[RULE] serial mice and fb device

[Markus Nicolussi]

Hello!

I'm Markus from "Bino na Biso". This ist a congolese (Demokratic Rep. Congo)
organisation which hypes cultural exchange by
1.) making it possilbe to life one half or one jear in Kinshasa and working
in a social Organisation witch supports street children. For this there
exists a parntership with the austrian NGO "Grenzenlos" (Borderless). but also
2.) making it possible to take part in computerizing scools in Kishasa.
Doing this Bino na Biso wants to support the spreading of free software. For this
there exists a parntership with the austrian organisation VUM (www.vum.at).

The last one is my topic. I'm 25 Jears old and I worked since 1997 (SuSE
5.0) with Linux. It was alwyas a hobby after doing the tchnical highscool and
besides working with Windows and afterwards studying social work and engaging
at ATTAC (www.atac.org). So far to my person.

I'd like to ask a question:

We have around 60-70 PCs here which are running rulified/vumboxed RH9.
(which we'll add by time to your test-database :-)

Some of the machines have serial mouses like Logitech or MS-Mouse 2.0A. They
work after some configuration steps with redhat-config-mouse for the
console, but not with tinyX. (MS Mouse 2.1A does!) After consulting "man Xvesa" and
the "man Xkdrive" i only found the options -2button and -3button to tell
tinyX anything about mice.

Are there any other possibilitys to configure the mouse with tinyX? Or can
anybody tell me anything about this?

We really have to have mouse support for the graphical system, otherwise the
pubils in our supportet scools will not be pleased ;-)

another question: the rh9 kernel should support fb-mode i think. why can't i
just relink /usr/X11R6/X to /usr/X11R6/Xfbdevice? (see startx-error.txt)


thank u in advance

ciao, nico
