Hi List, still I'm no subscribed member ;) so please cc directly to me.
My ( non-optical ) remote keyboard and mouse eventually both loose contact to the receiver when I switch from text-console to X with ctrl-alt-F7. It's a serial logitech cordless wheel mouse . In XF86Config, it's configured imps2 to /dev/psaux. On the belonging logitech 'iTouch' keyboard is a time-stamp from Jan 2000. The 3 devices are placed alright at the right distances from each other and electric fields, according to the manual. There are 'rescan'-buttons on all 3, but that did work only in a very few cases. It's on Woody with Kernel 2.4.17. The problem also occured with Kernel 2.2.19. I can't reproduce this easily. It occurs rather seldom. Until now, I can't say if it depends on gpm beeing acitve. I start gpm only automatically together with mc on root-login-shells which I do very often, and unfortunately I could not remember exactly. gpm is listening to /dev/gpmconsole which is a symlink from /dev/psaux. I've got no possibility to enter the system through a lan or wan. No laptop at hand. But I don't want to relie on a hardware-reset. I remember there should be a way to detect the 'Turbo'-Button at the front of my old tower....perhaps i can write a 'damon' executing a script when this button is switched. I hope it will be enough just turning back to text-console. My net-search for something like 'detecting turbo-button under linux' failed, but I don't know the right keywords at all. Could somebody tell me a helpful link, or some appropriate keywords ? TIA, -- Michl. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
