Problems with XF86
I've been working to get XF86 running on a Dell Optiplex 5133 without much luck. Nothing seems to allow me to access the mouse. So far it's not been possible to get either gpm or XF86 to see it. We have tried many combinations and all except /dev/ttyS0 have given an error that the mouse device does not exist. It will not recognize /dev/psaux. Now for the interesting part. We loaded up CND 1.0 and it works fine as /dev/psaux... Any / all suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Dave -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I had that problem with Debian 1.1, where the solution was to recompile the kernel enabling the psaux driver. I did not have the same problem with 1.2 tho. --prashanth -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
