83mercedes Posted September 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 If you have a usb mouse, during the install, there is a place where you can select different modules to load, and one of them is for that, seems to me it was LAST one on the list.??

bvc Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 What's wrong with X? Do you have an nvidia card? Is the kernel-source uncompressed, and the kernel-headers installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 We covered USB mice on page 1 of this thread. We covered kernel compilation and installation no page 2 of this thread. We covered problems with the NVidia drivers finding the kernel source on pages 5 and 6 of this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOlson Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 After 10 pages, I forget what we went over. Yeah, but there isn't any sense repeating anything. :) We can work on new problems, but we're wasting time fixing old ones again. So, I'm waiting for something new. Bring it.

Gowator Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 DOlsen, I agree on not repeating ... at least till its resolved ... The problem is it keeps doing 'unexpected' things. I know what mercedes meant ... I feel so special that when I do something it seems to work but the results are different ... ahem.... Its mainly just unfamiliararity... I intend to use the link from cyberjakl ... Interesting discussion follows the link ... i.e. idiots guide vs 'yeah just apt-get it and then do the dkpg thing' Currently you Debianer's are speaking Debianeze ... Im sure Ill pick up this new language... :wink: but at the moment the sentences lack basic elements (like subject, object, verb) It appears a very flexible language.... APT seems reminicent of an $EXPLITIVE. IE Its a noun, verb, adverb, adjective and even a preposition... I might start off with a new download... my starting point was Debian 3 .. The main prob is the whole PC is screwy... its a new one with the nfoce chipset for the sound/network etc. I still need to recompile MDK... currently the nforce drivers won't work with the enterprise kernel due to a change in the Makefile rules... about where the headers go. They work however with the vanilla MDK.. but then I loose memory above 868MB or thereabouts! Its been challenging enough working round this in MDK... and the NIC driver is pretty fundamental to the apt-get. :!: I might just stick it on another PC .... ahhh.
