Re: installing woody on Indy R5000-ip22
i'm having a bit of trouble with debian on the indy r5k with debian/testing
as well. the install went just fine, and startx works properly, but the
mouse doesn't. i've tried both methods detailed at
http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/linux-mips/xfree86/#mouse (i.e. w/ gpm
and w/o) and either way once i touch the mouse it immediately jumps in to
the right corner and begins clicking. X returns the error (EE) No OS PCI
support available ... the mouse works fine in the prom manager (the SGI
"system maintenace" menus..)
i'm stumped.

Could we somehow make this more clear in the docs--I spent 5 hours playing
with that and then finished the install in 3 more hours, (which was mostly
due to processor speed).
