- I recently installed the SLS 0.98pl5 distribution on my machine.
-
- I had several problems, but was able to get it up and running,
- install the latest kernel source, and remake the kernel.
-
- I had several problems, but the two I'd like to address are:
-
- 1) MS Bus mouse doesn't work under X
- 2) Video Seven VRAM II video card not supported.
-
- Upon boot I kept seeing the detection of and installation of
- three different mouse drivers. When I ran X, the mouse wouldn't
- work, so I thought maybe there was a problem with having too
- many mice, so I changed the kernal to only install a MS Bus
- mouse driver. Still didn't work. :-(
-
- Upon boot, I was not given a proper choice of video modes to
- chose from. Some of the resolutions I had to chose from were
- not available on my video card. I I changed the kernel to
- look for the Video Seven first rather than last, and I was
- given a proper choice of options. None of which would actually
- change to the proper video mode...
-
- So my two questions are:
-
- 1) Any ideas on why the MS mouse isn't working under X?
- 2) Anyone have a Video Seven working under Linux?
