Hi all,
First of all I have to thanks dams for the new (semi;)working DrakConf,
I was starting to belive that will never work again !!!
Then let's go to business:
If you remember I've reported that gpm in text consoles when X is
started goes completly crazy with a M$ wheel mouse ( Trekker), this did
not happened with a standard 2 button PS2 mouse and only happen when
imwheel and X are running. After I changed the device gpm was using from
psaux to mouse everything went super OK, the strange problem is that
they are symlinks to the same devfs device like that:
/dev/mouse is pointing to /dev/misc/psaux ( full path)
/dev/psaux is pointing to misc/psaux
I've changed /dev/psaux to the same link as /dev/mouse and tested, gpm
was ok, but unfortunately after reboot someone (devfs ???) change it
back to the old link and was not working anymore :(, what I want to know
is where you configure those links and propose to change that to full
path as /dev/mouse.
The reboot bringed up a very old weirdness, after each glibc update the
filesystem remaine screwed up a little and was picked by e2fschek that
found a lot of (non-lethal) troubles, is that normal as a result of
glibc update or is a bug ????
And at last, I rebooted in graphical mode first time after update (BTW
the new LILO menu is quite nice :) and Aurora prompt me if I want to
fscheck the fs with prompt like yn ( no, not y/n as usual), no matter
what key I pressed ( even Ctrl-Alt_Del ) it didn't go further, had to
use the reset button and boot in console image that fschecked OK and
then rebooting with graphical stuff was OK.
That's it for today, thank you and keep up the good work.
Mircea C.
