I got the video working on my desktop install with the GeForce3 Ti200 card by downloading the GLX and kernel files from NVidia's website. When I used rpm on the kernel file it wall went without an error, but when I ran rpm on the GLX file I got 2 notices that files in that release were in conflict with the existing files. But my graphics now come up in KDE at 1024x768 like I wanted. However now my mouse just scoots around the outside border of my screen and I have to use the keyboard to shut it down. I have reconfigured my mouse thru Yast and still have the problem. The files I downloaded were: NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2880.suse73.i386.rpm NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2880.suse73.i386.rpm The conflicted files referred to NVIDIA_GLX-0.8 if I remember right, forgot to write down the exact notice. Did the video driver mess up my mouse? And the other problem is if I select to activate 3D features it tells me something about it being a generic driver. TIA Greg Hicks

i would guess your mouse if ps2 and set to serial. (check this by looking at /etc/X11/XF86Config or running sax) try also disabling gpm, as this caused a problem on my system.

Hi all: In my upgrade fron Windows to Linux (SuSE 7.3 Pro) I need a software to sustitute my previously used Cumulus, an image/picture database-indexing tool. Is there something similar in Linux? TIA. Iñigo.
I'm not sure what you want in a photo program..but you can check out these.. Pixie Plus (a native KDE program) GQview (a GTK/Gnome program, yet it will run fine w/ KDE) *I use this* GPhoto (This works for taking photos off digital camera's as well) You can also go to http://freshmeat.net and check out tons of photo programs. You can also manipulate photos with GIMP. * Iñigo (BerriTaldeak@terra.es) [020421 22:22]: ::Hi all: :: ::In my upgrade fron Windows to Linux (SuSE 7.3 Pro) I need a software to ::sustitute my previously used Cumulus, an image/picture database-indexing ::tool. ::Is there something similar in Linux? -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- "I've never been quarantined.

I use Compu Pic from Photdex at www.photodex.com . They have a free version, or you can purchase. Harry G On Monday April 22 2002 01:20 am, Iñigo wrote:

I'd give the free version a try before you spend money on it. I found it about as stable as a one legged camel. I gave up with it and went back to PixiePlus, which is still alpha quality, so that's saying something. -- 8:49am up 30 min, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.14, 0.21
maybe you should also check on www.slooze.com I made the same switch you did and was looking for something like fotostation. Slooze needs apache webserver and mysql so you have the images in a database. Though Slooze isn't the ultimate replacement ( in my view it should be integrated somehow with pixieplus, but I don't know that much on programming) it gives one the opptertunity to have someone surf through the image database from the internet in your computer which might be handy for customers. piet Iñigo wrote:

We had a Linux installfest this past Saturday, and one lady had a Logitech optical mouse. For some reason the 7.3 installer misrecognized it, and the mouse pointer was stuck at the bottom. We tried defining it as a PS2 mouse with no luck. To save time, we simply put another mouse on the system. However, another person was successful with (I think a Microsoft) an optical mouse. Usually, we have better luck with SuSE than with Red Hat, but this time SuSE faired poorly. -- Jerry Feldman Portfolio Partner Engineering 508-467-4315 http://www.testdrive.compaq.com/linux/ Compaq Computer Corp. 200 Forest Street MRO1-3/F1 Marlboro, Ma. 01752

In case you ever run across it again, here are my XF86Config settings for a Logitech optical mouse: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse2" Driver "mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Name" "AutoDetected" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Vendor" "AutoDetected" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "5" EndSection It is configured as Mouse2 because it is external on my laptop and the trackpoint+pad are Mouse1. Also works with a MS un-Intellimouse ;) Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ I can C for miles and miles Got spam? Get SPASTIC http://spastic.sourceforge.net
Same problem I had with my Logitech wireless optical. It ran fine until I put in the "correct" video drivers for my NVidia card (GeForce3 Ti200) and then the mouse hangs out around the border of my KDE desktop. If anyone fixes this please let me know!!
