|
|
|
Please point me in the right direction of there is am FAQ on this but I
|
|
have looked everywhere.
|
|
|
|
I have a Logitech Trackball Bus Mouse. This mouse emulates a Microsoft
|
|
mouse and is compatible with Mouse.Com for MSDOS.
|
|
|
|
Linux (SLS 1.03) detects the card (set on irq 2) and tells me so on startup.
|
|
|
|
I have /dev/mouse symbolicly linked to /dev/busmouselogitech.
|
|
|
|
When I run Xwindows the mouse is detected but I can't move it.
|
|
|
|
in Xconfig, I have busmouse "/dev/mouse".
|
|
|
|
The funny thing is that I had VGA card installed previously that had a bus
|
|
mouse port on board. This port worked fine. Unfortunately this VGA card
|
|
was not SVGA and not to fun for X.
|
|
|
|
Any help would be appreciated. I would like to know if there is a way to
|
|
test the mouse outside of X at least.
|
|
|
|
When i type cat /dev/mouse I am told to try again. I can't cat the mouse
|
|
movements.
|
|
|
|
Also, I would like to know how to install a serial mouse. When SLS was
|
|
installed it asked me if I had a mouse and if I had a modem. It said I
|
|
could change these things lateer with syssetup. When I ran syssetup the
|
|
program ran, and dropped back to the prompt in 2-3 seconds and did nothing.
|
|
|
|
Is there a way to get this to run?
|
|
|
|
Thanks

Date: 6 Sep 93 20:09:21 -0800
|

|

I have just compiled and put on my system .99pl12 and noticed several problems
|
|
that you may want to know about.
|
|
|
|
1) Sometimes when I boot, I cannot use my keyboard. None of the keys do
|
|
anything including the numlock keys. I have to reboot and hope the filesystem
|
|
is not corrupted.
|
|
|
|
2)
|
|
I downloaded ext2fsprogs 0.3. When I run e2fsck on my hard disk, it checks,
|
|
then it marks it clean. If I try to run e2fsck again, it says that the
|
|
filesystem is clean and exits. I know this is normal conduct for e2fsck. The
|
|
problem is that when I reboot (using shutdown -r now) the first mount says it
|
|
is mounting an unchecked file system, which leads me to believe that shutdown
|
|
marked it dirty??? then when my e2fsck runs (which I placed in /etc/rc) it
|
|
goes thru the whole kit and kaboodle and checks the filesystem. Anyone know
|
|
why this is and how to correct it? It should only actually check the system if
|
|
it is not marked clean.
|
|
|
|
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please respond via private mail if you
|
|
can.

|
|
I am using a Diamond Stealth 24 VLB (na na naa na na) and a CTX 17" monitor
|
|
to run X in 1024 X 768 and I'm having problems with X refreshing the screen
|
|
automatically. It's noticably bad when you try to look at the menu from
|
|
on top another window.
|
|
|
|
I think I either saw a FAQ on this or someone posted a solution in c.o.l. but
|
|
I've seen soo much paperwork in the last week while installing this that I
|
|
can't remember where it was.
|
|
|
|
Is there an easy solution or a way to map a keystroke to do an xrefresh?

OTOH, there is some sort of bug in networking with the p12 kernel, I can

with regularity crash the kernel and cause it to write a core file until
|
|
ANY disk partition runs out of capacity, I've gotten 142mb core files at
|
|
times, and you can imagine that takes awhile to generate! :-( Most of
|
|
the time after it runs out of disk space, I can regain control of the

system and continue, of course the first step is to kill off the monster
|
|
core file!

Try putting the line NoSpeedUp in Xconfig. That might fix the problems
|
|
with the screen leaving bits of windows/not refreshing right, etc. I had
|
|
problems with at ET4000 card until I disabled the speed up code. I think the
|
|
speed up code might be buggy or doesn't work with certain buggy chipsets
|
|
(not just Diamond I'm afraid, any Xfree people know about this?)....
|
|
|
|
Adding NoSpeedUp to Xconfig might not help, but it might, so give it a
|
|
try.

Do you know under what conditions you can regularly crash the kernel?
|
|
Compile Linux with -g and lookup the EIP value using gdb
|
|
/usr/src/linux/tools/system, and do a list *0xeipvalue. If the system doesn't
|
|
do a crash dump, try using alt-scroll lock to get the EIP value. This could
|
|
help finding the bug(s).

