I think default on debian is /dev/input/mice but I make a special device called /dev/usbmouse mknod /dev/usbmouse c 10 32 then tell whatever app to use that device(e.g. X, gpm) works good on all the USB mice and trackballs I've tried. looks like your mouse is working fine, your just not using the right device to access it nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I went by the steps at http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x194.html and it worked - I think as long as you change the device you point to in XF86Config either way works.

RE: SuEXEC and CGI to two VirtualHosts
Bill, Thanks again for your assistance and ideas on this. The more I get into this the more confusing it becomes! If I understand you correctly, to use SuEXEC I am going to have to either 1. completely change the way I wanted to set up my web directory (ies), or 2. figure out how to configure SuEXEC prior to compiling Apache and compile it from source myself. How can Debian leave us in such a fix?...where it is clear that we can set up the Apache document root any way we want and it is absolutely silent on the effects changes will have on using SuEXEC? (I have looked through the docs installed with Apache and there is virtually (ahum) nothing on SuEXEC.) If they thought it worth while to include in the build, then it should have been worth some documentation...and I mean more than "set it up according to the defaults and rules and it might work." (Even that, put in terms of a warning, would have saved me a few weeks of aggrivation for no good whatsoever.) For the record, in order to demonstrate to myself that I did not myself insert some hairbrained configuration data in the SuEXEC setup, I uninstalled and re-installed Apache. There is no indication at all during setup that SuEXEC is being installed (and it is)...the curious thing is that the re-install picked up much (not all) of my old configuration (before deleting it...thank goodness I had a backup)(but not the new document root -- why doesn't the installation include the ability to specify the document root in the case where SuEXEC is being installed automatically, since SuEXEC seems to be so tightly bound to the installation configuration)? The error message I am now getting from SuEXEC log is: error (a different level of error) command not in docroot. Time for some more thought. Sidebar: I contrast this to a PHP/MySQL setup I also have where there is no grief like this at all! Best Wishes!

How can Debian leave us in such a fix? How can the debian maintainer know where you want install things? The SuEXEC docs say: suEXEC Points Of Interest Hierarchy limitations For security and efficiency reasons, all suexec requests must remain within either a top-level document root for virtual host requests, or one top-level personal document root for userdir requests. For example, if you have four VirtualHosts configured, you would need to structure all of your VHosts' document roots off of one main Apache document hierarchy to take advantage of suEXEC for VirtualHosts.

That's true, but look at how many module options there are in the default httpd.conf -- there's no way to list all the details. Think about mod_perl's potential complex issues. SuEXEC is typically used by ISPs and other experienced users -- and is also typically used for ~user type directories which is how the debian package has it. You have to keep in mind that the debian package is basically the Apache defaults, plus setup in a standard way to work for a wide group of users. Most people just use the default config and it works great. Once you start changing things without have a good knowledge of Apache then you are in for a frustrating time. It's not easy until you do spend those frustrating weeks. > For the record, in order to demonstrate to myself that I did not myself > insert some hairbrained configuration data in the SuEXEC setup, I > uninstalled and re-installed Apache.

That means you are trying to run a suexec script in a place that's not in docroot specified at suexec compile time. --suexec-docroot=DIR Define as the DocumentRoot set for Apache. This will be the only hierarchy (aside from UserDirs) that can be used for suEXEC behavior.

Mike, I think you have to admit your troubles are a result of your inexperience with this setup. The Debian package works perfectly for most people.

RE: SuEXEC and CGI to two VirtualHosts
Bill, Again thanks. >Mike, I think you have to admit your troubles are a result of your >inexperience with this setup. Absolutely, and I see your point about the number of other modules (but do any of them have this particular sort of inability to work if the default setup isn't used? SuEXEC seems unique in this regard). And in addition to inexperience, I have an inborn stubborn trait -- I want my directories where I want them! haha.

Not permitted to set DMA ???
Hi all,
I'm trying to set the DMA to on for my hd without much success. I have
pasted below all the information I think is relevant. I'm doing all the
below as root, and as you can see, somehow setting the DMA is not
permitted. My computer is about 6 months old, and I'm running the

perl 5.6.1-8 vs 5.6.1-7
I'm trying to install Perl onto a new system. "apt-get install perl" won't work because perl-base is required and a conflict arises. That is, "apt-get install perl-base" says the latest version is already installed, but this appears to be version 5.6.1-7, and "apt-get install perl" wants version 5.6.1-8. Could this be related to having Debian security in my sources.list? I see from the debian-changes list that 5.6.1-8 was accepted in November. But the distribution is "testing-security". How is that different from simply "testing"? Thanks. Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

the typical reason why hdparm would fail is because the chipset on
the motherboard or ide controller connected to the disk drive is
NOT "completely" supported by the kernel
- check the manufacturer and part number of the ide controller
and enable those part numbers in the ide/ata/dma section of the
kernel configs
and yes.. yoour drive is already set to run at udma5 ( ata100 )
basd on the * next to udma5 in your listing below

You may also need the module "mousedev" -- otherwise input doesn't know what kind of input device it is or where to map it. Where is it not working? gpm? X? Have you created the necessary USB devices in the /dev tree using MAKEDEV? Typically, once all the correct modules are loaded, mice are mapped to /dev/usb/mice. I, too, have a logitech USB optical mouse, and this is where it is mapped. It utilizes the IMPS/2 protocol, so make sure you configuer gpm and/or X with that in mind.

