i'm having a bit of trouble with debian on the indy r5k with debian/testing as well. the install went just fine, and startx works properly, but the mouse doesn't. i've tried both methods detailed at http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/linux-mips/xfree86/#mouse (i.e. w/ gpm and w/o) and either way once i touch the mouse it immediately jumps in to the right corner and begins clicking. X returns the error (EE) No OS PCI support available ... the mouse works fine in the prom manager (the SGI "system maintenace" menus..) i'm stumped. --david ----- Original Message ----- From: "Guido Guenther" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Brian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 5:23 AM Subject: Re: installing woody on Indy R5000-ip22

Now, I have 28 MB for my swap partition instead of 256-512 MB. Oh, well.
