having switched over to a Logitech Mouseman mouse for a specific task, I want to switch back to my regular mouse, a RemotePoint, for other tasks. I have two XF86Config-4's, one for each mouse. The one for the RemotePoint has worked fine in the past. The one for the Mouseman is the one I'm still s

I occasionally want to switch to a second mouse, which is a Logitech Mouseman mouse with two buttons and a scroll wheel/button (not cordless) and have been trying to write a second version of my XF86Config-4 file to accommodate the new mouse. If I use protocol "microsoft," the cursor tracks the mo

[vox-tech] an answer to X11 forwarding with ssh2

2003-02-08 Thread Robin Snyder
A while back, I posted a question about not being able to forward X11 over ssh2--the display wasn't getting set. The answer is: 1. I didn't know that sshd had its own config file, sshd_config, which also has a forward X11 yes/no setting, and 2. sshd does not get reset when you log out, only wh

I'm unable to forward X despite the fact that I used the -X option with ssh and ForwardX11 is set to yes in ssh_config on the remote machine (on both machines, actually). I get the error message Error: Can't open display: which evidently means that ssh2 has failed to perform its usual magic in s

Any more thoughts about how switching to the 2.4.18 kernel might have made me unable to connect to many hosts? Jeff, you said it had the smell of a messed up routing table. Have we confirmed this? Do people think that the firewall is involved? - robin.

I came back from the Installfest very happy to finally have X running (thanks, Mike!) but now have no internet connection. I'm sure it's something stupid, but I can't figure out what. My setup: I'm on a fixed IP address, using a DSL line. I have two ethernet cards. What I've checked so far: I'm

As root, I have access to fonts in a wide variety of sizes, but as a user, I can only get 10 and 12 point font sizes, which are too small for my purposes. This suggests that I don't have the permissions set properly for some file or other, but I can't think what it would be. Ideas?

I'm having trouble running X because my machine is looking for a .Xauthority file under a non-existent user directory. (It's looking in a user directory with my surname, but that's not my account name.) 'Twas not always thus, and I don't know what I did to cause this behavior. Anyone know how I
