You could try to use /dev/null as the mouse pointer.... sax2 -n /dev/null Or if you know where/what the real node would be, use that. There is an option for USB mouse. Don't know if it plain or Intellemouse, but any usb mouse would/should work. If it failed a detection previously, you could try to force new detection. sax2 -r I've used dual-headed nVidia cards for all my dual setups since SuSE 6.3, but if I remember correctly, your going to need to know the PCI bus address for each card to tell X about. Plus, if it didn't come originally, you may need to tell the BIOS to use the on-board card because most BIOS's will disable the on-board card if it sees a separate one. Especially if the add-on card is also AGP. (The on-board is most likely to to be AGP and you can only have one AGP device) hope this helps B-) On Tuesday 12 April 2005 11:27 am, Brad Bendily wrote:
I had dual monitors working in SuSe 9.1. It was great. I just bought a new Dell Optiplex GX 280. It has 8 USB ports and NO PS/2 ports.
When I run sax2 from the command line it dies with: SaX: initializing please wait... sh: line 1: 6570 Aborted /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/sysp.pl -s server -C all -M none -A no Died at /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/init.pl line 748.
The line above 748 is if ($haveServer == 1) {EnableMouse(); } So, as best as I can tell it's trying to enable the mouse in sax2 and when it doesn't work then sax2 init.pl dies. So I thought i'd just uncomment that die line. Well then it dies on the next "EnableMouse" command.
Part of the problem could be that my mouse is not configured/labled correclty. I have an optical logitech cordless USB mouse. In YAST there is no option for the logitech USB mouse.
When I use YAST to try to configure my video cards it just doesn't do anything. It will probe and show me only one vid card, not the other, and will not let me configure the card.
I've done a fresh install of SuSe 9.2 and run YOU. But still the same problem.
Any ideas? Thanks -- Brad B
