Howdy folks. I just made the move from mandrake to suse. I'm using the evaluation version of 7.0 and I have quite a few questions. 1. LILO. This is a dualboot machine on a 17 gig HD. My linux partitions are all beyond the 1024 cylinder. I downloaded the update to LILO from the suse updates site and ran it. I configured LILO with /etc/lilo.conf (adding the new kernel I just compiled) and then ran LILO as root. Warning: device 0x0306 exceeds 1024 cylinder limit. Use of the 'lba32' option may help on newer (EDD BIOS) systems. Fatal: geo_comp_addr: Cylinder number is too big (1082 > 1023) I tried lilo -L root@ilinisa:/home/abe > lilo -L Added abe * Added linux Added suse Added windows root@ilinisa:/home/abe > looks good right? No lilo at reboot. Have to boot from a floppy. Anybody got an idea? I'm using lilo.21.6-9.i386.rpm 2. DAMN! Suse is fast! Mandrake is i586 compiled and it is damn slow in comparison. Very pleasant surprise. 3. Two X server questions. I've got a Voodoo5 in one machine and an Asus V7700 in another. The V5 is in the machine I installed suse in first. Anybody have X 4.02 or 4.01 working with hardware acceleration? Gotta have quake3 in linux ;-) I've got x 4.01 (downloaded from the suse updates site) working for 2d but, well here's the important log excerpt: (EE) TDFX(0): TDFXDRIScreenInit failed (libdri.a too old) huh? The X4.01 files are dated september 14, 2000. Any ideas? Everything else loads just fine. In regards to the V7700 GeForce2 card. Anybody have that going and how does it work? 4. Uhhh, gnome just plain doesn't work. Everything sigfaults. gedit isn't installed, gmc isn't installed. suse doesn't like gnome? I use windowmaker but I like some of the gnome apps. 5. I downloaded the kde 2.01 updates and it works great except I can't run konqueror in any windowmanager except kde2. Probably a path thing huh? 6. I have a microsoft intellimouse optical USB. It worked until the reboot during setup. I tried enabling legacy USB support in my BIOS (asus a7v board) the usb ports are detected then but the mouse is still a no go. I'm using it on the ps/2 port for now but I really want to get it back on USB. higher sample rate = better accuracy in CS/Q3/UT. Thanks for your help everybody! I've really enjoyed suse so far and am looking forward to learning more. Abe
