Viper_Maniac Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 1st: I tried to install Guarddog 2.4 a few minutes ago but I couldnt install it. I tried doing the rpm version and after I clicked on the file it said something like "Do you want to install or save it?". I said install it and then it popped up asking about dependecies. I said ok. Then it said: Please insert the medium named "Installation CD 1" on device [/dev/hdc]. I put Mandrake 10.1 CD 1 in my cdrom and click ok but the message comes back up. Whats going on here? 2nd: I'm trying to change my mouse type but it refuses to accept it. I go into MCC and to hardware. I go under mouse and it says its a universal ps2/usb mouse or something like that. I want to change it to USB/Generic 3 button mouse with wheel emulation. It just wont accept it so I say again, Whats going on here? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I am using GuardDog 2.3.2. It is working fine on MDK 10.0. Give it a try instead? Regarding your mouse. You can manually edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to change the mouse description. Unfortunately, you need someone more knowledgable than me to tell you what to change it to Try googling for more information...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Have you set up urpmi using easyurpmi (google for it)? It will pull the dependencies in for you from a web source if you want. From my xorg.conf Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection Thats for a usb mouse with two buttons and a clickable scroll wheel. Clicking left and right buttons also emulates a 3 button mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper_Maniac Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Ok it decided to install guarddog with me not doing anything different. I'm happy to install my first program. I was also able to install rp-pppoe with no troubles although I dont know how to use it. But right now I have a big problem. I went to edit the xorg.conf file to change the mouse. Now it wont boot into KDE (aka x server). HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 you see "Configured Mouse" in my ServerLayout? Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" EndSection I have to have that in my "InputDevice" Section Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection so you need to make sure you have "Mouse1" in your "InputDevice" Section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
