Hi, kitkitng-- I just had to do it myself. Use "mouseconfig"
/usr/sbin/mouseconfig
Very easy to do--once you know what to use and where it is. Seems that many
things are that way with Linux :)
Hmm--I wonder if penguins bite? Better read my penguin manual (:-

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
i am interested in networking the computers in my house and was
wondering what sort of hardware i should use. i dont want to spend a
whole lot of money, just something to network about five machines
together. i would like to have a 10/100 network because i may be
transfering some larg files, and i also might want to run games over the
lan. a friend of mine sugested SMC Etherlink cards and a Linksys hub,
but he doesnt use linux, so i was wondering if this hardware will work
easily in linux, or if there is a better card and hub. I dont want to
spend more than about $30 for each card. My main concern is
compatability.
Thanks

Hi,
It sounds like what I did with my SiS6326. Maybe I should change the
protocal of mouse too. Could you tell us what type is your mouse?
Because the mouse protocol is "Microsoft" for my Logitech serial mouse
under XFree86 3.3.6. It works well. I think probably changing to "PS/2"
won't suit my mouse. So, if you can tell us what type is your mouse,
that will be great.
And also, I got the same thing with that XFree86 -configure. But I
finally got 8bpp worked well with my 1024x768 display. But I could not
startx with 16 bpp and 24bpp. RH6.1 XF86Setup told me that the X should
be 32 bpp but it is impossible. So, did you work out the 16 bpp and the
24 bpp?
Thanks,
Davis

Hi,
Thank you very much.
I noticed that you did not use the "no_accel" option in your config
file. So, did you get any glitches from the X server? And also could you
tell me which version of XFree86 are your using, 3.3.6 or 4.0?
I used the same options as yours plus the "no_accel" option with my
XFree86 3.3.6. It worked well except that unacceptable refresh rate with
24 bpp.
This is the reason that I tried XFree86 4.0. But...
Thank you for your help.

Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2000 04:04:58 GMT
Hello!
I have a basic printing question with Linux. I am running Slackware 7.0
and am trying to set up a DeskJet PLUS. I have read all the
tutorials/HOWTOs, but they describe how to get lpr working. I am
wondering how I can get /dev/lp0 to work.
I have read on other postings that you should be able to do "cat
file.txt > /dev/lp0" and it prints something. I can't even get response
to it.
I did read through the parport howto, and got some response by loading
some of the parport modules, but that is a bit over my head, and was
wondering if someone could help explain some of this to me. (:
Thanks in advance,
Luke

But, have you *verified* this works for you? I wrote a few-liner

(usage: <program name> /dev/<printer> 1|0
Run as root.)

int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);

if ((fd >= 0) && (argc == 3) && !(ret = ioctl(fd, LPTRUSTIRQ,
trust = atoi(argv[2]) & 1))
printf("%strusting the irq\n", trust ? "" : "un");
return ret;
}

... and every printer I've tried (Brother HL-6, Okidata Okiprint 10i,
Epson Stylus Color 440) screws up when there's a lot of output (i.e.,
ghostscript) and TRUSTIRQ is set.

just curious... did you happen to find the SiS documentation in

You haven't mentioned any sources of information... or that you recognize
where the last reply was getting the different options for the card.
I have a SiS 620 card - granted... not *exactly* the same card... but I
*have* seen information posted that leads to horrible video performance...
and is significantly different than the options I feel work best.
I'll send you a copy of my /etc/XF86Config and the output from an X startup.

Subject: Re: pcmcia modem
Chris:
I just got a tuxtop and got the Linksys combo ethernet + modem card for it.
Unfortunately it does not function in either RH6.1 as shipped or Mandrake 7
(though Mandrake does detect the card correctly). Can you direct me where
to learn more about the configuration that may be required?
Thanks.
