Hello.
I've just installed Debian Potato (grabbed the ISO images from linuxiso.org)
on my 2000 Powerbook Pismo and so far everything is great except:
I installed X windows and the Afterstep WM and can't get the trackpad to do
anything. I get an Afterstep login screen and the mouse pointer in the dead
center of the screen but can't move it an inch.
I've tried playing with the /etc/X11/XF86Config file and have managed to get
X to die during launch (which is not much of an improvement ;-)
So a couple of questions:
How do I stop X from launching at boot time - I tried removing it from my
/etc/inittab file but it wasn't there to remove...
And how do I get the pismo trackpad to work? Here's a snippet from my
XF86Config:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/usbmouse"
/* blah blah blah */
EndSection
And here's how startx responds to that:
(after all the usual x related messages)
Fatal server error:
Cannot open mouse (No such device)
If I try to 'cat /dev/usbmouse' I get:
cat: /dev/usbmouse: No such device
But I know full well /dev/usbmouse is there:
ls -la /dev/usbmouse
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 32 Nov 22 12:03 /dev/usbmouse
Which makes me wonder that the trackpad isn't a usbmouse at all... (although
if I plug a usbmouse in the back of the laptop I still get the same errors -
so much for deductive reasoning)
Can anyone tell me what I should be doing???
And one final quick question - anyone got debian working on a Titanium
Powerbook yet?
Jon.
