Hi all,
I've got 8.0 up and running (at last) on one of my Beowulf's nodes. I've got alot of good things to say about it. But there are a couple of PIAs I need to ask about.
Now for the PIAs. First of all I can not get my mouse to work at the command line. I checked I have gpm installed. I have a PS/2 mouse. It works in Xwindows. But it seems as if YAST2 does not DO anything for gpm. Any ideas?
See if the gpm service is running on startup. As root:
chkconfig --list gpm
That will tell what runlevels will start gpm automatically. Maybe it just isn't running? Not sure about your other problems, but I would not rely too much on hotplug right now. The project is still in beta.
That was the problem gpm was not turned on at runlevel 3 & 5. I had "assume"d that when you configure it under yast that it would also turn it on. Oh well....
