[gentoo-user] scanner module

2004-02-11 Thread jm . bornier
Hello all,
since I adopted K 2.6 (mm-sources) I have a hard time using my scanner. 
In make menuconfig, USB Scanner is said obsolete. and:
 This driver has been obsoleted by support via libusb.
What does it mean? What is libusb?
TIA

Re: [gentoo-user] genkernel documentation?

 I've been looking for documentation on genkernel 3.0.1_beta9 and not 
 having a lot of luck. What I want to do is build 2.6.1-gentoo. 
 From /usr/src, I did:

 ln -sf linux-2.6.1-gentoo linux  cd linux

 Then:

 # genkernel -- menuconfig --install all
 GenKernel v3.0.1_beta9
 * ARCH: x86
 * KERNEL VER: 2.4.20-gentoo-r7
[]
genkernel believes you want to configure your 2.4.20 kernel, I think
because you did not type rm linux before creating a new symlink (check
with ls -l)
As for the doc, man genkernel is quite clear; after reading it I had no
more problems with it

[gentoo-user] touchpad with 2.6 kernel

2004-02-03 Thread jm . bornier
Hello all,
On my laptop I have settled /etc/XF86Config so that only my usb mouse, not the
touchpad, is active; in my /etc/XF86Config I have these lines:

Section ServerLayout

(... )

InputDevice Souris USB CorePointer
InputDevice Keyboard1 CoreKeyboard

EndSection

and the other mouse has no entry in this section.
This worked well when I used a 2.4 kernel, but now I use the 2.6.1 and my
touchpad is active. 
Is there some automatic setup in the kernel?
Thanks for any help,

 It seems different to yours. I can't figure out what to do from the printing
 guide as it just saysgo to parralel port support and enable it. My question
 is how..?
Well you have some of them as modules, so you must make sure they are
loaded with either modprobe parport_pc, etc., or written in your
/etc/modules.autoload/.. relevant file. 
HTH,

 ssmtp depend on a relay server (qmail, postfix, sendmail.) If you want to send 
 mail, you need a complete SMTP server.

No, you can send mail with a correctly set-up ssmtp (this is what I do);
you have to write the file in /etc/ssmtp/
