Ok, I think I can help on items 2 & 3. (2) The mouse config, under Redhat (and hopefully) Suse is /etc/sysconfig/mouse. In there, you should find a line and change it to: XEMU3=yes
I would assume, you'll need to restart the gpm server (/etc/init.d/gpm restart) (3) Yeah, keep me posted on your progress - <plug> I'm always finding it difficult to advertise my linux skills to possible clientele.

(out of 3) I am running Linux on the SuSE 7.3 distro install. (BTW for a newbie the SuSE install is pretty slick. Previously I had istalled RH 7.1. I found this very educational and learnt how to partition using fips, and install a dual boot. Then my el cheapo crappo hard disk died I had to re-install and decided to try SuSE. This time I decided to stuff MS off altogether so no MS partition/dual boot. :-) the SuSE install has default partitioning is a nice integration. ) Anyway... I also got an Askey Magic TvView TV card (CPHO51 TV+FM Tuner Card). My old TV also died. (I choose not to dwell on these events at any metaphorical or other level) Not being a shell Linux command guru though keenly aspirational I am using SuSE's YAST2. It identified my TV Card, no problem and I configured it for PAL -BG as per instructions for Australia set up. When I open motv in a shell I get no picture or fuzz or anythng at all and the shell says this: motv This is motv-3.61, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.10-4gb) Warning: Actions not found: Remote Warning: Actions not found: Remote Segmentation fault and after a station scan it closes out of motv Xconsole says Date kernel: bttv0:PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 ... ok Date kernel: tuner: TV freq (o.6) out of range (44-958) Date kernel: tuner: tuner type not set Date kernel: tuner: tuner type not set Date kernel: linux last message repeated 52 times In station scan mode the Xconsole spits out alot of "out of range" messages. The MagicTVView has an infra red remote. I have tried pressing the power button and retrying motv but still get the same result. Nothing at all happens. Your help would be greatly appreciated. - 2. The other thing is the mouse in SuSE. With my RE 7.1 install the mouse acted like a 3 button one and cut and paste from a console to anywhere was a sinch but sadly SuSE mouse config didn't (so far as I could see) offer this. Can anyone tell me how to either re-config my PS/2 mouse to get the 3 Button simulation happening or alternatively explain a method of copying and pasting from console to whatever. 3. Lastly I am in the process (SLOW STEEP) of setting up a site as a means of getting the legal profession (or such of it as has some sense) to move from MS to Linux and at the same time to get some of them to capture a bit of the spirit of Jessica Litman and Lawrence Lessig and ofcourse (Richard Stallman, Linux Torvalds sine qua non) and get behind the GNU/Linux Open Source and do a bit of soul searching on the ridiculous new copyright, privacy, censorship, trade practice, broadcasting and international treaty (WTO, GATT, G8, World Copyright Convention) kind of stuff. As well as general info and specific assist set up advice info and links I want to set up tech support by either links to other sites (SLUG) which I do with first conferring consulting informing exchanging thoroughly with such sites. If you get work installing Linux and setting up systems out of that then great. Then and/or/possibly/eventually (demand permitting) have a tech assist list on the site itself. For now what are peoples thoughts? Would anyone like me to keep you posted on progress? If there is enough interest I might just post progress to Grrltalk. My background and interest in all this is as an Intellectual Property Lawyer. Please note that I am not ambulance chasing or trying to network for clients. I do alot of pro bono stuff in Arts and Media and have a conscience. For me it is a persoanl/political thing. I am disgusted at what is happeinig with Copyright Laws in Aust (which ftmp are a copy of the US DMCA sadly) and the Media Oligop in Aust is very much driving IP and Broadcasting policy. My practice covers small independent companies and individuals many are having trouble with rising restrictions on access to "Works" "Subject Matter Other Than Works" not to mention TV and Radio and Cable and Copper Wire bandwidth. Some of you may be familiar with our Productivity Commission which has only resulted in reserving TV for existing commercial players. I could go on but if any of you have read Jessica Litmans's Digital Copyright or Lawrence Lessig's Code and/or Future of Ideas books you can with a few exceptions say ditto for here in Aust. I hope to hear from some of you. Thanks, Raena -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
