Well, I retraced every procedure I've tried before, to no avail. As I have
no immediate neighbours, I've found another way out of it is to turn the
wick up on the stereo so my desk vibrates just enough to make the
mousepointer do a little breakdance in rythmic sympathy (^8
Another (perhaps stoopid) idea I had, was to plug the win95 drive from
the machine down in the shop, into this box. After the initial gnash of it
identifying all the different hardware, I notice *it* finds my serial
ports exactly where RHL-5 (and the rhl install) finds them, and the
'device manager' echos a situation of NIL hardware conflicts. I doubt this
observation means a hell of a lot..but windoze was able to mouse blank,
screenblank, and do other blank things...all the time without locking up
during a download, or needing a swift kick in the mouse to get it going...
Wouldn't it send you to tears..I plugged my usual redhat drive back in,
and the problem returns forthwith. Dammit..if suckware like windows can
manage it, so can rhl...
3 further questions;
1> if it *was* a conflict on the irq between serial ports, would I expect
to see BOTH the RX & TX lights go 'dead'?? This is not the case..the TX
led will indicate it's sending something, it's only the INCOMING side that
locksup...simply NO activity with the RX led ONLY...until I touch the
mouse of course.
2> I always launch my ppp link to my isp with;
> pppd connect 'chat -v "" ATDT<my_isp_phone#> CONNECT ""' /dev/modem\
115200 crtscts modem defaultroute noipdefault
Can anyone see anything awry with that, or suggest any modification to
it to help me nail this mouse to the coffee-table? It seems only the
serial ppp link via the modem is the culprit..ether works fine.
3> Although the problem is evident with both stable & developement
kernels, I have been running 2.1.9x since the release of same. With these
devel kernels, I see this;
Warning, cua0 opened, is a depreciated tty callout device
I think I've seen the same regarding cua1 (/dev/modem)..what exactly does
this mean?
thnx for inklings about this
