I was on the list trying to get any help on a USB Logitech mouse I was trying to install. I got a lot of support. I bought the Debian CDs (because I don't have a burner or a fast connection) as Woody 3.0 Official's. I am not actually aware of what kernel these CDs run. Some of the suggestions I got included recompiling the kernel, which I have never done before, and am not too sure about. Others involved installing one of these two packages:
hotplug usbmgr Now I tried both, with the usbmgr I was supposed to check /proc/interrupts, and look for an ohci or uhci, but I couldn't find any of those entries, so in order to avoide screwing up yet another installation, I decided to try the hotplug solution. It seemed easy enough, but I couldn't get that to work either. I tried installing gpm to just test the mouse without getting X involved, but I couldn't get that going either. This is my XF86Config-4 file if anyone cares to take a gander: I use xf86config to make the XF86Config file. This is because I have a weird old-school monitor that runs at 56hz at 800x600 only, and has fixed frequencies and resolutions. For some reason, xf86config seems to be the only X config tool that I have been able to get it to work with, this is the error I get when attempting to load it: (==) S3VIRGE(0): Backing Store Disabled (==) S3VIRGE(0): Silken Mouse Enabled (**) Mouse1: Protocol: "ImPS/2" (**) Mouse1: Core Pointer (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice No Such Device (EE) Mouse1: cannot open input device (EE) PreInit failed for input device "Mouse1" (II) Keyboard "Keyboard1" handled by legacy driver (WW) No core pointer registered No Core Pointer fatal server error: failed to initialize core devices And here is the Input Device part of my XF86Config file: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" EndSection The hotplug package is currently installed, and so is the gpm package. These are the packages strait of the 7CD set. I can't get gpm to work either, maybe that would be a goood precursor to making sure X worked? Additionally, I don't know how to re-use the debian config that I did during installation to reconfigure X, which is another reason I used xf86config. Everybody was so helpful yesterday, so thank you. I am really hoping I can find a resolution to this soon. Thanks. Rick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
