MS Intellimouse and Suse 9 pro - side buttons
by Burkhard Moddemann 29 Feb '04

29 Feb '04

Hello, I have a problem. My mouse and printer are connected to the usb hub of my MS Natural Keyboard Pro that itself is connected via usb to the computer. Everything works, but the side buttons of my MS Intellimouse Optical 1.1A do not work as i wish (e.g. browse forward or backward in browser history). With Knoppix 3.3 and some modification to XF86Config they do their job. I got hints from: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&frame=right&th=… Is there anyone who can help me.

It was in xextra in previous versions. Just open up Yast2 and search for Xvfb. It seems that it is in its own package now, at least on my box. I guess that it may be missing from SLES, I'm not familiar with this distribution.

Xvfb and SLES 8
by Richard Mixon (qwest) 28 Feb '04

28 Feb '04

Hello, We are moving from a Sun SPARC Solaris environment to SuSE SLES 8 for AMD64 on Opteron processors. On Solaris we were able to use the "-Djava.ast.headless=true" to eliminate the need for an X server so our Tomcat servlet engine could render graphics for display in the web browser (actually we use Apache FOP/BATIK to render SVG as PDF documents). On SLES for AMD64, the Java version is the IBMJava2 1.4.1 SDK. It does not recognize the "-Djava.awt.headless=true" option. There have been a number of workarounds suggested. The PJA toolkit does not seem to work for a number of reasons. The other suggestion was to use the Xvfb (X virtual frame buffer). I can find a man page for Xvfb in our SLES 8 install, but no actual module. Can someone provide instructions for enabling or accessing Xvfb? Obviously I am not an X guru - I use KDE and that's about it. I have waited for over two days for SuSE support to provide help - I'm starting to wonder why I paid the big bucks for SLES at this point. Thank you in advance - Richard Mixon

Problem with xhost
by Lugg William H Civ OO-ALC /MASFE 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

I was attempting to run a command spadmin which is used to set up printers and fonts in OpenOffice. When I run it a super user, it returns the error: XLib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server XLib: No protocol specified /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/spadmin.bin x11 error: Can't open display: :0 Set DISPLAY environment variable, use -display option Or check permissions of your X-Server (See "man X" resp. "man xhost" for details) I read the man pages, and toyed with the -display :0 option on spadmin, but got the same error. I then tried running "xhost +local" and "xhost +" (no network connection, no dialup access) and received the same two XLib error lines listed above. So, it looks like I've got a problem with my X Server configuration, but I can't seem to find anything about how to fix it. Also, I didn't glean from the man pages how to check the permissions of the X-Server as suggested in the error message. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Laptop: Docking, undocking and external monitors
by Golden, James 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

Hi List, I have a question about laptops. Anyone know of a good methodology, whether using different server layouts or whatever, to make this situation work. I have a laptop (WUXGA). When I am undocked I want 1920x1200 resolution. When I go to work I dock my workstation with a 21" Monitor, so I would like it to go to 1600x1200 resolution. I have been very sucsessful at getting this to work and wondered if anyone has. I have configure both monitors and modes under XF86Config, but can't seem to get it to work. Suggestions? Thanks.

dual head no longer works after upgrade to SuSE 9.0
by Geoffrey 22 Feb '04

22 Feb '04

I had a nice dual head set up running under SuSE 8.2, I upgraded to SuSE 9.0, and using the same config file, I no longer have my dual head, but mirror images on the two monitors. I see: (WW) RADEON(1): Only one monitor detected, Second screen will NOT be created Further I was a bit surprised to see this in the log file as well: This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any way. Bugs may be reported to XFree86(a)XFree86.Org and patches submitted to fixes(a)XFree86.Org. Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions, please check the latest version in the XFree86 CVS repository (http://www.XFree86.Org/cvs) SuSE 9.0 Pro is running a pre-release version of X???? Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- Until later, Geoffrey Registered Linux User #108567 Building secure systems inspite of Microsoft

19 Feb '04

I have SuSE 9.0 Pro and a ATI 9600SE AGP card I have tried the drivers from ATI and SuSE and Have not been able to get them to work. I have 2D by using the vesa framebuffer graphics driver that is available in SuSE. They work for 2D But cannot get 3D to work. No matter what driver I try. Does anyone have this card working with SuSE and Xfree86 4.30? If so what drivers did you use and how did you install them? Mel

Nvidia Drivers
by Matthew A Tobiasz 14 Feb '04

14 Feb '04

I installed the "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run" driver for my 5600 FX card on a fresh install (with all the YAST online updates) of SuSE 9.0. Now when I boot, when the kdm starts I get a dead screen. What I do next is restart the X-server via CONTROL-ALT-DEL, and then I get the Nvidia logo and the login screen. When I exit my window manager session, same thing. Dead screen, restart the X-server, I'm good to go. Any ideas on what's causing this ? --Matthew -------------------------------------------------------

XVisualInfo problem
by Indra Geys 10 Feb '04

10 Feb '04

Hello, I am having problems with X window rendering and GLXFBConfig. If I try the choose a GLXFBConfig with attribute GLX_ALPHA_SIZE,8, then I get an error. I checked this and it seems that I don't have an XVisualInfo which has a alpha color buffer different from 0, although xdpyinfo gives that I have 12 visuals. I have a quadro FX 500 graphical board, and I tried already to install the latest four nvidia drivers for it. Nothing helps. I am just changed from redhat 9.0 with nvidia driver 1.0-4363, and there I had no problems. Does someone know how I can get the appropriate visual, and can solve the problem? Thanks already, Indra Geys
