Subject: Scrolling speed and mouse wheel?
Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2000 19:55:18 GMT
I have gpm and XF86configured to accept a MS PS/2 intellimouse as
3-button mouse. To my taste, however, the window scrolls too quickly per
unit turn of the wheel.
Does anybody know of a way to adjust the rate of window scrolling per
unit "spin" of the intellimouse wheel?
1) Running Kernel 2.2.16 (SuSE 7.0 Prof.)
2) In/etc/XF86.config, I have:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/psaux"
SampleRate 60
BaudRate 1200
ZAxisMapping 4 5
Buttons 3
EndSection
The Mouse I have is a Microsoft Intellimouse 1.1A PS/2 Compatible. (Two
buttons and a wheel that both spins and compresses.
Thanks,
Ken

Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2000 20:30:04 -0000
Windows 98 SE the screen that comes up & says "windows is shuting down",
well that screen never goes to "it is safe to turn off computer" I've
changed HD, Memory & also reloaded win98, that fixed it for a day. I left
it on all night with screen saver and it was locked in morning then did
hard power off and back on, ran scandisk (no problems found) but now this
shutdown screen doesn't go out. If I turn it off and back on it seems like
it was shut off properly because it does not come up and run scandisk.

Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2000 21:15:05 GMT
Please help!
I use Suse 7.0 with the Alsa sound driver for my SB compatible PCI sound
card.
When I try to play a mp3-file with mpg123 it sounds fine at first, but
when I click
another window or move some window around the sound becomes corrupt:
some
notes/drums are played twice, others are skipped, and the sound is full
of "sparkles" (don't know if that's the correct word for it, but I hope
you know what I mean)
What is going on? What can I do? When I used Redhat 6.2 and the kernel
sound driver on the same hardware this never happened.
Also, I get the following errors in the X-console:
Oct 29 23:18:10 linux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module
sound-slot-1
Oct 29 23:18:10 linux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module

I can ping within my network but I can't seem to go out to the Inet; no pings

Subject: can't connect from a WinNT to my Samba-Server
Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2000 21:45:30 GMT
Hi,
I have a big problem with Samba and WinNT. I should make a fileserver
on a new computer. After installing SuSE Linux 7.0 I started Samba.
The smb.conf file:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUPE
netbios name = SMBSERVER
browsable = yes
guest account = guest
encrypt passwords = yes
[test]
path = /temp
public = yes
The "guest" user and the directory "/temp" (chmod 777) is extant.
Testparm also doesn't show problems. I can connect to the server via
"smbclient -U% -L localhost" and the network is working fine. But when
I go to the WinNT computer and put "net view \\SMBSERVER" in, I get
the following message ( but in german, so the translation is not equal
to the message you get on an English WinNT ): "Error 5: Access
refused!". I also can't see the computer in the explorer and when I
try to connect the server with the dialog "Connect to network host:"
the computer asked me for a password and a username. But I can put all
passwords in I know ( also the root and the guest password ). I can't
connect.
Who could help me? I would be very thanksfull!

Mike has a *very* good point here. When considering an
installation of this size, think about the back-end servers
seperately from the client desktops. Microsoft marketing
would have you beleive that NT is a "one size fits all"
operating system, but we all know there's no such thing.
I'm no fan of MS products because I find they lack the
stability I desire, so I'd recommend Linux for your whole
project. BUT, given some of the constraints (such as user
familiarity with the interface, etc.) it may well be prudent
for you to deploy Windows on the client desktops and Linux
in back-end server rooms. Somebody once said that "one of
Linux's biggest advantages is its ability to communicate by
any means except smoke signals."
Linux has been developed by a diverse group of people with
diverse backgrounds to work in their diverse environments.
It, therefore, boasts interoperability that is, IMHO, second
to none. Anybody with a project of the magnitude of yours
needs to seriously consider using different operating
systems for different machines. That way the complete
package--hardware, operating system, and applications--can
be tailored to meet the demands put on it. Each operating
system has its niche; pick the one(s) that fit your needs.
That's all the input I can give you at this point.

hi,
i have been playing around with linux for quite a few months (redhat distro)
and am very impressed with what it has to offer. having a background with nt
(ie i have a mcse) one aspect i'm naturally interested is in security and
configuring users with appropriate permission and access and the way nt
presents this is quite straight forward and intuitive.
thus this brings me to my question......who can point me to a location or
document which specifies how to go about assigning file permissions,creating
users and groups etc in linux?...for example i'd like to create the
following user groups modem,printer,shutdown,ftp,cdrom,hd1,hd2 etc etc and
making each user a member of a particular group would give them the
appropriate access to a resource (as nt does with global and local
groups)...but where i start in linux is a mystery to me and i have found
very little documentation in the admin guides etc...it appears to be a bit
of a black art so far....most books tend to assume you know how to do this.

Same here, so I haven't upgraded/installed that rpm yet. In

Subject: Printing in VMware
Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2000 20:34:57 -0500
I've got my Linux box happily running Windows 2000 in a VMware window,
where it belongs. Anyway, I've been having the damndest time trying to
get my printer to work under my VM. I tried using the Configuration
Editor to configure LPT1 to be "parport0", "lp0", and various higher
numbers of both of those devices, without any luck. VMware is telling
me I don't have permission to those devices. Does anyone have any idea
why this doesn't work?

Or maybe easier, right-click the link and select "Save link as" to
download it. Equivalent to IE's "Save target as".

Options (-N date) need to come before filenames (*).

Subject: What happens to TCP/IP?
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

G'day,
I'm running Red Hat 6.2 on a small office server, and one of it's
tasks is to manage our dial-up internet connection. It's set up start
pppd and run it in the background using the demand and idle 300
options.
However, it doesn't quite do this: it dials on boot and stays
connected regardless of whether anyone is using the link. Then if I
manually hang up (ifdown ppp0), it seems to break TCP/IP somehow, so
that on redial (ifup ppp0), it will dial, and seems to log in OK (the
message log shows the reassignment of local and remote IP addresses),
but none of the clients can connect (I've tried HTTP, SMTP, POP, NNTP
and ping).
Is there a log that can show me what's happening? Has anyone seen this
kind of problem before?
