HELP: new to debian 3.0
Hi,
I've just installed Debian 3.0...pretty much without a hitch. Now I'm trying to get everything in working order. There's a few things I'm unsure of:
1) upon installing the system, I set the clock time to GTM, rather than local time. Now when it displays the time, it's -5 hours behind my local time. How can I reconfigure this?
I've modified /etc/default/rcS, "UTC=no"...but that didn't fix it.
2) I have a scroll mouse...but the 'scrolling' part isn't working.
In looking in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, both InputDevices: Configured Mouse and Generic Mouse have the lines:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
3) the sound driver was either not installed, or not configured properly on
installation. I get the error:
"error initializing sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (permission denied)"
...when logging in.
4) is there any way to shutdown/reboot the system while logged in as a user? I'd rather not have to su to root everytime to power down.
Thanks in advance,
r o b
