Hi,
I have just upgraded my linux box to use kernel 2.4.1. I have redhat 7.0
installed on it. My poblem is with my USB mouse. Initially(when I first
installed RedHat) my USB mouse was picked up fine and I could use it in X
and with gpm. I downloaded the kernel sources and compiled a new kernel with
(as far as I could see) all of the correct USB
options(Documentatiion/usb/input). However I can't seem to be able to get my
mouse working. The /dev/input/ entries are all present with the correct
major and minor numbers. But when I try to use gpm or X with the
/dev/input/mice device - nothing happens, the mouse remains not working. I
have USB enabled in the BIOS. The mouse is a Microsoft Intelimouse (USB).
Even when I revert back to the original kernel the mouse is not picked up
(by kudzu). I am at a loss of how I should proceed!
I hope someone could help me. I have pasted the boot-up log after the
message as it seems to find some sort of error with the USB stuff.
Thanks,
Mark

Are you sure that you have put the hard-drive onto the first IDE channell.
Linux won't be able to detect your hard-drive if it is on the third or
fourth chanells except with a kernel recompile. Also is your board RAID
enabled? If so make sure that you configure the correct harddrive to be your
boot harddrive.

Subject: connect, but unable to browse
Date: Sun, 18 Feb 2001 16:40:30 GMT
Heres my problem, I cant browse or ping or traceroute or perform any other
network tasks. I am running Redhat 5.2 with an external modem on the serial
port. I first launch startx (afterstep) and open minicom, it initializes the
modem. Then I 'ctrl-z' d to dial. It dials and say I am connected at 49333,
press any key to continue.
It then displays:
'UQKT2 tnt15.dfw5.da.uu.net' and gives me a login prompt. (I dont know why
it does this, as I have supplied my username and password in the dial
setup). I enter my username & pass, it then displays: Entering PPP Session.
IP address is 63.16.56.145 (yes it is different every time). MTU is 1524. I
have then opened netscape. When I type www.earthlink.net it says it has no
DNS entry. It also mentions setting the $SOCKS_NS env. var. to point at
appropriate nameserver. If I just enter earthlinks IP address
(207.217.120.83) it says: Network Error: TCP Error: Network is unreachable.
If I open an Xterm window and ping it says:
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable.
My resolv.conf file looks like this:
search
nameserver 207.217.77.82
nameserver 207.217.120.83
nameserver 207.217.126.81
Those are the correct DNS numbers for earthlink.
What am I doing wrong here? I have never gotten my linux box connected to
the net, so treat me as a dumbass newbie and offer you answer in very simple
and descriptive terms. Dont assume that I know what you are referring to.
PLEASE!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Dave

Why do you use such an acient distro, I don't know about RH, but I have SuSE
4.2 lying
around here, it was their first distro (1996) and today 7.1 is available and I
have heard from RH 7.0?

Since you're on dialup with dynamic IP, this is expected.

Do they run http on their DNS?

Sounds like a routing problem.
But it would be really better, if you get a new distro, installation and
automagically setup
have made great progress in the last years.
Thinking about security, you should be lucky that your box is offline.

Date: Sun, 18 Feb 2001 10:15:42 -0700
I just retried the installation using the "custom" mode, which allowed
me to create a boot floppy and control disk partition sizes. I accepted
the default /dev/hda size of ~450mB and created a boot floppy as
well. I still can't boot off the hard disk but *can* boot off the floppy.
X isn't working yet (I think I am using an unsupported card) but at
least I have got something going now.
So, it *does* seem to be a boot loader problem, but I'm still too
ignorant to understand how to address it so I can boot from the
hard disk. Advice would be appreciated!

Probably because pppd is not started on your end yet. The minicom program
is for doing a SHELL login, not ppp. Although, there is some way to
suspend minicom and return to the terminal to start pppd when you see the
garbage characters, I have never tried that.
Instead use linuxconf (or netcfg in X) as root to set up a ppp connection
using PAP authentication. That usually works for most ISP's. If you need
a login script, instead, just set that up based on what you saw in
minicom. If you want to be able to start that ppp connection as a normal
user, don't forget to check that box.
BTW, it is best to select the actual ttyS# (like /dev/ttyS0). Although,
as long as /dev/modem is symlinked to the proper device, you could use
that if you never intend to use mgetty for dialin. You should get out of
the habit of using cua devices because they were eliminated from newer
Linux versions.

David, Thanks for taking the time to respond. After reading your post
I went over to another computer which by chance happens to be running
Mandrake 7.0 and found that both aumix and kmix do indeed see even
integrated sound with bass and treble. Red Hat 7 identifies the card
as an Ensoniq 1371 using sndconfig which I believe should be the
correct driver for the card (Creative Soundblaster PCI 16 OEM). I
don't know whether these are the ALSA drivers or not. At any rate the
bass and treble controls definitely do not show up. I tried to force
aumix with the --b option to no avail. I'm not sure if the integrated
sound can be disabled on the Mandrake machine and would prefer not to
mess with it at this point since I haven't configured it for a while.
Of course, this would be the best way to isolate the card and make
sure that it is or is not at least part of the problem. However, I
have been thinking that it might be better if I switched the card to a
"Soundblaster Live" and see what happens. Strange that such problems
still exist with such a well know card. No idea what's going on but I
have read several usenet messages mentioning the lack of bass and
treble controls with soundblaster cards (?). Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Thanks, that was the required setting. I'd tried a lot of the available
mouse types, but I think I must have ignored that one because I thought the
presence of a baud rate option meant that it was a serial mouse. Your
symptoms didn't sound the same, so I didn't start Linux again to try it.
I'm just hoping now that the configuration program become less reliant on
user knowledge in future. As my mouse didn't come with any documentation,
and the only thing on it that might be able to be used to identify the
appropriate driver was a serial code, being able to configure my computer
without going through a process of trial and error to find out what works
would definitely be useful.
