keyboard not working under X

2001-04-13 Thread Stephen Judd
I have a Pismo that was running more-or-less vanilla testing, and I added Bastien's Ximian packages to my apt sources. Now it boots, gets as far as the Ximian login dialogue, and then the keyboard stops working. I can't log in, and because the keyboard is not working, I can't kill the X server or

(apologies for MS-cruft - I'm at work) That message you refer to was probably from me, just playing the part of a concerned citizen. I have no pretensions to moderating anything. yaboot may sound extreme, but it's the way. it's not that hard tho. all you need is: - a copy of yaboot at the top

USB and Palm

2000-08-22 Thread Stephen Judd
I have a pismo and a Palm V, and naturally, I'd like them to talk through Linux rather than MacOS. I tried plugging the cradle in to an USB port (I have an adapter that works fine through MacOS 9). I can see this in dmesg: USB new device connect, assigned device number 1 but there is no

Version of mutt for debian powerpc

I note that the powerpc mutt package is 1.1.2, while the i386 one is 1.2. How do I find out who maintains the powerpc package (eg if I want to help out by testing?). Stephen

setserial upgrade causes kernel panic on G3 Powerbook

2000-06-13 Thread Stephen Judd
Yesterday I added "unstable" to my apt.sources and did an upgrade. Now I get a kernel panic, dropping into a debugger on boot. This only happens with Paul M's 2.2.15pre19 kernel - it does not happen with the older 2.2.15.pre14 kernel. It seems to be setserial that's the problem, removing this pa
