USB mouse won't work
Hello, I have an Acer Travelmate 800 laptop, I'm running Woody, on kenel 2.6.4 and I have have problems with my USB mouse. Hotplug doesn't start it at boot time (even with /etc/init.d/hotplug restart). It is an optical mouse, so I can see that the red light remains off. This same mouse works very well on my second computer (Debian Sid, kernel 2.6.4). I don't understand why it doesn't work on my laptop. I tried "cat /dev/input/mice" and "cat /dev/psaux", but it answers only to my touchpad (synaptics, working pretty well). I have looked at the loaded modules : Module Size Used by ehci_hcd 25088 0 usbcore 101012 3 ehci_hcd soundcore 9952 0 ide_cd 39360 0 cdrom 35872 1 ide_cd ndiswrapper60792 0 ntfs 86932 0 8250 17920 0 serial_core22016 1 8250 hid is not loaded, so I did a modprobe hid,it returned no error but it still doesn't appear in my lsmod. I put hid in /etc/modules, reboot : same result. Is there another missing module ? Do I need some driver ? here is my dmesg after I boot (it seems to recognize only my touchpad): [...] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 175x65 mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1 Firmware: 5.8 180 degree mounted touchpad Sensor: 29 new absolute packet format Touchpad has extended capability bits -> 4 multi-buttons, i.e. besides standard buttons -> multifinger detection -> palm detection input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1 serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 [...] Can someone help me ?

Re: USB mouse won't work
It's probably way off base, but are you sure that you have an ehci USB bus? When troubleshooting USB on my machines I usually compile up UHCI and OHCI as modules and try each one, one at a time.

external touchscreens - for use on a laptop
Hi, this is a general question concerning touchscreens and portable laptops ... Any ideas are welcome :) I got an old Toshiba 400 portable - with a broken screen. VGA port out still works, but I'd like to experiment a bit, and I was wondering how I could hook up a touchscreen on Debian to take over all functionality of the X interface (XMMS especially, but also things like selecting files, drag and drop files, etc) Does anybody have any experience with : a) hooking up a touchscreen to a Linux laptop (probably not so different from a workstation, but since it's on a laptop, I thought it relevant to ask the question here) ? b) get the main functionality working with X - as to replace the mouse in functionality ? c) a recommendation for a model for a touchscreen ? Idealiter - I'd be hanging the portable on the wall with a WiFi card, with the touchscreen mounted on it instead of the broken LCD- as to be able to have a cheap and affordable audio streaming station for each room in my house (amplification etc would be handled by an external amplifier for each floor of my house - through the line-out of the portable) Thanks in advance :) Greetings, Frank -- --- Frank Guthorel Moriaanstraat 124 9050 Gent - Ledeberg T:09/329.49.38 - G:0495/105.776 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - www.codedor.be --- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi Marcos, to get USB 2.0 working on the Travelmate 800, you need to load both ehci and uhci modules. The USB-mouse then uses /dev/input/mice and the touchpad uses /dev/psaux. mischa -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Install Report --- Dell 8200
I lived with it for a while because I was finishing my PhD, then moving, then my wife and I had a baby... I would show you some convoluted scripts I used to get java and ant to work in the cygwin directory structure, but all those adjustmenst were wiped. I tried compiling the acx100 0.2.0pre6 tarball and not the cvs version... I also tried compiling it versus the kernel-source package without building a kernel myself from the kernel-source package. I haven't compiled a kernel since the 2.0 cycle of kernels and I have not used debian to make a kernel package, but after reading a bit about it last night it looks like it's not too difficult. After compiling the kernel, the acx100 drivers will probably work. Because we have a 4 month old and my wife is usually working when I'm at home I only have brief (30 minute to 1 hour) periods to work on the system, but I'll give it another try this weekend and see how it goes.

Re: Install Report --- Dell 8200
I've been using apm to suspend to ram and it's been working... I have not tried to suspend to disk. When the computer comes back up after being suspended often there is a flickering on the left of the screen or sometimes the whole screen is vertically offset (the lowest portion of the screen on top and the topmost below that), I usually do strl-alt-f1 and then ctrl-alt-f7 and it fixes it. I have had a problem where the lcd backlight shuts off and wont come back on when I come out of suspend, log out (and gdm restarts), or switch to a text terminal and then back to X. I had this problem under windows XP a couple times as well and am inclined to believe it's a hardware problem. The monitor always seems on the verge of going kaput on this laptop.

I have a Vaio GRT170 with a native 1400x1056(or something like that) but have not found a modline that will work beyond 1280x1024. The default X background, the little black and white dumbells, have a moire effect at that resolution showing that it's not quite matching the LCD pixels. Does this sound like a difference between the nv and the nvidia drivers? I'm using the non-free nvidia kernel driver (that has to be compiled by me but is thankfully supplied by Debian) in AGP mode and get a fast full corner-to-corner screen at least. I'd like to use the free nv driver, from an esthetic point of view. I prefer "open" source, "free" as in freedom and all that, except I bought their proprietary hardware so what's the problem using their proprietary software for it? Oh well. It's not like all the buttons and things work on this nastily proprietary Vaio.

