im converting from xp to suse 10.2

[ninjaprawn]

hi, ive bin using suse10.2 for 3 months, and i have 4 things left to get working properly, b4 i will be fully migrated to linux!

1, tvout from a geforce 6200, has the correct drivers, they work for compiz, but still im stuck running the 800x600 res, just so i can watch films thru the tv out. any better res courses the output to be bigger than the tv!

2, 7 button mouse (ms intelipoint) normal 5 buttons are ok, the other to are not assigned to any action, and i cant figure it out.

3, .rar compressed files, ghow do i uncompress them??

4, ssh'ing, but i have some basic tests to do, first i need to test ssh from to locally connected boxes, then, i need to get a tunnel through a proxy on port 8080, finally connecting to port 5905, using putty from winxpto suse 10.2

any ideas for these would be much appreciated!!

thanks!

You are already discussing number 4 in another thread:

sorry about mentioning point 4 again! ignore it. ill post my xorg.cof file later, when i get home from work! (1am)

the thing with the res is, that i run the desktop at 12xx x 10xx, but the tv only can do 800 x 600 ish, its widescreen. not hidef. ive got it fairly close to displaying the right output, but there is still a couple of inches on the right and bottom, that dont fit on the tv!

For rar files just install the rar package in YaST. Ark and file roller should then be able to use it to work on your files.

brilliant! i didnt even think about ark! ive installed the rpm for .rar files, but couldnt think of a front end! ark is already there so why not!! cheers for that!

1 down!!

i think thats the rar files done and the ssh done, just got to test the ssh!

i just need to get the tvout working properly, so i dont have to keep switching resolution to watch a film thru the tvout
the mouse. suse already realises there are 7 buttons, its just i cant assign the 2 buttons(thumb, little finger) to do anything! even just going back and forward thru a web browser would be great, if anyone nos about that??

thanks!
