PS/2 Mouse Problem!
Hi! (Again) In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, the mouse device has been defined according to the following lines: Section InputDevice Identifier Configured Mouse Driver mouse Option CorePointer Option Device /dev/psaux Option Protocol ImPS/2 Option Emulate3Buttonstrue Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Generic Mouse Driver mouse Option SendCoreEvents true Option Device/dev/input/mice Option Protocol ImPS/2 Option Emulate3Buttonstrue Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection As you can see, the mouse protocol that X uses is ImPS/2. In X environment, mouse works not really fine! I mean when I move the mouse slowly, it works not bad, but when I move it fast, it jumps from one side to the other side of screen, unwanted clicks and undesired scrolling will be happened :( I have changed ImPS/2 to PS/2, but no good results have been got and the mouse behavior becomes really bad!! Go back to ImPS/2 ; I think that was better! Please let me know that besides PS/2, ImPS/2, autoPS/2, which kind of protocol I have to test? Until now, I have not tested autoPS/2. My mouse is PS/2 with netscrolling capability. Looking 4 your recommandations and suggestions. Regards, = Kaveh Gh. Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Need Help
During the setup phase, when you complete the initializations, the setup will issue you to reboot the system. After booting up the debian box(note that you should have configured the lilo or boot manager in a proper manner to load the debian for your box) you should see the base-config program running to complete the setup. Then follow the instrucitons. When the setup call you to run the tasksel you will see a screen loaded with several options, let you choose which one of tools you want. By selecting X and desktop environment, you will choose which one of X managers you want to load by default on boot time [gdm, xdm, kdm] you can use dselect during the setup phase of after setup, to select desired X environments[kde... ]. At any time, you can issue dselect to choose the corresponding options. Note that after, setup ,you can not login via gdm ,, by root. If you like to do so, you should edit gdm.conf and set the root user login to true. Regards, --- DaMoZ 666 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello. I have a problem.

X start-up failure!!
Dear Guys, My problem with X is that: Whenever I choose frame-buffer feature in setup phase, although the xf86config settings are ok, X won't come alive and a Fatal error related to AddScreen comes on the output console! Whenever I DO NOT choose the frame buffer, X comes up and sounds of X-start up are generated, but with no video output and the screen becomes black screen! I'm sure that all applets are running under X. For example by pressing Alt-F1 and moving through the main menu(in my imagine ;) ) and pressing enter key, the read/write LED of HDD becomes red! So, I think the problem is related to my video Adapter. My video card is NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 AGP 16MB. In all other distributions, its detected as nv RIVA TNT2 and mostly I choose its driver in xf86config as nv . I had no problem with my video card in other distros. So, what's the problem?! = Kaveh Gh. Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!

Network Adapter Problem!
Dear All, According to my previous mail, I had a problem with my LAN adapter. My problem was inability to link the corresponding module of my LAN adapter to the kernel during setup phase. Bob mailed me with too many complete recommendations! Thanks Bob! ;) Well first of all let me describe my problem: I have a D-link DFE-530TX+ Fast 10/100 Mbps PCI LAN Adapter. The manufacture sells the adapter with a CD holds corresponding drivers. The driver used for Linux is: ¡§RTL8139¡¨ this file is a C++ code. Bob had told me to try 8139too.o but according to my experiences with FreeBSD, Slackware, Redhat, and Mandrake linuxes, all these distributions had detected my adapter as Via-Rhine III type! I have taken a deep look again and I became sure that those ones have detected my adapter as Via-Rhine. Last night, I had fired up the setup again with bf24 kernel and wanted to follow the instructions recommended by Dear Bob. There was no 8139too module for inclusion! Then I¡¦ve tried Linux (default), Vanilla, and compact ones; All of them had the 8139too module (Good 4 me) but unable to link it to the kernel!! When I had selected the module for inclusion, the setup issued this message: ¡§Please specify any command-line parameters needed for this module. In most cases, you do not need to enter any parameter and the default ones work fine.¡¨ And with a field, that was available for me to enter any needed parameter(s). Without any command-line or parameter(s), the following results obtained: ¡§../lib/modules/2.2.20-compact/net/8139too.o : init-module : Device or resource busy. Hint : insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters ../lib/modules/2.2.20-comact/net/8139too.o : failed. Installation failed¡K Press ENTER to exit!¡¨ I had tested other modules. I¡¦ve found that for some of them, the setup assumes some preset-configuration-settings for IRQ and IO address. For example, for some of them, before linking, setup issues: ¡§ IRQ = 9 IO = 0xdc00 ¡K. ¡§ And for some of them: ¡§ IRQ = 0 IO = 0 .. ¡§ Then I had tried entering my desired setting, so in the available field, I have entered: ¡§ irq=9 io=0xdc00 ¡§ but no good result obtained!! ¼ Again the error messages appeared with this additional one: ¡§ invalid parm_irq ¡§ . Now I¡¦m sure that the problem with linking the 8139too.o module to the kernel is caused by IRQ or IO addresses!! I think If I can resolve this problem, both ¡§8139too¡¨ (Bob¡¦s recommendation) and ¡§Via-Rhine III¡¨ modules will work fine. Now, I need your help and I¡¦m looking 4 your recommendations. = Kaveh Gh. Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!