Hi there,
|
|
|
|
I found through trial and error that I could not do a serial login from ttys1 and with ttyS1, it comes up with the login prompt and will only accept the login name before freezing the port. Lastly, I tried using cua1 and that has worked perfectly. I am using Linux SLS distribution 1.02 as well.
|
|
|
|
Just my 2 cents worth.

|
|
|
First:
|
|
I have installed SLS 1.03 on my PC.
|
|
After kernel rebuilding, I used Quickinstall to boot linux from hard disk,
|
|
but it seems to hang on boot. (It says LI... and dies)
|
|
|
|
Second:
|
|
I am not able to use properly all tree buttons of Microsoft serial Mouse.
|
|
It works fine only in tree buttons emulation mode.
|
|
Any ideas?

IMHO this is the main structural bug in most "BBS"-setups for
|
|
UNIX. There you have an operating system that went through
|
|
great pains to stick an owner-ID to each system object (files,
|
|
processes, devices and so on) and the first thing a UNIX-BBS
|
|
does is to put all its users under a single UID. The second
|
|
thing the BBS does is to duplicate the effort the OS made to
|
|
seperate the BBS users and their data again - apparently a
|
|
major braindamage.
|
|
|
|
IMHO a BBS setup for UNIX should consist mainly of two parts.
|
|
|
|
The first is the BBS program in form of a users shell with
|
|
integrated news and mail users agent. Such a program should
|
|
utilize native UNIX news and mail transport agents and not try
|
|
to implement a propietary data format.
|
|
|
|
The second part would be an administrators shell for easy
|
|
creation and removal of users.

look in fstab, there is a wrong entry for your root filesystem like

I have been "playing" the UUCP capability of LInux SLS 1.03 for the
|
|
past few days (and nights. :-)) I used /dev/modem which is softlinked
|
|
to /dev/cua1 (COM 2) with uugetty -r set for /dev/modem in
|
|
/etc/inittab. Also I used Any in the relevent entries in the
|
|
/usr/lib/uucp/Systems file (just to test things out).
|
|
|
|
Here are several observations:
|
|
|
|
1) When SLS 1.03 is first installed, the system talks to the modem
|
|
(but no dialing out) frequently and then after a while (like an hour
|
|
or more), it leaves the modem alone.
|
|
2) Having done the necessary modifications to Devices, Dialers, and
|
|
Systems in the /usr/lib/uucp directory and the paths and config
|
|
files in the smail directory (don't remember the exact path
|
|
anymore), I could test my UUCP link using the command:
|
|
/usr/lib/uucico [-f] -x2 -s<hostname>
|
|
Without the -x2 (or higher e.g. x3, x4) flag, Linux would not
|
|
initiate a call otherwise uucico dials out with and without the -f
|
|
or the -r flags set.
|
|
3) I use crontab to schedule dialouts with the -f and -x2 flag on (I
|
|
want to make sure that the system dials out). Everything works
|
|
fine for a day or so and then
|
|
/usr/lib/uucico -f -r1 -x2 -s<hostname>
|
|
would do nothing except create the LCK..* and TMP...... files
|
|
in /usr/spool/uucp. The audit.local and other logs in the
|
|
/usr/spool/uucp don't seem to get updated when this happens (i.e.,
|
|
when uucico doesn't initiate a dialout). Usually the logs will say
|
|
something or explain why the dialout didn't occur and a couple of
|
|
modem lights will flicker for a few seconds but in this case nothing.
|
|
|
|
Questions:
|
|
a) How tightly "hardcoded" is the uucp neighbor "quick" to SLS 1.03?
|
|
b) How fast does the C.* and D.* files get created in the
|
|
/usr/spool/uucp/hostname directory? I notice that sometimes those
|
|
files (email addressed to hostname) get created as soon as I "send"
|
|
them out of the mail program (Emacs rmail mode) but then there are times
|
|
I notice that the files don't get created that quickly.
|
|
c) I haven't left my system alone long enough (e.g. for > 24 hours)
|
|
to see if the UUCP link will "wake" up again. Is the uucico's behavior
|
|
described in 3 above expected?

I had a similar problem...and I was told to remove the speedup code (via the
|
|
NoSpeedUp in Xconfig.) However, it had NO effect (I'm using an S3 video board,
|
|
tho). I also got another suggestion. "Try a different Windows-Manager" That
|
|
worked very well. I'm using fvwm, and it works pretty well, thank you.
