mouse driver doesn't detect my scroll wheel

Hi I have a laptop with a trackpoint and a PS/2 port for external mice. When I plug in a 3 button mouse to the PS/2 port, it works fine, but the scroll wheel doesn't do anything. This seems to be a driver problem rather than an X problem, as "cat /dev/input/mice" doesn't show any output when I mov

openoffice file recovery?

hi all I just exited Gnome and logged back in. Seems openoffice didn't exit gracefully, because when I logged in it started up and asked me if I wanted to recover the file I had been working on; I said yes but it just hung. Now I discover that it also failed to save the file (I'm sure I pressed ct

Re: two basic "new to Debian" questions: network config & RMS

Depends what kind of networking you want to do. If you are just connecting to a LAN with a DHCP server running, then just run "/etc/init.d/networking start" as root and see if it works.

xset under gnome?

The maximum mouse acceleration that you can set from within Gnome's preference dialog is a little slow for me, so I like to set it manually with "xset". Can anyone suggest what would be the canonical way to do this every time I login to X, without Gnome overriding it? cheers David

clock speed trouble

Hi I have an old Toshiba laptop (c 1999) which uses apm rather than the modern acpi. Whenever I boot up on battery power, the cpu speed is incorrectly detected as 48.175 MHz. This makes the system clock run way too fast, which means my time gets wrong, and also makes the computer harder to use in

Re: clock speed too fast when power plugged in

Hi Richard Have you tried booting up unplugged and seeing if that solves it? That is the best workaround I have at the moment... David On Fri, 12 Nov 2004 13:14:48 +1300, Richard Hector <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Nov 11, 2004 at 11:28:17AM +0000, David Hugh-Jones wrote: >

USB printer problem

Hi I have a problem using my printer. It's a canon S100. I am using CUPS and Debian Sarge (same problem with kernels 2.6.7, 2.6.8 and 2.4.27). When I try and print a test page (from the admin interface at localhost:631) I get either the message "Printer fault" or the message "USB port busy; will r
