I just finished reading the archives again. I'm trying to get my Micro Innovations wireless USB wheel mouse working. When I cat /dev/input/mice I get the expected junk whenever I move the mouse, click buttons, etc. When I change the link for /dev/mouse to point to /dev/input/mice and run startx, X doesn't recognize any mouse events. Is there a place to change the mouse X expects to use? I read somewhere that this isn't the normal XFree86 and that it is picky about certain things. I looked for an XF86Config file and didn't see one, so I assume it is a specialized version of X. If I don't change the link for /dev/mouse, X reads events from the built-in touch pad just fine. The touch pad is a pain, however, as every time i type, my palm brushes against it, sending the mouse all over the place and causing general havok. I still haven't gotten networking to work either, but I have determined that the correct driver is the natsemi.o provided. I think it's a problem with either a) discover, b) dhcp tools, or c) trivial-net-setup. I noticed that there are modules hard coded into the trivial-net-setup script and that the natsemi.o isn't one of them. It probably isn't the problem, but I thought I'd ask. Finally, I wanted to mention that the Lexar JumpDrive Trio (uses SD, MMC, and Memory Stick) USB drive works fine. I was able to mount my 64M SD under /dev/sda1 without a snag. :) It's a nice cheap drive for anyone interested. I'll work on narrowing down my networking issue and see if I can get it to work. If I can, I can set up a GAR build system on my SD and build my own custom Lnx-BBC disk. (It'd be nice to have an IRC client of some sort on the disk, but space is a premium.) Thanks for any help and suggestions. Stefan __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - File online, calculators, forms, and more http://tax.yahoo.com
