[opensuse] Dualhead Matrox
Hi all, I am installing opensuse on my new system. It uses Matrox graphic card which supports three monitors to be connected. I also have a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. Is there anyone who had experienced these with opensuse, and do they work finr with opensusye?

I dont know about the Parhelia card, but i have been running my dualheaded cards for years now. And the work very well.. Took me a bit of fiddling with the xorg config to get it right, but i think it is autoinstalled now. (I started using them around 9.2) Matrox has always been easy to use under Linux. No matter the flavor of dist. Try running a live CD first to see if it autodetects. Or just do a lspci to see that its detected as expectad. But as said; i think Yast and Sax will find it as it is. -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j@rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
Thanks Rickard. It was a great tip. First I will try live CD. What about wireless keyboard and mouse (not bluetooth)? Have you used them with linux too? D. Rikard Johnels wrote:

Those shouldnt be any problem at all. The computer sees them as regular USB or ps/2 (depending on how they are plugged in) I have run my X's logitech wireless kb/mouse setup with a ps/2 "dongle" on a live CD setup (She ran Win XP) and it worked without hitch at all. -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j@rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
Thanks again. And my last questions. Can I use Live CD by downloading opensuse's install DVD from its web site or it is another thing? Also, I have a DVD burner which I use to burn ISO and IMG files using DVDDecrypter and sometimes VOB files using Nero. Is there any similar program in Linux which will allow me to use my DVD writer as before? D. Rikard Johnels wrote:

http://download.opensuse.org has a link for the live DVD. As for cd/dvd burning software there are several options. K3b or xcdroast for instance. There are many threads on this list regarding that specific issue. I suggest you do a "market search" through the list and google to see what you want. Good luck! -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j@rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
