Then you should adapt your /etc/X11/xf86config file to look as follows in the 'Input device' section: Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "ButtonNumber" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "InputFashion" "Mouse" Option "Name" "Autodetection" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Should work that way ===== Cheers ...

Mouse pointer missing 7.3 KDE 2.
by Time To Paws 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Hey all... I had to re-install 7.3 and all, mostly because I set DSL up wrong, well I got the dsl going and can access the internet. So I did a update the system through yast2. As far as I can tell everything went ok during the update. But when I rebooted my SUB (Kensington) mouse pointer became a block of white. It still works but it is annoying. When I did a search on what might have gone wrong, it said I had to add 'Option sw_' under device so I did, and no change. I also updated the drivers for my graphics card (tnt nvidia) but still no pointer.. Any ideas????? Adolph & Sharon Weidanz S/V Time To Paws 78 43' Endeavour

Universal Global Variables for Socksing
by Carl A. Cook 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . Hello list, I am setting up to Socks through a firewall. To do this I need to set two environment variables and run a daemon. The daemon will then capture every connect() from any process and route it properly. Problem is, I need to turn this on and off dynamically. When I run my script, the env variables are exported, and thus are only visible in processes started *after* invocation. But I need them to be visible to EXISTING processes as well, and they are not. If I set these on startup, all processes do see them, but not when I turn off the variables. So, no dynamic control. I'm hoping there are uber-variables, or a variable area that *existing* processes would see when one is added.

mozilla source question
by Keith Winston 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

I know this is not the right list for this, and I don't really expect anyone to know this, but you never know... I am trying to build a semi-secure version of mozilla for use in a kiosk. I have the SuSE 0.9.8 source and I want to disable the right mouse button completely. In the /BUILD/mozilla/embedding/browser/photon/src/PtMozilla.cpp file, I found a header reference called nsIDOMMouseEvent.h, but I can't find it anywhere in the source tree. Does anyone know where this file is or where I should look for right mouse button methods? Mozilla is a beast. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MSCE, N+ you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one Got spam? Get SPASTIC http://spastic.sourceforge.net

xset/turning off laptop's backlight
by Eric Pierce 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Howdy all. I'm trying to get my laptop monitor's backlight to go off, and eventually set it up so it does so automatically (after a prescribed time). I've tried the following 3 commands, but they all do the same thing which is blank the screen only (i.e., the backlight is still on). xset dpms force standby xset dpms force suspend xset dpms force off If I do 'apm -S' the backlight does go off, but the harddrive spins down as well (not quite what I'm after here). Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks for any help, Eric __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Questions about SuSE 8.0
by Martin Jackson 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Hi everyone, I have been a SuSE user on and off since 6.4, so I am familiar with the admnistrative tools and so on. I really appreciate SuSE's leadership in making things like LVM and USB available before other distributors do. I have a couple of questions about 8.0: 1) Is a browseable package list going to be released for 8.0? If so, when? 2) Does 8.0 include PostgreSQL 7.2? 3) Is there any facility to start fetchmail in daemon mode at boot time in 8.0? Thanks, Marty
