Hi Klaus,

Did you do Knoppix?
If so - BRILLIANT - if not brilliant anyway . . .

I have a very nice 17" AOC LCD LM-700 monitor
and I am using the LCD settings (from the manual) for
vertical and horizontal rates and have put in
all the settings from KDE peripherals

- the screen flickers on the load up
and this noticeable flickering becomes minute
but noticeable on the max 1280 x 1040
(I had to use the KNOPPIX xvrefresh=60 to boot from CD)
I now have the installation on the HD
and have got the the res up . . .

what is the best solution to this flickering
- lower res?
- lower mz from 75mz?

Thanks for everyones advice
and efforts :-)

No Linux drivers but this is from the manufacturers .INF file

Delivering software for other platforms

Hello all, Is it possible to deliver software for installation in other platforms through Knoppix? To be precise, deliver software from GNU Win <http://gnuwin.epfl.ch/> to be installed on M$ windows? Are there any file system issues one should think of? Best Wishes, Ramanan

some problems

hi everybody i just kicked my SuSE 8.2 and gave knoppix (3.2) a try. well, actually for the second time. installation wasn't a big deal. since i had my home-dirs and other data on separate partitions i could start working right away. that was great. but there are some question i still have. e.g.: what is the equivalent to insserv? i think it should be update-rc.d, but i don't have a manpage for it. could someone give me the correct command-line for starting lets say spamassassin in runlevels 2,3 and 5? also (as earlier with knoppix 3.1) i haven't been able yet to use my tv-card hauppauge WinTV PCI with BT 848. it seems to be recognized, but does not work with either motv or xawtv. what is going wrong there? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ xawtv This is xawtv-3.88, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.20-xfs) Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-ledfixed-medium-r-*--39-*-*-*-c-*-*-*" to type FontStruct Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mic@kabuff:~$ motv This is motv-3.72, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.20-xfs) Warning: Actions not found: Remote Warning: Actions not found: Remote ERROR: plugin magic mismatch [xawtv=20020118,libng/plugins/flt-gamma.c=537067817] ERROR: plugin magic mismatch [xawtv=20020118,libng/contrib-plugins/linear-blend.c=537067817] ERROR: plugin magic mismatch [xawtv=20020118,libng/contrib-plugins/flt-smooth.c=537067817] ERROR: plugin magic mismatch [xawtv=20020118,libng/contrib-plugins/cubic.c=537067817] ERROR: plugin magic mismatch [xawtv=20020118,libng/plugins/drv1-v4l.c=537067817] ERROR: plugin magic mismatch [xawtv=20020118,libng/plugins/write-qt.c=537067817] ERROR: plugin magic mismatch [xawtv=20020118,libng/plugins/drv0-v4l2-old.c=537067817] ERROR: plugin magic mismatch [xawtv=20020118,libng/plugins/flt-disor.c=537067817] ERROR: plugin magic mismatch [xawtv=20020118,libng/contrib-plugins/linedoubler.c=537067817] dlopen: /usr/lib/xawtv/drv0-v4l2.so: undefined symbol: ng_tofday_to_timestamp dlopen: /usr/lib/xawtv/read-avi.so: undefined symbol: ng_malloc_audio_buf dlopen: /usr/lib/xawtv/read-dv.so: undefined symbol: ng_malloc_audio_buf dlopen: /usr/lib/xawtv/read-qt.so: undefined symbol: ng_malloc_audio_buf dlopen: /usr/lib/xawtv/snd-oss.so: undefined symbol: ng_malloc_audio_buf ERROR: plugin magic mismatch [xawtv=20020118,libng/contrib-plugins/bilinear.c=537067817] ERROR: plugin magic mismatch [xawtv=20020118,libng/plugins/write-avi.c=537067817] ERROR: plugin magic mismatch [xawtv=20020118,libng/plugins/flt-invert.c=537067817] ERROR: plugin magic mismatch [xawtv=20020118,libng/plugins/conv-mjpeg.c=537067817] no video grabber device available ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ one other thing is: with suse i used ./configure, make and checkinstall for compiling and installing my progs. is there a equivalent to checkinstall? or how do i make sure, that self-compiled progs are taken into the package-database? normally i use fluxbox, but when using kde or kde-apps under fluxbox like kate or kwrite i have strange fonts for displaying text. and whatever i configure in the appearance-tab of the controlcenter it shows no effect for unpriviled users. no problem with root though... any hints? cheers Michael -- Linux - because life is too short for reboots Michael Kaiser http://www.kaiser-detmold.de
