Hi, I'm still trying to sort out my mouse under xwindows. I have a
350mhz G4, with
a G3 USB mouse. I've installed everything fine, including the new kernel (later
than the one that came with champion server 1.1). I read the
instructions on the
yellowdoglinux website about the problem with the USB mouse, and I downloaded
mouseconfig 4.0-1a.ppc.rpm
(ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/software/mouseconfig/mouseconfig-4.0-1a.ppc.rpm)
to a zip disk,. I then booted into linux, mounted the zip disk, and ran this:
rpm -i mouseconfig-4.0-1a.ppc.rpm
I think it installed it, but yet when I go into xwindows I still can't
move my
mouse.(incidentally, it starts up Gnome and Enlightenment. it used to
start up KDE
when it was set to start automatically). Does anyone know whether I am doing
something wrong? How does mouseconfig change the kernel, when the kernel
is in my
Mac OS (9-hfs+) partition?Could it be that I am using a G3 USB mouse?
Any help is
much appreciated. Tom.
