Hi! [reformated to <80 Chars/line] Trying to kill the keyboard, eramunds@online.no produced:
Please help a beginner at linux.
I installed the suse linux and i can get xf86setup running thru yast, but my mouse does not work att all. after a while the box locks up and i have to "cntr - alt - del" to get it running again.
In win95 my mouse is placed under com1, irc 4 and it's a serial microsoft mouse 2 button. Anyone have a clue?
Well, 1. please keep the line length to <80 chars. If your software does not give you a way to check that properly, dump it, it makes you look not considerable towards others. 2. Did you finish the installation of X? 3. Did you experiment with the different possibilities offered for mice? (You can use the keyboard ... even if the mouse does not work. Both in xf86config (just use the shortcuts and TAB) and with X (Shift+cursor-keys, Shift+Alt+cursor-keys)). 4. You want a 3-button-mouse. You really do. 5. com1 translates to cua0 6. Is gpm running, perhaps? Does your mouse work on the console? 7. Unluckily my mindreading skills are bad, what graphics card are you using, you said? And does it work with X? 8. So what is /var/log/messages saying about the 'crash' (I think at worst you managed to get your keyboard info garbled, but you'd still be able to telnet in if you had the network and a terminal to do so.) 9. You hopefully did install the howtos ... have a look at them in /usr/doc/howto. 10.You did look at the SDB? Lynx does work well from a text-console, too, you know. -Wolfgang -- PGP 2 welcome: Mail me, subject "send PGP-key". If you've nothing at all to hide, you must be boring.

I am having a mouse / com port problem also. Am running SuSE 5.1 with a clone MB. After initial boot and after switching between graphics and text modes, I loose the mouse. Disconnecting and re-connecting the mouse at the port seems to correct it. I have tried various BIOS config's concerning PnP, changing the physical port to logical COM2, etc. Also using a MS 2 button mouse. My guess is that it is more the fault of the MB UART than anything else, but I thought I'd throw it out to see if this sounds familiar to anyone else. On Mon, 8 Jun 1998, Wolfgang Weisselberg wrote:
