Bug report / SuSE 9.3
by Dieter Jurzitza 02 May '05

02 May '05

Dear listmembers, using a "logitech optical mouse" at the PS/2 port of my computer (Tyan Tiger 2460 SMP), the mouse wheel does not work any more with SuSE 9.3 (but *did* perfectly with the identical mouse at the same computer using SuSE 9.2 + xorg 6.8.2). (I only upgraded the software and did not change any hardware!). Reconfiguration using sax2 -r doesn't help. The mouse wheel is disfunctional within sax2; I do not know whether this is a X issue or a sax2 issue. Moving this mouse to the USB-connector (it is usually connected to the PS/2 port via an adapter) the wheel is functional. summarizing: mouse (PS2)+SuSE9.3 -> no mouse wheel mouse (PS2)+SuSE9.2+xorg 6.8.2 -> mouse wheel functional mouse (USB+SuSE9.3) -> mouse wheel functional however, I need the mouse to run on the PS2/port because I need both USB-ports for other purposes. Are there any options to fix this? Modifying the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf has no impact. Many thanks for any advice, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <��__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) -----------------------------------------------------------

Re: [suse-xfree86] video out with suse 9.3
by walter harms 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

hi list, attached is my xorg.conf this one works fine with virtual. removing it (using the same line as in 24 e.g. causes the external output to the beamer to use higher not useable resolution) removing 1280x1024 from the list works also (off cause) but the beamer is actualy supporting this resolution but i did not get X11 to use a suitable frequence. The most simply way imho is to add an option to configure the external-out to some value, effectivly using it like a second card. (multihead with clone if you like). SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "1280x1024" "800x600" "768x576" "640x480" Virtual 1024 768 EndSubSection

video out with suse 9.3
by walter harms 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

hi list, I have installed the new SuSE 9.3 on a dell latitude 840c. I can use the external beamer upto a resolution of 1024x768. The display can more but the external video gets initialised with the max resolution of the display, causing havoc. When i have any higher resolution that 1024x768 in the list it does not work. strangely when i switch size there is no change on the beamer display. i guess they use the virtual display instead of the real one. is this a configuration option ? any hints ? re, walter

I looked at that and it was set to "no". I've enabled that but unfortunately there is no change. It doesn't matter if I use VNC, VNC java client, or FreeNX. All of them do not work. I still get a black screen with an X cursor. So this tells me it's an issue with kdm or xorg. i wonder what would be stopping X or kdm from displaying remotely..... verified virus free by Usermail.com

VNC issues on suse 9.2
by Jake Sallee 15 Apr '05

15 Apr '05

I'm having a problem running VNC on SuSE 9.2 with xorg 6.8.2 and KDE 3.4. I've tried enabling VNC through Yast and sax2. VNC is running, and I can connect to the server, but kdm login screen never shows up. I get the X cursor but all that is ever displayed is the grey background before kdm. Eventually the session will disconnect. After successful authentication over the java web gui, vnc does the same thing, grey screen, no kdm. I've tried recompiling xorg 6.8.2 from source but this hasn't cleared up the problem. I'm at a loss here as this is a fresh install. Any ideas? Thank you. Jake verified virus free by Usermail.com

Am I wrong here, then? > The error message says that the kernel-module fglrx couldn't be loaded. Can you load it manually with modprobe ? Which version of the fglrx driver are you running ? If you did update fglrx to a newer version than shipped with SuSE-9.2 you will have to recompile the kernel module coming as part of that driver from sources everytime you update the kernel, because SuSE can ship only the precompiled kernel module matching to the shipped version of the driver in the SuSE release.

Mother board is MSI K8N Neo4 with Nvidia nforce 4 chipset. I'm presently only using 32-bit. I thought I'd get that working before trying 64-bit, and haven't got that far. Suse 9.2, X11 6.8.2, also tried 6.8.1-15.5, now on 6.8.1-15.1. fglrx 8.12.10, before that 8.10.19, all without any apparent change in symptoms. I'm confused about agp and agpgart. I've tried both internal and external, but am not sure about which external I should try. As it's Nvidia chipset, should it be that? I can't see any mention of nforce 4, only nforce 2. Can anyone help, please? I'm a newbie here. Allan

Howto build the km_drm-6.8.2-0.1.i586.rpm @ kernel 2.6.11 / SuSE 9.2

vncviewer cannot connect to server after the sever reset
by zhen zhang 10 Apr '05

10 Apr '05

Hello guys, I had an IBM machine running SuSe 8.1 and tried to connect to a vnc server through the command: vncviewer xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. It can work at the first time. But as soon as the server reset and I ran the commmand again, nothing happens. the viewer cannot connect anymore. the message I always got is like: "authentication suceessfully. the server closed connection" Got any idea why this happens and how to fix it? Thanks in advance. Eric
