Hello First off, I remember you using a 2.4 kernel. Especially for a laptop, I would highly recommend going to 2.6. It has much better laptop support (esp. ACPI, etc) as well as other things. WHo knows, if you are lucky, you can get it to suspend.
I do not quite know what's with the USB drives, as I do not know how those options are in 2.4. Maybe you need to mess with your USB settings to enable support for whatever controller you are using, ohci or uhci, and also ehci if you have USB 2.0. Is it possible that different drives are getting assigned different names in /dev? Ie, the first drive you try would be sda, then the second is sdb, etc, because you have not unplugged the first one, or it has not had time to deregister? Look at the output of the command 'dmesg' after plugging in your drive (and a few seconds after), as it can provide some useful debug information. Also make sure you have SCSI emulation support enabled, as the usb storage system uses this. As for the mouse and touchpad, this is possible to get to work. You need to play with the input options of your X config file. I do now know how yours is laid out, but it seems like it is reading the first seen mouse device. One option is to try telling it to use /dev/psaux or /dev/input/mice for all the mice. Another solution that should work is to define two separate InputDevice sections for both mice. Then in your ServerLayout section, specify the first mouse as CorePointer and specify the other mouse device as SendCoreEvents. I have done this on my laptop and it worked pretty well for me. Google for SendCoreEvents if you are unfamilliar with it. Hope this helps Steve On Mon, 2006-04-10 at 23:44 -0400, Jin-Ho Yoon wrote: > Hello guys: > > Although most of stuffs are working fine, I have a couple of problems > with Dell Latitude D610 + RHEL3.0. > > 1.
