Help: What does this mean
Hi: I setup the following keycodes with xmodmap: keycode 24 = q Q 0x0b8 0x0c8 0x0d8 0x0e8 each keycode will generate 6 possible keycodes. My modifier map looks like this: shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lockCaps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71) mod2Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 mod5Scroll_Lock (0x4e) I tried every combination, but was not able to diplay any of the last four keysyms. What exactly is happening with these modifier codes. It was my understanding the first code is generated when there is no modifiers, second in ShiftMask, third when with Mod1Mask, etc. Right? -D __ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

Debian Installation -Simplest method
I want to install debian 2.2. Is there a simple way to install the system using a couple of floppies and a network connection. For e.g. I can install FreeBSD with 2 floppies and a network connection (the floppies contain the network card drivers, basic boot kernel, a dhcp client, etc.). There must be a way to do this in debian without having to download 12 floppies worth of data or 650MB iso image (and wait for 5 days for a CD to arrive; this is the easiest).

Mouse Problems and xdm
Hi: I have a couple of problems and I would like to get an opinion from those who might have an insite into these issues. I recently installed Debian 2.1 on my system. I have had Debian 2.0 previously and wsa very happy with it but i decided to do a fresh install. The installation went well (better than 2.0) but I ran into a problem that I am not familiar with - my mouse. I have a Microsoft mouse that plugs into my PS2 port (the one that has a S-Video jack). When I ran xf86config, I selected the /dev/psaux as my mouse interface device and I know that this worked because I can see the mouse when I am in the text mode console (I can see the mouse as a block in text mode and it works well). Now when I start mt X server, I have no control of my mouse - I can see it but it is very sensitive that I cannot move it around the normal way. It always gets stuck at the upper right hand corner and I have to move the pointer with my keyboard keys. Has anyone experienced any such thing? (I have a Matrox Millenium II AGP video card - not that it should matter). My second questions (a simple one I presume) is concerning xdm. How do I turn it on and off?
