Mine is working partly. After recompiling the kernel twice with new options I could connect dial in. However after sending the password it froze. Then I compiled some other modules into the kernel and now I can establish a connection. The only problem is that I can only open one stream at a time and the speed is 1.5kbps instead of 4kbps on SuSE. I suspect that there is another module missing or I have to configure something.
Is this the internal modem or the pcmcia? whichever it is, what does
suse use to drive it?
I will keep trying. I have also some minor issues with Emacs, kdm, bash, mount and some others but I should be able to fix those once the modem is running completely. I can also chroot into SuSE and then execute commands there. Is there any way to do this and preserve the connection to the X-server?
what is the error message when you try?
kppp: cannot connect to X server :0.0
echo $DIAPLAY gives :0.0
Exactly. Works fine for most things except for kde. When Gentoo overwrote my configuration the first time I was really happy to have a backup.I have to use different configurations for kde under SuSE and Gentoo. I saved them as .kde.gentoo and .kde.suse and added the following python-script to my .profile. It works under SuSE now I only have to test it under Gentoo.
import os, sys
distro = open('/etc/distro').readline().rstrip('\n')
def process(file):
global distro
if os.path.isfile('/home/robert/'+file) or os.path.islink('/home/robert/'+file):
os.unlink('/home/robert/'+file)
os.symlink(file+'.'+distro, '/home/robert/'+file)
process('.kde')
process('.bashrc')
are you sharing your home partition between gentoo and suse or
something?
Happy Hacking, Robert Himmelmann
