I am a little new to linux. I have installed redhat a few times without problems. Got through the install process without too much problems with suse and even have x windows working. I would like to use the copy of Accelerated X version 4.0 that I have though. I keep running into this problem though. I mount the cdrom and go to the correct directory , but when I try to type ./Install like I have done on previous installs I get the mesaage bash:permission denied. I tried to do the install on another computer with redhat running and everything worked fine. Does this make sense to anyone?
Due to popular demand, we mount CD-ROMs with the "user" option, which allows a normal user to mount a CD. But this implies (for security reasons) "noexec", so you cannot execute binaries directly from the CD. Solution: Modify your /etc/fstab thus: /dev/hda /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 and remount the CD or use the long form of the mount command. This means, do not mount the CD-ROM using the command mount /cdrom but use mount /dev/<device> -tiso9660 -oro /cdrom instead.
Does anyone use AccelX 4.0 with Suse 5.1?
The last time I checked AccelX it was not possible to use a resolution of 1280x960 but I had to use 1280x1024 instead. This is incorrect, because the width:heigth ratio should be 4:3 (as it is in 800x600, 1024x768 and so on). Because of this limitation (that XFree86 does not have), AccelX is unusable for me, because I want a circle to be a circle and not an ellipse.
Thanks Alot.
