I have a Logitech Wingman gaming mouse that I can't
figure out how to get the 3rd or middle button to work.
When I ran redhat, it got probed and configured
automatically so I don't know what made it work. I've tried
the emulate 3rd button in the XF86Setup and that did not
work.

you've been creating an extra so called "boot" partition IIRC with pdisk?
there is no use for it, forget this one.
I've been building kernels from the kernel.org sources since, hmm,
2.2.12, including many of Alan Cox's prereleases, with very few

In contrast, the few times I've bothered with the PPC development
tree sources, I've had lots of problems. The impression I've

My understanding, from the following release notes, is that
2.2.17 stands the chance of getting us past the separate-tree
madness. Could someone clarify?

Hi,
I installed Debian GNU/Linux (potato) on a Prep PowerPC (Motorolla 604)
In text mode everythings is fine.
I tried configuring X windows by using anXious. Its configuration processed
was smooth as
the video card is detected correctly as a svga.
While calling startx, the Xserver complains
Linux 2.4.0-test7 to /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/char/drm/ .
If your kernel source isn't in /usr/src/linux{,-}, you have to set
TREE to where the kernel headers are, e.g.
make TREE=/usr/src/linux-pmac-benh/include .

This appears to be true with both the kernel and PCMCIA module binaries
