USB mouse problems

2003-06-27 Thread Andrej Prsa

Can't start X apps from su

2003-02-08 Thread Andrej Prsa
Hello List, I have a very-difficult-to-reproduce-but-pertaining problem with accessing X applications (such as nedit) when gaining access via su from some other user's X session. If I log in as root to X, such problem never occurs. But as I don't want to take the name of root in vain, I got used t

Configuration file for a running kernel

2003-02-02 Thread Andrej Prsa
Dear everybody, Is it possible to retrieve .config file for a running kernel somehow? I guess they are usually acompanying the kernel in the /boot directory, but if I try to compile the kernel with that config, I get significantly different kernel size and behaviour is slightly different (e.g. PCM

Dual Lilo boot with Debian and RedHat

Dear Debianists! I have a problem and I hope you can help me out! Yesterday I installed Debian Woody 3.0r1 on my laptop. I have been using RedHat 7.3 and I grew tired of things not working the way they should, so I decided to try Debian out. I have a 40Gb disk, which was completely under RedHat.
