Hello All. Wondering if you could help a fellow ham who is new to the
Linux world.
I've installed openSuse 11.1 on a new laptop. This isn't my first Linux
attempt, but this is my first time dedicating myself to learning this OS.
Since installing Linux last month, I have been playing around with KDE
and getting used to some changes. I've tried installing XASTIR via
YAST, but it never worked.
I found some online resources and was able to overcome MOST of my
obstacles. The main one being that X-11 wasn't installed. I finally
found that solution and I can now get XASTIR to load on my laptop!!
The problem I am having is that I can not enter any text into the text
boxes. Because of this, I can not enter my Latitude/Longitude or Call
Sign. (as well as anything else that requires text!). All mouse
functions seem to work fine. I can download maps from the internet.
Am I missing something or a package that allows text in X11? If you
need logs, please let me know what to look for..remember, I am very new
to Linux.
I installed via "Method 2" from this page:

Thanks - and 73
