are given rather than get to configure hardware we know will work and work well with Linux. That we 'blame' Linux for this is a reflection on ourselves. As I've pointed out, I'm seeing variations in production runs of what is notionally the same hardware. I'm also seeing that different version of Linux, openSuse, Mageia, Fedora (I'm a RPM sort of guy :-) ) deal with the same hardware - same unit, same chip revisions all the way down, back to the closet of junkware - install and respond to idiosyncrasies of the hardware differently. Occasionally I get told to try PCLinuxOS, its supposed to be more conservative and/or accommodating. http://www.pclinuxos.com/ I've managed to avoid that so far :-) "Random" happenings in this context means one of a few things apply. First up, is, as I say, the hardware is marginal for the version of Linux you're trying. Try a few others. We won't excommunicate you if you use something other than openSuse. You might also find that some of these new-fangled features were not "ill-thought-out changes that serve no purpose". Second up is that you may be configuring them in a non-standard way. Perhaps your hardware or business demands this. But remember, all these PCs were intended to run Microsoft. If you want something that's not like that then go with Apple or get a Solaris SPARC machine or one of the Solaris certified machines from Dell, IBM or HP. You may or many not consider that a "solution". It all depends on your budget and what's available to you. -- `But that's ... completely ridiculous! ...
