hi all,
with debootstrap and some commands from debian-reference (ch. 8) i made
a sid-root ,chroot') system 'within' lenny. so far so good. i got x
working and the mouse.
but, when i start the computer again, i still can boot into my sid-root
system on tty 8, i still have got the x-window-system working, but my
mouse is not found under sid-root. when i return to tty 7 (lenny) the
mouse works normal.
somebody knows a solution for this: to keep the mouse working under my
sid-root system?
i badly need it to work because under sid i am able to get my canion
pixma mp220 working (with the mp150 driver)
dmesg under chroot tells me

hi folks,
twice i put this message on the list. twice no answers/comments.
that's allright as far as i am concerned. yet for the case somebody is interested:
I solved this problem (as formulated above). I concluded that a way to
let sid-root find my mouse-device was to adapt /sid-root/dev.
after a computer_reboot.
so i did under lenny as root # chroot /sid-root /bin/bash (1)
and chroot # cd /dev; /sbin/MAKEDEV generic; cd- (2)
that did the trick.
However I am not ready yet. I should like to automate these commands in some way.
is that possible? and how?
any help will be appreciated,
reg.,
steef
