What is the kernel option for the mii module.

I am working on making a custom kernel, and want to install the mii module, but I can't find the option anywhere using 'make xconfig'. I've looked through the config file of another kernel I have installed with the module, but still don't find the option. Does anyone know what it is, and/or wha

Erratic mouse in tty

I am trying to get my mouse to work in both X and the ttys. Originally the mouse worked fine in the ttys, and in X it would move about erratically, and click randomly. I fixed this by changing the Device to /dev/gpmdata, and changing gpm's repeat type to raw. (As I understand it, this causes gpm to

Dowgrade Problems

I recently made the mistake of trying to upgrade to some packages in Woody, and because of that I can no longer get X to work. I'm now trying to get things back to the way they were, and was told to use dselect to do this. However when I mark Obsolete (Woody) packages for removal, some packages

Installed Woody Package, Killed X

I added the testing sources to my sources.list in order to get a few packages in woody (mainly vlc-gtk), and in doing so upgrade some X related packages. Now when I run 'startx' I get this error: X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting. I got some help in #debian

Loadlin Memory Limit

Garbage for Text

I just got XFree 3.3.6 running on Debian 2.1r2, unfortunately the text is unreadable. It appears as a whole bunch of vertical lines, or random blocks. It appears this way at every resolution. However when I bring up a menu the text is fine until I high-light it with my cursor. The text remains this

libXmu not found

I am trying to install XFree86 3.3.6 on my system running Debian 2.1r2. When using XF86Config I got no errors throughout the installation process, and I am almost 100% sure that all of my settings correct. However when I enter the command 'startx' I get this error: xinit: error in loadi
