Re: [gentoo-user] ps2 mouse
I had a similiar problem with my optical mouse doing the same thing, amongst other issues. If I unplugged the mouse and plugged it back in, it would work fine. However, if I moved the mouse while in a console rather than X, my keyboard would not work until I unplugged the mouse and reconnected it. Unfortunately, I was only able to fix this by replacing my wireless keyboard with a wired keyboard. -- Neil Rachynski -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Kirk Lancaster [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, February 5, 2004 11:43 am Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] ps2 mouse On Thursday 05 February 2004 12:24 pm, Alex Nelson wrote: I use a kvm (between a 533Mh Alpha running Red Hat (2.4 kernel) and a AMD-64 running Gentoo (2.6 kernel)). My mouse is a wireless optical mouse. I have not noticed any mouse problems. (I do not run games on my office computers, however.) Another question is are you using a KVM? I had a similar problem with my optical scroll mouse going nuts under the 2.6.x kernels and it turned out to be my kvm. Not sure if there is a fix out for this yet or not.

From Webopedia.com : KVM switch Last modified: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 Short for keyboard, video, mouse switch, a hardware device that enables a single keyboard, video monitor and mouse to control more than one computer one at a time. KVM switches are popular among users who have upgraded their home PC systems and want to still use their old computers but do not want to invest in a second keyboard, monitor and mouse. KVM switches are also used by business to save money when one person uses more than one computer and in server farms where it is only necessary to periodically access each separate server in the farm one at a time. -- Neil Rachynsk -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Koala Gnu [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, February 5, 2004 12:41 pm Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] ps2 mouse kvm?

Re: [gentoo-user] iptables v1.2.8: can't initialize iptables tables 'filter'
Not at home at the moment but when I did 'lsmod' earlier, only ip_tables was listed (I would have to manually 'modprobe' other modules for iptables. - Original Message - From: Norbert Kamenicky [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Monday, February 2, 2004 9:10 am Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] iptables v1.2.8: can't initialize iptables tables 'filter' Neil Rachynski wrote: Greetings, I have just finished a GRP installation on a box I was intending to use as a router/firewall for my home computers. However, once I reboot the system after the installation is done and emerge iptables (1.2.8- r1), I can not add, list, or do anything to iptables itself. The error I receive is : iptables v1.2.8: can't intitialize iptables table 'filter': Tables does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. When I went to view the file 'rules-save' in /var/lib/iptables, the file was completely blank (explaining why it can't find the filter table). At that point, I copied rules-save file from another working PC to this one. However, it would then give me an error when restoring the ruleset (always the line containing '*filter'). The working one is running iptables-1.2.9 so I'm not sure if that'll make a difference with the rules-save file. I was hoping to be able to get iptables up and running before connecting to the internet and doing an 'emerge sync' and 'emerge -u world'. I have been through the gentoo user forums but the only suggestions I could find there were to either re-emerge my kernel and/or iptables. I've done so several times and have built iptables support right into the kernel as well as as modules. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Neil Rachynski What is lsmod |grep ipt saying ? U must see minimum ip_tables module, but I have about 15. Look to /lib/modules/./netfilter/* for all available modules. noro -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] timezone
You have to edit /etc/rc.conf to change the the time zone from =UTC to =local. Sorry I don't remember the exact line as I am not at home right now but if you read through /etc/rc.conf, it will tell you where it needs to be changed.

Yet if I do date I get UTC! is there a bug in the lates stable in gentoo that I should know about? Is there been another change that I've missed somewhere re: time? -- Ted Ozolins(VE7TVO) Westbank, B. C -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
