symclient does'nt work
Hello out there, I have some trouble with my synaptics-touchpad. To enable my symclient I startet with: synclient -h Hardware properties: Can't detect hardware properties. This is normal if you are running linux kernel 2.6. Check the kernel log for touchpad hardware information. ... so I made this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dmesg | grep touchpad 180 degree mounted touchpad I ensured that the device-nodes /dev/input/event0..3 are present. And they are in place. This could be also interesting: more /proc/bus/input/devices I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=ab41 N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" P: Phys=isa0060/serio0/input0 H: Handlers=kbd event0 B: EV=120013 B: KEY=4 200 3802078 f840d001 f2df ffef fffe B: MSC=10 B: LED=7 I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version= N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0 H: Handlers=mouse0 event1 B: EV=b B: KEY=6420 0 67 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=1103 I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c016 Version=0340 N: Name="Logitech Optical USB Mouse" P: Phys=usb-:00:03.2-2/input0 H: Handlers=mouse1 event2 B: EV=17 B: KEY=7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: REL=103 B: MSC=10 Ah yes, I use Debian Sarge with an 2.6.11-Kernel Can anybody help me?

It looks to me as though something goes wrong in the display program internally, it appears to look for a file called "x:" where the string "x:" is really meant to indicate that the image is to be grabbed rather than loaded from a file. I updated all packages just today, but the problem remains. Unfortunately, the problem persists, even after another update yesterday. So at first I would check the bug tracking system http://bugs.debian.org/imagemagick whether this is a known bug. If not I would use reportbug to report this problem. I therefore wonder which programs others use for getting screenshots. Use Gimp once you reported the bug. Kind regards Andreas. PS: What is the reason for posting this kind of questions on debian-laptop. I would call debian-user as the right list. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

have you installed the synaptics package? I got a synaptics touchpad and it never gave me any trouble...

Ok, that's a possibility, thanks... I'd prefer something simpler, though. The xwd program, recommended by Mark Janssen, sounds a bit more like the thing I look for. > PS: What is the reason for posting this kind of questions on debian-laptop. > I would call debian-user as the right list. The perhaps somewhat silly reasons is that (1) I am subscribed to this mailing list but not to debian-user and (2) I encountered this problem on my laptop while I seem to remeber that grabbing worked for me on the desktop which I had until recently.

Possible ACPI and AC adaptor problem.
In an update from the unstable repository, my computer picked up a bit of a glitch that i've had some trouble tracking down. Every 5 seconds, my computer hangs for a split second. It is most annoying because the touchpad doesn't respond and is therefore quite jumpy.I can see the glitches clearly, every 5 seconds, in my cpu and proc monitors via gkrellm. I think that the problem has to do with ACPI because the problem only occurs when the laptop is plugged into the AC adaptor. If I unplug the computer, after about 10 seconds, the glitches disappear and everything acts like it should. When the adaptor is plugged back in, the problems return. I've tried booting with pci=noacpi boot flag though and it doesn't make any difference. The glitchy behavior remains. I've also updated the BIOS thinking that this might be the source of the problem but that didn't help either. The machine is a sony vaio running a 2.6.11 custom kernel. The kernel is the same as I was using before I updated and the glitches showed up. does anyone have any ideas that I might try to solve the problem? Thanks.

So the drive identifier is /dev/sda -- derek In my experience with Debian installs on systems with IDE hdd's, I had to either re-compile my kernel to build in support for the IDE chipset, or call it in /etc/modules or I would get a kernel panic. You can try putting "ide-disk" in your /etc/modules file and see if it detects properly. I am unsure of what chipset that is running, but I have an Insp 5160 and I could pass you my .config file if you feel like you want to build a custom 2.6.x Kernel.
