several problems with a new installation (hey, I'm learning)
Hi,
I have a list of problems that I need help with:
1) I still can not get the serial mouse to work. Every time I configure it, th
e mouse flies around the screen very erratically. I have messed around with man
y options for it and I still can not make it work!
2) I can not get the sound to work! If I execute "cat bong.au >/dev/audio" I g
et "zsh: no such device: /dev/audio" (I did the cat at root level, so it is not
a permissions conflict). How do I check for the drivers for the audio board? I
t is IBM MWave sound card.
3) How do I check the number of bit planes being used by the xserver? I seem t
o still run out of colors with a S3-Virge board with 2 Megs of RAM! How do you
specify the resolution and number of bit planes to come up in with startx?
4) Where can I look to find some good background pictures in xpm format?
Thank you for your time and attention.
