Hi,

I've recently got a new 'old' computer (a p60) withy 2 ide channels 
instead of one where my secondary debian system used to live.

So after recompiling the kernel to add pci bios support for the new 
'old' p60, i threw the disks from the older 486 into the p60.

Everything is fine and it works a charm bar acouple of things.

1. The p60 has a ps2 mouse (at least, that's the connector type), but 
gpm won't coinfigure it (it just gets stuck at trying ttyS0-ttyS3 at 
various baud rates for ever), and when i try to force it to use 
\dev\psaux i get an 'operation not permitted' error (\dev\psaux exists - 
crw------ or something similar).  Same problems under X to - the server 
crashes with the 'operation not permitted error'.

I remember when setting up debian, the process guides you through what 
mouse you have - but it's changed now and I don't want to have to 
re-install Debian just to get the ps2 mouse working!

2. I was using a spanish layout keyboard (don't ask - the secondary 
system was a mish-mash of scrounged bit's and pieces), but now I have a 
UK layout one (with a ps2 style connector...), and I don't where to 
change the default keyboard setting.  Under X i do, but the base system.   
Any one able to help me?

Thanks,

Martin
