Re: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse
Here is my keyboard and mouse sections of my SF86Config-4. It's a pretty generic configuration, so may help you a little: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device""/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection For Debian, you can do (as root) 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86', and that will give you a nice configuration program. From there it shouldn't be hard to get a working system. One of those XkbModels that you tried should have worked (maybe try pc101?). Now, you probably won't get every single key on that thing to work, since many are Microsoft specific command shortcuts, but you should easily be able to get normal functionality. Another thing, if you are going to be using dpkg-reconfig to configure X, choose the least advanced level for the config questions they ask you. You will probably still need to know the horizontal and vertical refresh rates of your monitor, but it will automatically choose sensible options for a lot of other stuff.

RE: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse
Is your mouse a usb device? If not, perhaps try /dev/psaux instead of /dev/input/mice. You should try dpkg-reconfigure too. It may give you configure options for the keyboard that you haven't though of yet. Once you have a XF86Config-4 that works, then edit it by hand for whatever tuning and adjustments you want. You can use dpkg-reconfigure to change between gdm, kdm, and xdm, as well, by just putting one of them as the object of the command (I couldn't figure out earlier if you wanted to change login managers, or simply disable them entirely). If that doesn't work, have you posted your XF86Config-4 file yet? And it is only the keyboard and mouse that are causing you problems?

I have a USB optical mouse (Logitech) and what I think/thought is a serial or PS/2 mouse from Microsoft. They both work under Windows as I migrate to the optical mouse (I was waiting to see if linux supported the optical mouse) My system works just fine at the command line (obviously no mouse).

RE: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse
PROGRESS!!! I ran dpkg-reconfigure... it did indeed select /dev/psaux so I went along with it... Problem: gdm startup hung up on the screen details regardless of what I specified, so I ended up editing the xf86config-generated Config-4 file, borrowing details from the dpkg-reconfigured version UP AND RUNNING with gdm, using Microsoft mouse, but Logitech optical mouse apparently not recognized... survivable... something to worry about later, if ever. No problem recognizing keyboard (ps104) Thanks to all for help. Now I can REALLY get into trouble! Welcome any further thoughts and suggestions.

Glad to hear it. You can probably use that optical mouse as well (I have a Logitech optical, which works great), but you just have to change /dev/psaux back to /dev/input/mice.

RE: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse
I have two 'mouse/mice' entries in my Input Device Section, so I've just changed the one re Optical Mouse as you suggest One problem: I was in Gnome and used Ctl-Alt-F1 or similar to get to the command line. How do I get back. When in enter 'gdm' the response is 'gdm already running. Aborting!' Another question: Apparently from gnome I cannot log in as root. How do I do that from an x environment?

So, if you boot with the PS/2 mouse, you might have to load the modules by hand in order for it to work, otherwise they should load automatically (I'm assuming you're running the stock kernel).

RE: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse
To get from a terminal to X, it's usually Alt-F7 (ttys 1-6 are commonly getty login instances). Also there is a program called 'su' which allows you to become the root user. You should check out debian's install documentation from their website. It will help you get accustomed to the basics of the system. Debian offers a ton of great documentation, on the web, and which you can download as .deb packages (use dselect, and go to the Optional/docs section).

RE: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse
I will confess to some prior usage of both debian and unix. I was running Potato... and its predecessor about 2 years ago, with mutt, vim, gcc, exim, mostly and came back to try again when a Woody CD distribution became available with support for my Nvidia graphics card. Previously I had used a Silicon Graphics box some years previously Before availing myself of these lists, I typically check man, info, any HOWTO, the CD readme and help files, O'Reilly books, and often run a google search as well but often the relevant information doesn't always readily rise to the level of my radar For example, where is Alt-F7 documented (I fully stand ready to be embarrassed) PS, I suppose a lot of my problem could also be hoisted on a fading short-term memory (a combo of disease and age) and a major focus on a Windows production requirement -- David -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Jesse Hutton Sent: Saturday, February 08, 2003 1:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse To get from a terminal to X, it's usually Alt-F7 (ttys 1-6 are commonly getty login instances).

Hey, wow! Man 1 chvt. Awright! I used xterm on my Gnome desktop to view this. A couple of questions: While I fished around a bit, I don't see how to specify a different font... say for xterm. The 'Control Center' didn't seem to offer help Speaking of help, when I click on the ? icon on the bottom of my screen, I get a window with 'Could not load default TOC page'. However, when I click on Help in the menu of 'Control Center' it does open html pages of help I tried importing a jpg file that I use in windows as screen background. Should gnome accept it?

The 'Control Center' didn't seem to offer help It's not a gnome issue to setup the fonts for xterm. You can, however, use gnome-terminal and get a point'n'click interface to change fonts. For xterm, fonts can be selected on a one-shot basis with the -fn command-line option to xterm. Examples: xterm -fn fixed xterm -fn "-*-fixed-*-*-*-*" xterm -fn "-*-avant garde gothic-*-*-*-*" If you want to select fonts on a more permanent basis you will need to use X resources. You can see the system default resources in the directory /etc/X11/Xresources. You can also play with the command editres. Finally, there is a howto: http://bsd7.starkhome.cs.sunysb.edu/~samson/HOWTO/html/XWindow-User-HOWTO/XWindow-User-HOWTO-8.html (it is actually documented in excruciating detail in the official X docs -- but who wants to read that many hundred pages?) > Speaking of help, when I click on the ? icon on the bottom of my screen, > I get a window with 'Could not load default TOC page'.

(btw. jpeg files work fine on my system -- I suspect you are using an older version where nautilus and other pieces of the system fight over who gets to draw the background -- your background might actually show the jpeg but nautilus covers it with a window with icons on it that looks like the background but isn't. You can tell Nautilus not to, tell nautilus to draw the jpeg or get a newer version of gnome) > BTW, on a personal note, my long-term memory is quite excellent and > indeed improving with time; however my short-term memory ain't quite > what it used to be since bypass surgery.

'mice' may not be the correct device to use with the ps/2 mouse
driver. Try /dev/input/mouseN, N={0,1,...}.
The kernel messages may give you the correct value of N. Use
'dmesg' to dump them.

RE: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse
Well, no... (because I don't see any /dev/usbmouseX entries), but in the
spirit of your suggestion, I did try /dev/usb/mouse[0-1] with no effect
I think it is pretty clear (which may simply mean my mind has found a
dead space) that I am missing some usb drivers, but I was intrigued to
find a long list of mouseN, scannerN, and lpN, N=0..15 entries in
/dev/usb
