I have two things that I did on Red Hat that I failed to
on Debian :
1) I configured my sound card suuccessfully and even
heard Elton John as well as Titanic on Red Hat Linux 7.1.
But my Debian Potato r3 (that consists only of the free
stuff - excludes the non-free stuff) , says - "Boss ! No!"
they provide both aumix and splay (splay for listening) ,
but when I try a splay -e titanic.mp3 ,
they say - "Can not find the sound device"
What type of sound card is it? What is the result of "lsmod"?
2) My mouse : I use a Logitech 3 button serial port - mouse .
RedHat 7.1 fusses at first , and takes it.
Debian does not take it ! :-
a) The console mouse services : gpm does not work
b) The F86Setup asks me questions , I do not know how to answer !
like : which device : psaux , etc .
You probably want to run gpmconfig and specify that your mouse is of
type "ms" and is located at /dev/ttyS0 (for Com1) or /dev/ttyS1 (for
Com2). Do this from a non-X virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1 from within X
will switch you to the first VT, where you can log in and do this). Once
the mouse is working correctly in text mode, edit /etc/X11/XF86Config
and change the mouse settings to use protocol "ms" (I think) and
location (Device) /dev/gpmdata. Restart X if necessary.
