    Suse 9.0 and the mouse

    Actually I eventually sucked those down and it did fix the problem. It took me a while to do that because someone somewhere told me that the nvidia drivers off of their site were just bad news. Apparently that person just must have had a bad trip or something cause I've pulled them down a couple times now and they've worked everytime. The only problem I'm having now is when I plug in my external usb mouse. It'll autodetect it like it's supposed to, pop up, run through the install, then it'll work fine. But if for some reason I unplug it, or boot up without it attached suddenly I have no mouse, and suse's installation isn't exactly setup to get around easily with keyboard shortcuts (unless I happen to have a term window open). Don't suppose anyone knows how I can get this system to keep not only the touchpad mouse but the usb mouse and just use whichever one is plugged in? Other than that little issue, I'm really happy with this distribution. The keyboard bounce fix doesn't seem to work ALL the time, and every now and then when typing it doubles up my keys (rather annoying, but it might get fixed one day). Aric

    REMOTE DISPLAY OF X

    Well..yes Sorry, I always associate Cygwin with the xserver when it's the entire package. Sorry for the confusion.

    REMOTE DISPLAY OF X

    What are you runnin on your remote desktop to access your server, Exceed or another xserver? I have Exceed 7 and a free xserver called Cygwin. My laptop has an nvidia card in it capable of going 1600 X1400, which I'm positive neither of my servers at home can run. I dont' have any problems kicking up my servers desktops though and to my knowledge it displays at whatever resolution I'm currently running. So I'm not sure the spec's of your servers xserver really matters when running your desktop remotely, only the specs of the xserver running on your remote machine (I could be wrong about this, so someone pipe up and tell me if I am not sure if that answers any questions or maybe I just misunderstood what you were asking.

    Suse 9.0 and the mouse

    I have a Satallite 5105-s607 and put Suse 9 professional on it. An excellent distribution that amazingly everything seems to work. however I'm having a serious problem. Whenever xwindows resets my mouse vanishes. I know the bloody thing is still there cause if I right click somewhere a menu pop's up. Plus if I just do the blind drag down and left I can click and open the menu. This seems to happen everytime xwindows has to restart itself, like when I logout of my laptop to get it back to a login prompt, or even worse, if I open a terminal and open one of my other linux server or sparcstation's desktops using X :1 -query <host>. As soon as the new xwindow session pops up with the remote desktop the mouse is gone, and it STAYS gone. So while I can usually feel around, logout, and kill the xsession, I still have to completely reboot the laptop to get the mouse back. I havn't tried taking it to run level 3 and then back to 5 to see if that works, but I have done the old three finger salute (ctrl alt bksp) to force xwindows to restart. Anyone who has any ideas I'm forever in your debt. While I love mandrake 9.2 (it has it's own issues like acpi not working), Suse 9 has some really great things that make it a very good choice (for the moment). Thanks in advance Aric
