I never knew about this requirement, despite extensive fiddling with 
various options in these files to fix a graphics problem on my own 
machine in recent years. Now I know I'd like to have one last try, but 
how do I go about finding out what to put in the monitor resolution 
lines. E.g. on your site above, the example shows a line like this:
DisplaySize  338 270 # 096 DPI  <at>  1280x1024
My own laptop has a resolution of 1280x800. Don't know about the rest.

Cheers,
Peter

ffmpeg sound level

12.3
Hi
I'm trying to get some decent quality screencasts. I've got the video
perfect but the sound level is low. I have the mic input up full on the
mixer but the sound output is still very low.

 ffmpeg -f alsa -i default -f x11grab -r 30 -s 800x600 -i :0.0 -acodec
mp3 -vcodec libx264 -threads 0 output.mkv

The device stuff I have:
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
default
    Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)
sysdefault:CARD=PCH
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC271X Analog
    Default Audio Device
front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC271X Analog
    Front speakers
surround40:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC271X Analog
    4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers
surround41:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC271X Analog
    4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround50:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC271X Analog
    5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers

Sorry Anton,

I meant "dynamic" and the url is here:

Skype, pulse, suses, the h/w or me?

I've tried installing the new Microsoft skype of a few of my machines 
and can't get it to work.

The basic pulse audio seems to work, I can hear myself and make 
recordings and play them but trying to use the new & newly installed
skype-4.2.0.11-suse121.i586 has problems.

I make a test call and hear the announcer.  I speak and hear myself on 
'loopback' or whatever, but the playback is heavily distorted, scratch 
and sounds like one of the old Edson wax cylinders.

I've tried this on a couple of machines but all have
00:05.0 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio and 
yes I've configured with Yast and tried variations.  I can make it not 
work at all, but the best is taking defaults.

I end up with
$ lsmod | grep snd
snd_hda_codec_realtek    71817  1
snd_hda_intel          32352  2

openSUSE manual in German?

Hello,

I was searching for the openSUSE 12.3 manuals in German. I found
this package: opensuse-manuals_de, which can be installed as a RPM
package:

    $ rpm -qi opensuse-manuals_de
    [...]
    The following manuals are included:

    * Start-Up

    * Reference

    * Security Guide (English)

    * Tuning Guide (English)

    * KVM Guide (English)
    Distribution: openSUSE 12.3

The Start-Up manual is completely German, but Reference manual is
a mixture of a German introduction and the rest is English.

Does anybody know, which openSUSE version or online resource
contains a completely translated Reference manual in German?

Greetings,
Björn

google musicplayer

12.3
Hi
I can't get the latest musicplayer:

Problem: nothing provides qtwebkit needed by
google-musicmanager-beta-1.0.65.1341-0.x86_64
 Solution 1: keep obsolete google-musicmanager-beta-1.0.60.7918-0.x86_64
 Solution 2: break google-musicmanager-beta-1.0.65.1341-0.x86_64 by
ignoring some of its dependencies

I've tried the unstable qtwebkit repos but nada.

What do I need?
Thanks,
L x

Help! Need to create xorg.conf or edit 50-device.conf for OLD laptop

Before I begin -

IF you are going to say that xorg.conf isn't needed, then please don't
waste my time by replying.  Xorg's automagic config SUCKS if you have
old hardware or multiple monitors with different settings.  How I MISS
SaX2!  Or about how I should get a newer laptop(I have an A30p & a
T60p sitting beside this so I HAVE Newer machines).

Anyway, I am trying to get an OLD Thinkpad 390X to run MPlayer on
12.3.  This thing is a DINOSAUR, but it plays movies just fine.  And
it has a 6600mAh battery that lasts a long time.

If you go here:

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Neomagic_MagicMedia256AV

You see that an option HAS to be added to make MPlayer work correctly.

"Option    "OverlayMem"    "829440"        # Sufficient memory for a
full-screen DVD"

X runs fine but Mplayer says "It seems there is no Xvideo support for
your video card available.

xvinfo shows "no adapters present".  From what I can tell, the
"neomagic" driver is still in Xorg & should work.

What I have tried:

1.  I have tried to add just this line to 50-devices.conf.  When I do

glTexSubImage low rate

In the subtexrate Mesa-demo I'm only getting a glTexSubImage of 40-50
MB/s, which I've been told is too low.

I'm under openSUSE 12.3.

I'm not totally sure but that sounds like the same card I had (and still 
have packed in a box in an attic somewhere). A PCI version, possibly 
D-Link. I had issues with it for years because the SerialMonkey drivers 
weren't finished, then once they entered the mainline kernel, a system I 
installed it in had kernel panics on boot-up when it was installed. Once 
I got over that hurdle (kernel bugfix IIRC), the internet connection ran 
like treacle, despite the machine being only three metres away from the 
router in the same room. That was under, hmm... openSUSE 11.4 maybe. I 
resorted to installing an old secondhand PCI ethernet card on that 
machine, but briefly plugged the wireless card back in for a short while 
to test and it seemed to be running quite fast, better even than the 
wired connection. Haven't touched it since though, seemed too unreliable.

12.3 Cannot update Calibre to 0.9.13-2.2.1

Hello,

I have upgraded 12.2 to 12.3 yesterday and beside the inglorious "no
shutdown bug" I am noticing also the less critical unable to upgrade
Calibre.

It seems that the available package is corrupted or incomplete (fonts).

This is the error I get running zypper:

Installazione di calibre-0.9.13-2.2.1 fallita:
(con --nodeps --force) Errore: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM fallito:
warning: /etc/bash_completion.d/calibre saved as
/etc/bash_completion.d/calibre.rpmsave
error: unpacking of archive failed on file
/usr/share/calibre/fonts/liberation: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory
error: calibre-0.9.13-2.2.1.x86_64: install failed

Any comments?

Tks,
