Re: [newbie] MS Intellimouse, X Windows, and problems...
I found the solution to this problem from a message I saw on DejaNews. Someone mentioned that there is a 'mouseconfig' program that will configure just the mouse. When I ran it, it looked just like the part of the linux-mandrake install that asked about the mouse. I selected the appropriate mouse and pressed ok, and presto! It worked. It filled in info that was close to what was said below. the device was "/dev/psaux" and I don't remember any ZAxisMapping, but I could be wrong there. I don't have my ethernet card set up over there yet, so I have to use Windows to send e-mail.

The solution that worked for me was to run XConfigurator, setup my video (Diamond Viper V770) and then edit the XF86Config manually to get the mouse to run properly. My XF86Config looks now like this: Section "Pointer" Protocol"IMPS/2" Device "/dev/mouse" ZAxisMapping 4 5 HTH Sean Brzozowski - Original Message - From: "Timothée Revil" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 1999 9:10 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] MS Intellimouse, X Windows, and problems... I have exactly the same configuration, but for me, I can't even set my mouse without my computer freezing.. I tried many different ways to fix it, without any luck. If you ever succeed in configuring it, please post how you did it!! Thanks, Tim I have a Diamond Viper V770 TNT 2 video card that I successfully installed the drivers for, which I am very proud of, since it was my first mod of linux. However, now that I have 1280x1024x32bpp resolution in X, I don't have a mouse that is working properly. What it is doing is as you move the mouse around, it is getting button press signals all over the place and popping all over the upper-left corner of the screen. I have played around with the settings in XF86Config to point the mouse device as /dev/mouse and /dev/psaux. I have also used the "Intellimouse" and "PS/2" mouse types. What is interesting about this problem is that when I had a more typical video card and the install figured out exactly what to set, the mouse worked great in X. Could it be an interrupt conflict? Has anyone else seen this problem...? Thanks, Dave

[newbie] ADSL and DHCP and Linux, oh my...
I have been trying to get Linux to see the internet. I have ADSL that was working fine for Windows, and now, when I try to get Linux to see the internet, I get this error: Determining IP information for eth0...Operation failed. The 'pump' command is the one failing. I have tried all the suggestions that I can in the mini-howto for DHCP. It still doesn't work. My ISP isn't much help, they tell me that they don't support Linux yet, but here is what has worked for others: IP Address: Obtain from server automatically WINS configuration: DHCP IP Gateway or default router: Leave blank or (0.0.0.0) Host: (YOUR userID) IP Network Class: C IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Domain: swbell.net DNS Server: If you cannot select Server Assigned Name Server, then select the following: Primary DNS: 151.164.1.8 Secondary DNS: 151.164.1.7 I tried that too, I wasn't using my userID as my hostname. However, that also didn't work. I am just hoping that others here that have set up their Linux with ADSL will know what needs to be done. Everything else with the setup/install of Linux went VERY smoothly! I use Linux at work now and compared to Windows, it's billions of times more stable. However, so far I am finding connecting to the internet is still much easier in Windows. Sorry guys. *PLEASE* prove me wrong! :) Dave - [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[newbie] Ethernet problems with 3COM card
I am having a problem with my 3COM EtherLink III ISA 3C509b-TPO card. From what I have been reading, I am supposed to see some kind of 'eth0' text in the boot up text (dmesg). However, I am not seeing anything about eth0 at all. When I try to run dhcpcd I get the following message in the dhcpcd.log file... Oct 6 22:26:02 davidem dhcpcd[1468]: dhcpStart: ioctl SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable I then tried tcpdump -evvn -i eth0 and recieved the following text... tcpdump: WARNING: SIOCGIFADDR: eth0: Cannot assign requested address tcpdump: listening on eth0 tcpdump: pcap_loop: read: Network is down I am guessing that all that means that my ethernet card is not getting seen by Linux. Has anyone else seen this problem? Do I just need to set an irq? If so, is there a way to see what irq's are currently being used and pick one that is safe? How do I set the irq for the ethernet card in Linux? I haven't found any HOWTO's for this problem. Pointing me to one that would help me get the ethernet card up and running would also be helpful. Thanks for all your patients... (I hope I have the HTML stuff turned off now, sorry about that guys! :) Dave --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