I swore this worked after I installed knoppix 3.3 (with woody) later I upgraded to unstable/testing but did not try this Xconnection. Today I found out that the connection fails. I tried various things, create a new user, using a different window manager deleting .Xauth file etc, I am puzzled and the problem is I need this feature very much right now in order to use some X applications which I can only execute as a different user.

Failed to access the Debian archive
Hi all, I'm trying to install Debian on my asus s1300 machine, but I haven't been very lucky so far. I'm doing a net install I downloaded two days ago, I downloaded the following ISO: sarge-i386-businesscard.iso So far so good, burned it on an cd and started installing. Installation kicked of nicely, I presume it downloaded some files from the mirror I chose, and then Debian wanted to reboot. I agreed. The problem I stumbled upon a few times now, is when Debian runs for the first time, and "Configure apt " occurs. First the base system configuration claims not to be connected to the internet, which it is, no PPP or anything, just a router with DHCP enabled between my precious Asus and the rest of the world. Then when I choose my mirror to do the downloading from, he right away claims: "Failed to access the Debian archive", and further down the error message: "Temporary failure resolving "I tried several mirrors. Heck, I tried all in my country. Seems odd, since there was some downloading involved in the primary installation, before the rebooting, if I am not mistaking. A clue anyone? Any help would be very much appreciated, regards, Karel Brascamp -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Failed to access the Debian archive
Alex, thanks for your response. I tried your suggestion, the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf match the ones the router knows. Yet when I try pinging them, the response is: "connect: Network is unreachable". Same happens when I try pinging my router. nslookup seems to be an "unknown command" in this twighlight zone of the Post-Boot Base Configuration. - Original Message - From: "Alex Martin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Karel Brascamp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 9:52 PM Subject: Re: Failed to access the Debian archive > It sounds like DNS resolution is not happening.

Re: Failed to access the Debian archive
Ok, this is something I can help with. It's time to point to different servers. Go into /etc/apt/sources.list and change the names of the servers. Here's what I've got, be aware I'm running "unstable" and yours will say "sarge" === deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian-non-US/ unstable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free === You can change the country code to many different ones, with DE, UK, US, JP and such major countries as certain hits. Try a few different ones to see what's reachable for you. The way to tell if your machine is working at all is to try the following: === # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth1 default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth1 # ping 192.168.0.1 PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=250 time=2.6 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=250 time=1.9 ms === This will tell you if you have a route, if you can reach your gateway, and if your network interface is functioning. Just change the IP address to the ones that match yours. Let us know how this goes. Curt- On Thursday 22 April 2004 16:08, Karel Brascamp was heard to say: > Alex, > > thanks for your response.

USB mouse won't work
Hello, I have an Acer Travelmate 800 laptop, I'm running Woody, on kenel 2.6.4 and I have have problems with my USB mouse. Hotplug doesn't start it at boot time (even with /etc/init.d/hotplug restart). It is an optical mouse, so I can see that the red light remains off. This same mouse works very well on my second computer (Debian Sid, kernel 2.6.4). I don't understand why it doesn't work on my laptop. I tried "cat /dev/input/mice" and "cat /dev/psaux", but it answers only to my touchpad (synaptics, working pretty well). I have looked at the loaded modules : Module Size Used by ehci_hcd 25088 0 usbcore 101012 3 ehci_hcd soundcore 9952 0 ide_cd 39360 0 cdrom 35872 1 ide_cd ndiswrapper60792 0 ntfs 86932 0 8250 17920 0 serial_core22016 1 8250 hid is not loaded, so I did a modprobe hid,it returned no error but it still doesn't appear in my lsmod. I put hid in /etc/modules, reboot : same result. Is there another missing module ?

external touchscreens - for use on a laptop
Hi, this is a general question concerning touchscreens and portable laptops ... Any ideas are welcome :) I got an old Toshiba 400 portable - with a broken screen. VGA port out still works, but I'd like to experiment a bit, and I was wondering how I could hook up a touchscreen on Debian to take over all functionality of the X interface (XMMS especially, but also things like selecting files, drag and drop files, etc) Does anybody have any experience with : a) hooking up a touchscreen to a Linux laptop (probably not so different from a workstation, but since it's on a laptop, I thought it relevant to ask the question here) ? b) get the main functionality working with X - as to replace the mouse in functionality ? c) a recommendation for a model for a touchscreen ? Idealiter - I'd be hanging the portable on the wall with a WiFi card, with the touchscreen mounted on it instead of the broken LCD- as to be able to have a cheap and affordable audio streaming station for each room in my house (amplification etc would be handled by an external amplifier for each floor of my house - through the line-out of the portable) Thanks in advance :) Greetings, Frank -- --- Frank Guthorel Moriaanstraat 124 9050 Gent - Ledeberg T:09/329.49.38 - G:0495/105.776 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - www.codedor.be ---

I didn't catch the start of the thread, but if you are using a 2.6 kernel you will need mousedev and a usb mouse module (I quite forget it's name) loaded. If you use modconf (or edit /etc/modules) to add the modules you need, then they will in future be autoloaded at boot time.

