dear all,
back on the grind after a week. so this in continuation of the suspended
in mid-air thread of a serial mouse on a workstation that does not work.
(surprisingly, the archives do not show the last week's archives onwards).
according to the tips i received last week, have done the following steps:
1) have put the following in my ltsp.conf
[ws001]
RUNLEVEL =3
#X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL="Auto"
#X_MOUSE_DEVICE = "/dev/psaux"
#X_MOUSE_DEVICE ="/dev/input/mice"
2) booted ws001
3) checked that 'ls -l /dev/psaux' linked to /dev/misc/psaux'. it did.
4) checked that 'ls -l /dev/misc/psaux' was a character device with major
10, minor 1 ('crw-r----- 1 0 0 10, 1 psaux'). however, must add that in
this line, it showed the date at something set to 1970, which i suppose
wouldn't really effect the mouse's functioning.
5) was asked to look at /tmp/XF86Config, in particular at the part that
starts :
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier"Mouse0"
Noted that *no such section existed* in the XF86Config.
however, what i did find was the following section:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "Auto"
Device "/dev/psaux"
Resolution 400
Buttons 3
BaudRate 1200
AlwaysCore
ZAxisMapping 4 5
6) then i ran /tmp/start_ws
i received the following message:
xf86SetupMouse: Cannot determine the mouse protocol.
7) in ltsp.conf, i then commented out X_MOUSE_DEVICE = "/dev/psaux" line,
and uncommented the line X_MOUSE_DEVICE = "/dev/input/mice". then i
rebooted ws001.
8) re-ran thru the steps 3), 4), 5), which gave identical reports, except
in step 5) where naturally, the X_MOUSE_DEVICE ="dev/input/mice".
9) ran /tmp/start_ws. this time i got the following message
Fatal Server Error:
Cannot open mouse. (No such file or directory).
two urgent words to the ltsp community:
"Please Help!"
thanks
:-)
