Show Chinese font at Linux boot
Hello All, I would like to be able to see the Chinese font from the moment I boot Linux (i.e. before I start Gnone). So far, I have installed the Chinese font as follow from this page: http://isis.poly.edu/~qiming/chinese-debian-mini-howto.html I did steps 1, 2 and 3: |*1- dpkg-reconfigure locales *|2- apt-get install ttf-arphic-bkai00mp ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp ttf-arphic-gbsn00lp ttf-arphic-gbsn00lp 3- apt-get install scim scim-chinese scim-tables-zh However I am unable to display anything: it remains in Western fonts. I would be happy to get some help from you. Many thanks in advance, Regards, Eric -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

BUG: Problem while booting Debian with LDVS connector instead of VGA
Hello, I have a problem that I meet each time I boot Linux on an embedded computer. Configuration: Embedded PC : ECM-LX800 Screen: LVDS (and not VGA) Linux: Debian ETCH version 2.6.18-6-686 The problem comes after GRUB gives the instruction on which partition to boot, BUT before that Linux kernel is loaded. Noticed facts: 1- in short-cutting the VGA connector (i.e. pin 5 and 12 strapped together), which simulates the presence of a VGA display attached to the PC, Linux boots normally. The video signal is indeed sent to the LVDS output. 2- Linux installation was proceeded with success, but with the VGA connector connected to an external display as described in item 1. 3- When the VGA connector is free from any connector or from any strap between pins 5 and 12, after GRUB has started: the display becomes then black. Linux kernel is not loaded. Question: Is there a configuration file to modify before the kernel is loaded to tell Linux not to take into account the VGA connector, but instead to send straight the video signal on the LVDS output, and then to boot normally ? Many thanks in advance, Best regards, Eric -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Retrieving the signal while plugging a USB key
Hello, I would like to know if there is a command I can type with Debian to detect if a USB key has physically connected to the computer. My main concern is to get a signal, trace, alarm, etc related to the physical connection between the PC and the USB key. This command can be pooled or else. Any help will be warmly appreciated.

Touchscreen: How to hide arrow cursor of the mouse
Hi All, Further to my previous question, I forgot to mention that the purpose is to use a touchscreen instead of a mouse. Do I need a given driver ? Does the cursor need to be disabled in Linux only ?

Thanks for your reply ! :) Could you tell me know how I could proceed technically to do so ??

Any help will be more than welcome ! :) echo 'blacklist psmouse' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local for a PS/2 mouse. This will prevent loading of the mouse driver on startup. For other mice e.g. USB, you'll need to do the same for the appropriate modules e.g usbmouse, usbhid. Thanks for your reply, it worked fine. However I still have the mouse arrow cursor on the screen. In fact in my setup, I have a touchscreen where I would like to make the mouse cursor disappear. I thought that in disabling the PS2 mouse it would have gone anyway, but did not.
