Mouse pointer (cursor) size Suse 10.3
This is not a new problem but I don't recall seeing a post on this subject, on this group, so far ,...

NTP wasn't working
After several days of my system clock showing the incorrect time until I entered YAST and did a manual test of the NTP daemon, I tried putting in a new CMOS battery. My settings were to access NTP at boot. The battery that I removed DID test bad. This morning, when I turned the machine on, I was anxious to see if t... 8 Jan 2008 15:40

Dead keys do not work in most applications
Hi all, I cannot compose characters in most applications. I use "setxkbmap -variant intl us" with OpenSuse 10.3. For example, when I press the dead key "´" followed by "a", nothing happens, although I should get something like "á". The only app where this works seems to be Konsole!? Any idea what I can do abo... 8 Jan 2008 06:14

UDP Port 13209
I was trying to play Doomsday Engine in multiplayer mode (in openSUSE 10.2), but I get no servers. It says UDP port must be open for incoming and outgoing traffic. I know nothing about this stuff; is it even safe to do this? If so, how do I check it to see if it's opened? If it's not safe, no problem, I just won't ... 8 Jan 2008 19:40
