fglrx:firegl_init_module *ERROR* firegl_stub_register failed

If you get this error message while inserting the module fglrx then just unload
the modules radeon and drm. This solves the problem

ssh login takes much time

If the ssh login to a machine needs much time (more than 10 seconds) then put the line
UseDNS no to the sshd_config on the machine you want to connect to and restart the daemon.

If it is still slow then check if the /etc/hosts file contains the proc that you were about to connect from.
The point is that you do not only need to resolve the name of the proc that you want to connect to but also the name of the proc you connect from.

This really works and the login time should be below one second.

google-earth server connection problem

Google earth hangs when connecting to the server:
If you encounter a problem with google earth so that it can not connect to the server
and if it exits with a error code:29 then check the proxy settings.
I had this problem where google earth could not connect but all other browsers
could. I had to edit the file /etc/proxy (on SUSE 10.2) and manually switch off the proxy settings.
