Got 2 questions

[Viper_Maniac]

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.

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......

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.

No I didnt set up urpmi. I was trying to setup guarddog before I setup my internet connection.

 

Thanks. I'll do that. :)

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!

[inflexion]

post up your error messages mate that will shead some light on it :)

[Viper_Maniac]

Well it starts up and takes me to a command prompt like this:

 

localhost login:

 

No matter whether I login as root or as me it gives me this:

to make sure that you have the latest version.

[bvc]

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

[Viper_Maniac]

So how do I do that from the prompt?

[bvc]

use vi or nano...I use vi

 

vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

 

press

i

for 'insert'

<edit the file>

 

the press

Esc

:

wq

and press

Enter

to write and quit the file