Re: USB mouse won't work
Hi Marcos, to get USB 2.0 working on the Travelmate 800, you need to load both ehci and uhci modules. The USB-mouse then uses /dev/input/mice and the touchpad uses /dev/psaux. mischa

Re: Install Report --- Dell 8200
I lived with it for a while because I was finishing my PhD, then moving, then my wife and I had a baby... I would show you some convoluted scripts I used to get java and ant to work in the cygwin directory structure, but all those adjustmenst were wiped. I tried compiling the acx100 0.2.0pre6 tarball and not the cvs version... I also tried compiling it versus the kernel-source package without building a kernel myself from the kernel-source package. I haven't compiled a kernel since the 2.0 cycle of kernels and I have not used debian to make a kernel package, but after reading a bit about it last night it looks like it's not too difficult. After compiling the kernel, the acx100 drivers will probably work. Because we have a 4 month old and my wife is usually working when I'm at home I only have brief (30 minute to 1 hour) periods to work on the system, but I'll give it another try this weekend and see how it goes.

Re: Install Report --- Dell 8200
I've been using apm to suspend to ram and it's been working... I have not tried to suspend to disk. When the computer comes back up after being suspended often there is a flickering on the left of the screen or sometimes the whole screen is vertically offset (the lowest portion of the screen on top and the topmost below that), I usually do strl-alt-f1 and then ctrl-alt-f7 and it fixes it. I have had a problem where the lcd backlight shuts off and wont come back on when I come out of suspend, log out (and gdm restarts), or switch to a text terminal and then back to X. I had this problem under windows XP a couple times as well and am inclined to believe it's a hardware problem. The monitor always seems on the verge of going kaput on this laptop.

acpi on Compaq Evo
Hello, I have debian sid with 2.6.4 kernel on a compaq evo n610c. ACPI seems OK but power usage when on battery is very high, usefull battery time is at the most one hour after, while with windows XP I have up to 3 hours.

Re: Install Report --- Dell 8200
I have a Vaio GRT170 with a native 1400x1056(or something like that) but have not found a modline that will work beyond 1280x1024. The default X background, the little black and white dumbells, have a moire effect at that resolution showing that it's not quite matching the LCD pixels. Does this sound like a difference between the nv and the nvidia drivers? I'm using the non-free nvidia kernel driver (that has to be compiled by me but is thankfully supplied by Debian) in AGP mode and get a fast full corner-to-corner screen at least. I'd like to use the free nv driver, from an esthetic point of view. I prefer "open" source, "free" as in freedom and all that, except I bought their proprietary hardware so what's the problem using their proprietary software for it? Oh well. It's not like all the buttons and things work on this nastily proprietary Vaio.

can't connect to Xserver (127.0.0.1) anymore
Hello I am completely puzzled by the following: I execute as a regular user : xhost + 127.0.0.1 then say su setenv DISPLAY 127.0.0.1:0.0 (root uses tcsh shell) Then acroread But it does not work, that is the message Error: Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0 appears. I swore this worked after I installed knoppix 3.3 (with woody) later I upgraded to unstable/testing but did not try this Xconnection. Today I found out that the connection fails. I tried various things, create a new user, using a different window manager deleting .Xauth file etc, I am puzzled and the problem is I need this feature very much right now in order to use some X applications which I can only execute as a different user. Could I downgrade to woody? That would be a last desperate step before the re-installation. Thanks Uwe Brauer

Failed to access the Debian archive
Hi all, I'm trying to install Debian on my asus s1300 machine, but I haven't been very lucky so far. I'm doing a net install I downloaded two days ago, I downloaded the following ISO: sarge-i386-businesscard.iso So far so good, burned it on an cd and started installing. Installation kicked of nicely, I presume it downloaded some files from the mirror I chose, and then Debian wanted to reboot. I agreed. The problem I stumbled upon a few times now, is when Debian runs for the first time, and "Configure apt " occurs. First the base system configuration claims not to be connected to the internet, which it is, no PPP or anything, just a router with DHCP enabled between my precious Asus and the rest of the world. Then when I choose my mirror to do the downloading from, he right away claims: "Failed to access the Debian archive", and further down the error message: "Temporary failure resolving "I tried several mirrors. Heck, I tried all in my country. Seems odd, since there was some downloading involved in the primary installation, before the rebooting, if I am not mistaking. A clue anyone? Any help would be very much appreciated, regards, Karel Brascamp

Alex, thanks for your response. I tried your suggestion, the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf match the ones the router knows.

Re: Failed to access the Debian archive
Ok, this is something I can help with. It's time to point to different servers. Go into /etc/apt/sources.list and change the names of the servers. Here's what I've got, be aware I'm running "unstable" and yours will say "sarge" === deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian-non-US/ unstable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free === You can change the country code to many different ones, with DE, UK, US, JP and such major countries as certain hits. Try a few different ones to see what's reachable for you. The way to tell if your machine is working at all is to try the following: === # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth1 default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth1 # ping 192.168.0.1 PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=250 time=2.6 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=250 time=1.9 ms === This will tell you if you have a route, if you can reach your gateway, and if your network interface is functioning.
