I got the same problems myself in SuSE 8.2, are trying to alter the configuration for the screen, have gotten a tips: Try to install in 1024x768 resolution or better, 8 - bit colors.

I'll try it myself as soon as possible, but I think I broke some hardware when switching to a better monitor...

If you use 8.1.7 v3 (the current version of 8.1.7) it got its own java. If you dont, use ONLY Blackdown java 1.1.8_v3.

See http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.html for more info about the java - version, I got the hint about the low color depth from a competent professional in Norway but have not been able to try it myself yet.

Please send me a mail if you solve the problem... Received on Sat Aug 02 2003 - 21:04:10 CEST
