Re: Please but more bugs in Debian Linux ;-)
Hi! Howdy Martin! Hi, could you please put more bugs into Debian Linux? You obviously need to install the xroach package!

Please but more bugs in Debian Linux ;-)
Hi! Hi, could you please put more bugs into Debian Linux? I installed it on a 386 or was it a 486 at the university and connected to the network via ethernet card on the first try. That base system booted, I did a ping somehost.domain.de and it worked Thats way to easy. Could I please have some nasty installation problems and bugs and such back? I want to pay $100 for a software and have bugs, and now I pay nothing and have no bucks. What do I get? ;-) (Hey, dont take this serious;-) If I remember trying to get Windows 95 to the same point... headaches... But unfortunately they do install Win95/Novell for the new computer pool for the students of education. I tried to persuade them to use Linux, but failed. So: Thank you, thank you, thank you all who develop Linux and Debian Linux for doing such a great job!!! (AmigaOS/p.OS and Unix/Linux are the best OSes;-) A question I have anyway: The 386 or 486 has a Microsoft Serial Port Compatible mouse. I couldnt try a working driver module for that one. Microsoft Bus mouse did not work, PS/2 mouse did not work...

Thanks for the kind words. On 3 Jul 1997, Martin Steigerwald wrote: [snip] A question I have anyway: The 386 or 486 has a Microsoft Serial Port Compatible mouse. I couldnt try a working driver module for that one. Microsoft Bus mouse did not work, PS/2 mouse did not work... I tried every mouse driver that has been in the list... any ideas? One idea. A serial mouse does not require any of the modules you name above. You just need generic serial support, I believe. Your mouse is probably on /dev/ttyS0. If you install gpm for the console mode, or if you configure X, just select the options for a MS serial mouse. A standard Debian kernel like the one on the rescue disk will support a serial mouse. Note that /dev/ttyS0 is the proper name for COM1 and /dev/ttyS1 is COM2. Most vendors/people who build PC's put the serial mouse on COM1 which is /dev/ttyS0. Once you know where the mouse is, you can always create a symbolic link to /dev/mouse. Hope this helps.

From: Martin Steigerwald [EMAIL PROTECTED] A question I have anyway: The 386 or 486 has a Microsoft Serial Port Compatible mouse. I couldnt try a working driver module for that one. Just use the serial driver (you probably don't have to load it) and say it's a Microsoft mouse. So it's bugs you want? Read the Developer's manuals (at http://www.debian.org/doc/, or install their Debian packages). We need more package maintainers.
