Re: [LUG] Three Questions :)



Hi Simon,

Thanks for the reply.  NFS is what I thought it would be, but I just
wanted to check :)

As for the trackpad I've currently got the XF86Config-4 with

Protocol: "IMPS/2"
Device: "/dev/psaux"

Originally the device was "/dev/mouse" but performance is the same
either way, IOW none.

There is something on this page:

http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/qsynaptics

saying it does not work with a 2.6 kernel, and suggesting adding nodes
due to a possible incomplete /dev directory.  It says to look at
proc/bus/input/devices to work out how many nodes I need.

Unfortunately I understand the words but the sentences escape me.  Could
you (or anyone) put that into English for me please?

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Julian

Network - what way - file sharing is via NFS usually, but there are

Everything says it is just a PS/2 mouse.

Sure you can probably load up the specialist synaptic drivers and the
like but start by treating it as a PS/2 mouse.

You really shouldn't have to rebuild a kernel to get a PS2 driver. You
sure it wasn't just a module that was missing? 2.6 usually uses a module
for PS/2 support.
