Re: XFree86 Autodetection

I would guess that likely the hardware *isn't* being detected. That's the only explanation I could see for why it wouldn't work. I guess I'll have to poke around in Knoppix some more to see why it detects the pad but Mandrake doesn't. Funny...it used to work fine with Mandrake 8.x but stopped when I upgraded to 9.2 and it used to just use the standard PS/2 mouse driver. > Also, are you sure you're using the right config file?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm using XFree86 version 4... -- Peter Pankonin, digitalcrucible There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list clug-talk@xxxxxxx http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca

I'll just say that concurrent useage isn't a big problem in my opinion. I regularly emerge multiple packages simultaneously. The only time I've ever had problems is when I ran out of swap. It's vaguely possible that 2 people could simultaneously emerge --update world, but I suspect it wouldn't matter much. It's pretty rare to see packages kill each other. I'd be more worried about someone changing make.conf than emerging a second package. Besides, how often are 2 root users using the machine at the same time, and why? Maybe the best fix would be to allow root to only be logged in via the console if that was a concern in a given environment. That would resolve the issue of multiple emerges, and it would secure the server against other things too. Remote admin could still be possible (for servers and stuff) via remote admin cards...