Sure. If you can directly receive mail, I'm guessing that you already have the DNS end of things worked out (you have some sort of name resolution working, and an MX record pointing to this box). Next, all you have to do is run eximconfig, and choose the 'internet mail host' option (IIRC, option 1) and answer the questions about your host name.

Re: need help with phpgroupware
Brad Cramer wrote: I am trying to install phpgroupware on a Debian Woody system, everything is installed and I can get to the login screen, but it is complaining about not finding db support. I have php4, mysql, apache and php-mysql installed so I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I have checked the phpinfo and it say's --with-mysql=shared/usr should'nt this take care of mysql support in php? Brad Cramer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here is a repost of Jacob S's solution: Jacob S. wrote: Chris and any others that may have been following this thread, Thanks to the guys over on the phpgroupware-users mailing list, and some suggestions from this list, I've finally got phpgroupware running. I ran into a lot of obstacles along the way. Hopefully these notes will be helpful for others that might be trying to get it running on Debian Woody as well. For starters, the php3-mysql package didn't edit /etc/php3/apache/php3.ini, so I had to add a line to that file before phpgroupware could see that I did have MySQL support installed. But then I was still running into a blank page on the Setup/Config Login. The folks over on the phpgroupware-users list recommended a newer version of the software off their site, as it had some improvements over the RC version that's in Debian. That combined with the fact that some parts of the Debian setup seemed better covered by php4, while php3 was listed as a dependency, I ended up uninstalling all .debs of php3 and phpgroupware. I then apt-get installed php4, php4-imap, php4-cgi and php4-mysql. Once that was configured, thanks to debconf, I used to cvs to grab the latest stable phpgroupware, and followed the install instructions from their website. At this point I had a problem with my web browser telling me the login page was a php3 file, and then asking me whether I wanted to download it or view it using a file handler. Through a combination of doing an updatedb, dpkg-reconfigure apache, editing httpd.conf and clearing the disk and memory cache in my browser (some of this was due to php3 remnants that were left on my machine), I was able to get the login page and edit my header.inc.php file. I also had to change the permissions on the ~phpgroupware directory to be owned by the same user and group that apache runs as. Next I had to create an empty database for phpgroupware to use for the Setup/Config login page. Evidently the mysql apt-get installation didn't set a password in mysql, so I had to use the command "mysqladmin -u root create phpgroupware" while logged in as root to create the database (Dropping the "-p" flag that the phpgroupware page said to use). I'll obviously need to secure MySQL a little better before I make this portion of my site public. The next step was giving the group "phpgroupware" access to the database "phpgroupware," as mentioned on the phpgroupware site. Finally I was able to login to the Setup/Config portion of phpgroupware/setup/index.php. Once you're in there it's just a simple matter of telling it to install all the applications, setting up an admin account, creating user accounts, etc. Now I'll be working on tightening the phpgroupware and MySQL security and then opening my firewall to allow my users to access my site. Thanks again for all the help from this list, Jacob Please reply to the list if you succeed.

Radeon Mobility M6/LY problem
Greetings, I recently purchased an hp pavilion xt345 laptop, which has an ATI Radeon Mobility M6 video card. Following some things that I'd read online, I used the 'radeon' driver in my X configuration. My problem is this: about 1/2 the time when I start X, something goes wrong and it appears as if some sort of refresh rate is incorrect. It's clearly trying to display the correct thing, but it shows things out of place and 'shaking'. If I switch to a terminal and back into X a few times, the problem goes away (until I switch back to a terminal again). Sometimes X starts up fine. The same problems happen when I use radeon-fb. Any ideas on what could be wrong? I would think that it has to do with the refresh rates in my X config file, but I don't understand why it would work fine half the time, in that case. Please CC me in any replies. Thanks! --Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Radeon Mobility M6/LY problem
It took me a week to get Debian to work with my ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder
whenever I started X. I finally changed the line in /etc/apt/sources.list so
it would take the testing debs instead of the stable, did apt-get update,
then apt-get x{whatever else they stuck on the name for x-common and standard
or server}. Once XFree86 was upgraded to 4.2.x, it worked fine.
I think this is one of the problems encountered due to the choice to upgrade
slowly -- it can take a LONG time before Debian supports new hardware. (I
know my AIW Radeon is over a year old and it just isn't supported in Woody --
you have to go to testing or unstable to get it to work.)

More Voodoo Graphics
I have a Diamond Monster 3d 4Mb Voodoo graphics card. I used to use it with SuSE 6.4 and xfree86 3.3.6. and could play tuxracer and bzflag. Since I upgraded to xfree86 4, I have not been able to configure the voodoo(1) graphics chipset. I am running debian testing, xfree86 4.2.1 and kernel 2.4.18-k6.

I have one monitor connected to my S3 2D video card, and a second monitor connected to the voodoo 3D card.

Your DHCP client is probably overwriting /etc/resolv.conf. Do a "man dhclient.conf" for details how to configure.

I can't speak for ipfwadm specifically, but with the ipchains wrapper it's one or the other. You can't use iptables commands and then switch off to ipchains commands. They are mutually exclusive. Additionally, the ipchains wrapper is not (TMK) as full featured as the ipchains tool present in the 2.2.x kernels. -- Jamin W.
