Re: [Xpert] Re: [Xpert]mouse configuration
What version is your linux kernel? I had this problem with a logitech usb mouse when using a 2.2 kernel. The mouse would freeze up whenever there was any load at all, and on a 2Ghz P4. Upgrading my kernel to 2.4.19 fixed the problem. This was with debian sid. It's kernel 2.4.19. My kernel shouldn't be a problem. I tried to kompile logitech-resolution.c but I get theses error messages after typing gcc logitech-resolution.c /tmp/ccffOufp.o: In function `get_resolution': /tmp/ccffOufp.o(.text+0xd): undefined reference to `usb_open' /tmp/ccffOufp.o(.text+0x2e): undefined reference to `usb_control_msg' /tmp/ccffOufp.o(.text+0x45): undefined reference to `usb_strerror' /tmp/ccffOufp.o(.text+0x61): undefined reference to `usb_close' libusb is on my system in version 0.1.5-118 You seem not to have problems compiling.

Run a `hdparm /dev/hda` and see if your drive is in DMA mode. If it is not set it in DMA mode otherwise disk access will eat far more cycles than needed. Also, check to make sure your machine isn't constantly swapping to disk. Memory is cheap. schu ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

This is the application. Probably doesn't work with your mouse though.
In addition to mouse resolution, it can test wireless features and disable
smart scroll on some mice.
