Mouse Failure in X

1998-04-16 Thread Christopher J. McNicholas
Hi!
I'm using a Mouse Systems serial mouse.
When I startx, twm starts up fine, but as soon as I touch the mouse, 
it disappears and I can see a little activity in the lower left 
corner of the screen (the entire virtual desktop panned as though I 
moved the mouse down there) However, the cursor seems to be stuck in 
the corner. Clicking and moving doesn't do anything. X is *not* 
locked up however, the focus is still on the login xterm, so exit 
works to get out. No error messages are reported when I'm out of X.
What do I need to do to get unstuck?
This is my current config:

Section Pointer
ProtocolMouseSystems
Device  /dev/ttyS0
Emulate3Buttons
Emulate3Timeout 50
EndSection

X cursor crapped out

1998-04-11 Thread Christopher J. McNicholas
Hi!

I put a new video card in and was playing around with the settings. I 
locked up X about three timesso bad that I had to tap the reset 
button on my PC. I now have the correct settings, but my cursor is 
shot. Instead of the little X, I now get a handful of dark colored 
pixels scattered in a little clump on the screen. I can still *use* 
the cursor, I just can't be sure of exactly where it's pointing!
Is there a file I can replace to fix this? Or do I have to reinstall 
X again? I have a feeling I corrupted it during the fiasco.

gdk-imlibg

1998-04-08 Thread Christopher J. McNicholas
Does anyone know where I can find the binaries of gdk-imlibg and
gdk-imlibg-dev?

I downloaded the Enlightenment .13 binary and imlib1g from a Japanese 
site during a severe net dredge for Enlightenment. Everything is 
working fine right now, but to install imlibg, I had to remove the 
old imlib1, -dev, and gdk files due to conflict issues. I'm worried 
that I may run into problems later now that I removed them.

Re: libXmu.so.6 ....THANK you

Thank you Mr. Elphick.
All I needed to do was install xlib6

It's always the simple things that inconvenience you, isn't it.

Xlib6g conflicts with X Win 3.3.2?

1998-04-06 Thread Christopher J. McNicholas
I installed a bunch of packages this weekend. Among them was Xlib6g.
Now when I try to start X, I get the message:

Can't load library libXmu.so.6

What do I need to do to get X running again?

giflib3g PLEASE?

1998-04-04 Thread Christopher J. McNicholas
Can someone *please* tell me where to find giflib3g or a suitable 
replacement? several packages refer to it as a depend, and I can't 
find it or something that will provide it.

libXmu.so.6 error?

1998-04-04 Thread Christopher J. McNicholas
After I installed xlib6g, I get an error trying to startx:

can't load library libXmu.so.6

I reinstalled X332lib.tgz, but still no good. I peeked in the lib 
directory and found these:

libXmu.a
libXmu.so
libXmu.so.6
libXmu.so.6.0

What should I do to fix X?

Where is giflib3g and -dev ?

1998-04-02 Thread Christopher J. McNicholas
Hey folks.
I'm having a *major* problem locating giflib3g and giflib3g-dev. Does 
anyone know where they might be located? I see those particular files 
listed as depends on some descriptions in the Packages file, but the 
actual file is not listed in Packages..

Imlib compilation error

1998-03-29 Thread Christopher J. McNicholas
First I would like to extend a thanks to all of you who helped me 
with my imake madness problem. Since then, I have installed the GNU 
autoconf in the hopes that *it* might work.
At this time, I am having problems at the gdk_imlib make install.
I get the following two error messages:

gdk_imlib_types.h:7: gdk/gdk.h : No such file or directory
gdk_imlib_types.h:8: gdk/gdkprivate.h: No such file or directory
make : *** [cache.o] Error 1


Does anyone have any idea what I need to do?

imake madness

1998-03-28 Thread Christopher J. McNicholas
I need help...again.

I'm trying to get the enlightenment window manager on my box. I 
followed the instructions for installing ImageMagick and I made sure 
imake was installed (came with X 3.3). Next step was supposed to be 
imlib. imlib does not come as a binary, so I have to compile it. 
Here's where it gets messy...
I untarred the file into /usr/local/src ( had to mkdir the src 
directory). Then I ran   xmkmf -a   (this is the second time)  
instead of moving on to the make  part, I got the following message:

mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
imake : No such file or directory
imake : Cannot exec /lib/cpp.
Stop.
imake : Exit code 1.
Stop.

(BTW, I'm using gcc)

What's wrong with my setup??

Re: imake madness

1998-03-28 Thread Christopher J. McNicholas
In regards to an earlier post I downloaded and installed a C 
interpreter.
Now I get  messages indicating several missing includes such as:

/usr/include/sys/time.h:6: linux/time.h: No such file or directory


However, when I look in /usr/include/sys, there *is* a time.h file.
But what the hell is linux/time.h referring to?!?!

embarassing X questions

1998-03-27 Thread Christopher J. McNicholas
Good evening folks!

I have 3 questions that I don't see really covered in my X book.

1) Is there somewhere I can read up on the different types of windows 
managers?

2) I loaded X without a windows manager installed. I can move my 
mouse around, but that's about it, no menus or anything. I switched 
VCs just to make sure I wasn't locked up :-).. The question is..how 
do I properly close out of X without a windows manager?

3) After X loads up, my screen is shifted one character to the left, 
wrapping to the right hand side of the screen...what's that all 
about? I'm forced to reboot to straighten it out!

More embarassing X questions

1998-03-27 Thread Christopher J. McNicholas
Actually, I have a slight correction :-)

I rebooted and got the unable to find usable termcap entry error 
again. I had mentioned in a previous post that all I could find was a 
terminfo directory. Do I need to create a link to a file in this 
directory? And if so, what would it be?
