OpenSUSE and fglrx
Posted: March 13th, 2007 | Author: saldarji | Filed under: technology | 1 Comment »I updated my OpenSUSE installation (yeah, I use it for work. yeah, I know it is unsupported) to the 2.6.18.8 kernel last week. Unfortunatly, it has created this weird line underneath the cursor here and here. It is really annoying. I tried to take a screenshot of it, but one “feature” of the screenshot in OpenSUSE is that it hides the cursor.
I believe it has something to do with fglrx. It is very similar to a problem that is listed on this page. Unfortunately, their fix didn’t work. I wish I could fix it but I have spent way too much time on it already and I have a lot of work I need to focus on. If anyone can help me with this, please let me know!
On a side note, I updated to Gaim 2.0 (beta5). It is pretty stable and I like it. I have beta6 on my Ubuntu machine at home so I knew it’d be good. The only issue I encountered is that the audio stopped working. This can be fixed by putting in the “aplay %s” command under preferences > sounds > sound command. Of course, you have to use method = command to get it to work.
oh my… i have no clue what you are talking about, not at all. i think you should just buy a mac… hehehe.
