[opensuse] openSUSE 11 on T42p
OK, got the installation to work. I've got three odd issues: 1. ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't kill X any more. 2. When gdm starts, my synaptics touchpad works. After I get logged in and the gnome session manager is running, the touchpad quits working and I can only use the trackpoint device. If I remove the trackpoint device from the X configuration with sax2, it gets added back in. If I manually edit the xorg.conf file and remove it, X refuses to start at all. 3. During bootup, the system tries to access a nonexistent floppy drive. I have to wait for it to error out (a few seconds is all). Minor annoyance. And a fourth question: The default installation sets the local security up so there's no local ttys. Why is this, and why when I go in to the local security editor can I not change the custom settings? I reset the system to a "networked workstation" setting and that got the ttys back, but why is this done during the installation without telling the user? Thanks - so far, in general, I like what I see. Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you hit it once it should beep, hit it again with in two seconds to really kill it. This is to help prevent accidental zapping by non-I-Know-X-Zapping users (Ctrl-Bksp is common when writing word processing documents and the accidental

What happens when you run gsynaptics after log in?

Good to know, thanks.

Bug-buddy ends up running saying it's crashed. I do have the saved bug report now if it would help for me to open a bug.

Brilliant. Is there a simple way to edit some config file on a 10.3 installation to get the same effect? Michael -- Michael Fischer michael@visv.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
