Hello there, I have two questions, one hurd related and the other so-so. I have a serial Logitech mouse (which I bought when I began my Unix adventure, afraid that a no-name mouse might give me unespected problems, but this one endures for years in perfect condition) that works on gpm under the MouseMan protocal, but can also work under the Microsoft protocol. Thins is, when I set the translator to /dev/ttyS0 and protocol=microsoft the mouse freaks out... X starts, and it moves, more or less, but if I press a button it will go down, things like that, I can't make a straight line of 2 cm with him, totally crazy. Protocol mouseman isn't implemented afaik and I've lost the URL of the japanese page where the protocols were discribed... so when I set it with device=ps2 protocol=ps2 X doesn't start due to a mouse problem (/dev/mouse not found). As anybody with either a ps2 mouse (to give me the ps2 semantics so I can use my second mouse) or ths kind of logitech mouse (to give me the magic translator) help me? The other one is about screen; it isn't Hurd specific but most ppl here use it, and Linux users generally don't; now, I've come to love screen... it's so feature-full and customizable that I've started using it on Linux instead of the kernel VT... but the thing is, I can't seem to be able to display any colours at all using it, only bold... I've tried changing screenrc but I always end up either with the same results or with a screen that doesn't understand anything of what I'm typing. Is colour possible? Or is it plainly impossible, period? Now that I have colout highlighting on console with emacs I can't go back :) Oh, BTW, last night I noticed that I can't do a C-c on, say, info, info caughts the signal and says something like 'unkown command'; I went to sleep while reading the screen info, so I know that it might be something with flow control (or not); I know that there are better ways to get out of info (a simple 'q'), but I'm afraid if this sort of things happen in other programs where I usually just C-c them.
