Hello, I changed my computer and with this my linux installation from Suse8.1 to Suse9.1. I need for my work, that a programm is running at another maschine. For this, I use a ssh connection an export the display. I can start the program (matlab) and can open the windows. Now my problem. It ist recognized, that I must copy a few lines from one editor to another window. Please dont ask me why it is, it is so. O.K. With my Suse8.1 configuration, it works fine. But with Suse9.1, I got strange reactions. The copy between two consoles is O.K. Under matlab it is not possible to mark the text in one window, my keyboard is not active until the NUM-KEY_led is on and when I paste the text in another window, I got not that, what I want and what i had marked. If anyone have a good idea, what ist could be, please help me. I'm gratfull for any information, link or other Newsgroups. Greetings and thanks Jan

Installing Xorg on Suse 9.1
by Uwe Bonnes 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

Hello, how do I install Xorg on a Suse 9.1 system? Xfree was installed first place. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/Xorg/Xorg-2004-03-… tells: This version is alreaday shipped with SuSE 9.1 However yast doesn't find any package named xorg on the installation medias. So inside yast I can't unselect XFree86 and replace it with Xorg. So following the Readme ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/Xorg/Xorg-X11R6.8.… I should do "* Update your X.Org installation with "rpm -Uhv *.rpm". Is that the way to go?

Hi, I was curious to know when X.org 6.8 will be released (it was supposed to be released on 3rd September), will there be rpms for 9.1 Prof? I am currently using the X.org 6.7 rpms and would like to try out 6.8 due to couple of very annoying issues I am having. thanks, Osho

Updates for 8.2.
by Herman Kerkhofs 15 Sep '04

15 Sep '04

Hi list, Will there be any updates of X.org or SAX2 for SuSE Linux 8.2 ? SuSE Linux 8.2 is still suported by SuSE, and I can get updates for it. But only for kde and security related stuff, not for SAX2 or the X server. The X server for 8.2 is Xfree86, I would like to replace it with X.org. Why can't I get any updates for SAX2 or X.org for this version, altough it is still a suported version of SuSE ? Thanks in advance. Walter Kerkhofs

Unfortunately the announcement of the release preceded the announcement of the fix. I expect that SUSE will have security updates for all maintained products shortly. Egbert.

Losing keyboard and/or mouse
by brianc＠temple.edu 14 Sep '04

14 Sep '04

Forgive my lack of knowledge about X and KDE. I just got finished installing Suse 9.0 and am getting very erradicate keyboard and mouse support. Right after the install, when it asks for root password, the keyboard stopped working. Had to reboot into single user mode to set root password and create users. The keyboard works fine whenever in text mode. However, whenever I go into the GUI environment I get erradicate behaviour. Sometimes the keyboard doesn't work, sometimes the mouse, sometimes both. Sometimes the keyboard works but the key bindings are slightly wrong. Any solutions you can offer would be greatly appreciated. A fresh install isn't out of the question, but I want to track down the problem, as I think a reinstall won't have an affect. It's a Dell G280 System fresh from the factory. USB Dell Keyboard USB Dell Wheel Mouse P4 2.8 512 DDR SDRAM DVD/CD-RW 80 Gig Maxtor SATA (downgraded in bios to ATA to get recognition) Integrated Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet USB Epson Scanner USB HP Laser Printer Thought USB could be the problem so I unplugged the USB scanner and printer, had no effect though. Thanks, Brian

That's bad :-( I know that a lot of things have been changed at the driver to add render support. However this should not slow down application startup time. In fact application startup time has very little to do with 2d graphic performance. > > I searched the net for xcompmgr and transset, compiled them and tried > transparency and drop-shadows. Very nice to look at, but unbearably slow. You may have to turn on accel support for the RENDER extension. I hope the radeon man page gives some hints on how to do this. Also you will have to enable the Composite extension if you haven't done so already. Unfortunately this has not been added to the xorg.conf man page. Egbert.

Move from XFree86 to Xorg 6.7 - breaks kdm,gdm?
by Osho GG 06 Sep '04

06 Sep '04

Hi, I recently moved to X.org 6.7 from XFree86-4.3.99. Under X.org 6.7, I notice that kdm and gdm crashes consistently. Both worked fine with XFree86-4.3.99. I switched to xdm and xdm works fine with X.org 6.7. Once I login, everything works just fine. It is the display manager that seems screwed. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem? cheers, Osho
