Somebody an idea? Surely an openSUSE expert as yourself would consider -- 1) download last available source RPM from openSUSE 11.1 2) compile and build against latest libraries 3) install the built rpm 4) voila, Sax2

Shh, I don't want it knowing that it's gone and suddenly disappearing from my system. As for a replacement, maybe these would do: <http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/openSUSE:11.2/standard/sax2.ymp?base=openSUSE:11.2&query=sax2> <http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/openSUSE:11.3/standard/sax2.ymp?base=openSUSE:11.3&query=sax2> Just pick the right one for the version of openSUSE you're running :-) If they're no help, you might find some info/help here: <https://features.opensuse.org/308357> <http://wiki.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_graphics_cards> Regards, David Bolt -- Team Acorn: www.distributed.net | | openSUSE 11.3RC2 32b | openSUSE 11.1 64b | openSUSE 11.2 64b | | openSUSE 11.1 PPC | TOS 4.02 | RISC OS 4.02 | RISC OS 3.11

Wanted to type 11.3 11.2 still has it. Sorry. I guessed as much, which is why I looked for both 11.2 and 11.3. >> As for a replacement, maybe these would do: >> >> <http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/openSUSE:11.2/standard/sax2.ymp?base=openSUSE:11.2&query=sax2> >> <http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/openSUSE:11.3/standard/sax2.ymp?base=openSUSE:11.3&query=sax2> >> >> Just pick the right one for the version of openSUSE you're running :-) > > Again not a replacement for sax2. And for 11.3 Why replace it if it's still there? It may be depreciated but, afaik, it still works. As for a true replacement, I've no idea what you'd use in its place. >> If they're no help, you might find some info/help here: >> >> <https://features.opensuse.org/308357> >> <http://wiki.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_graphics_cards> > > Yeah. Going back editing the xorg file. I was never able to do it. :-( Don't think I've needed to do so, at least not for a long while. I haven't checked, so maybe have missed it, but are they really going to drop sax2 without a suitable replacement? If so, what are they going to do about those where xorg doesn't get its configuration right and needs to have the correct configuration specified?

One general piece of advise seems to be to save the old xorg file ;) Vahis -- http://waxborg.servepics.com openSUSE 11.2 (x86_64) 2.6.31.12-0.2-default 20:26pm up 27 days 4:58, 12 users, load average: 0.05, 0.21, 0.26 |
