[SLE] Mouse Driver (gpm) Error?
by hlarons＠ComCAT.COM 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

Sorry to repeat this Q, but I got no response last time, and I'm still at a loss. I get the following in my /var/log/messages: "localhost /usr/sbin/gpm[<pid>]: No data" I believe it occurs at some point after I run 'startx'. My mouse seems to work in both X and the console, so what does it all mean?

X uses its own mouse driver unless you force it to use output from gpm. Since the X driver takes over the mouse input stream, presumably gpm notices & gets upset.

Look at proxy servers - squid & wwwoffle, to cut down on bandwidth, plus firewalling to stop the script-kiddies getting in. A local Apache http server will also let you do an in-house site. AFAIK nobody has yet done a Howto on setting up a this, so it's a matter of reading the docs I'm afraid. Good luck, it sounds a very worthwhile project.

[SLE] Sax is nice, but...
by hccr＠thecity.sfsu.edu 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

I have to run sax after every boot or else the MS mouse does not respond in Xwindows, though it does work in sax. Nothing needs to be changed in sax, everything looks right, except that it always saves the mouse configuration as 3 buttons when it is actually 2 buttons. I accept the existing configuration and next, next, next..., and "save" when it goes to the test screen...then everything works fine. How to get around having to do this every time? There is a Cirque glidepad on the mouse port for use in Win98, but disconnecting it didn't seem to help. The MS mouse is on one of the com ports, which is indicated correctly in sax. I'm using SuSE 6.1. What I'd really like to do is use the Cirque device with Linux instead of the mouse. Thanks in advance for any "pointers" to a solution. More newbie questions to follow. ---------------------------------------------- Charles Rathbone San Francisco, California Voice & fax: 415-928-7347 Email: hccr(a)thecity.sfsu.edu ---------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] [OT?] Linradio experience, anyone?

Hi, I just found out that there is a Linux front-end to the WiNRADIO wide-band receivers, which can be connected to (or build into) a pc. Check out http://www.linradio.com. Is there anybody on this list that has experience with this product under Linux? I am thinking of bying the hardware, but only if it is supported by Linux.
