touchpad busted on 2.6 Dell Insp 4k

2005-12-15 Thread Justin Pryzby
Does anyone else find touchpad support to be broken using Debian's 2.6 kernels? I know about psmouse.proto=imps, but I'm really getting quite tired of it. It doesn't seem to work on Debian kernels 2.6.8 and 2.6.14, and I wonder if I just hacked the touchpad driver in my 2.6.11.1 to Work For Me.

gdm会造成不读取.xsession

2005-12-15 Thread cathayan
很郁闷的错误,不知道为什么。起因是我一时想起来Gnome,就在gdm里面切换到Gnome里去看了下,再回来时还是进入了缺省的Xfce4,就这么一个简单的切换,把输入法搞死了,可以运行scim或是Fcitx,就是叫不出输入法。 仔细观察发现,.xsession不知为何被略过了,到/etc/X11/下面去看,也一无所获。 郁闷间想起再用gdm一下会不会恢复。果然在gdm上再选择一次窗口管理器,这回选了一下xfce,进来居然就是好的了。 不明白什么原因。gdm是 2.8.0.6-1。 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blog.cathayan.org
