 |
|
I have managed to get XFree86 up and running.. and it looks damn ugly (ofcourse).
Now I would be interested in using something like KDE.
How can I get KDE up and running?
Any links I should read up that will describe it for me, or any help you care to give?
Thanks

Actually I'm stuck on The MOUSE part of that.
I cant get my USB Mouse to work in X.
I dont have a /dev/input, nor /usbmouse or /hid.
What am I doing wrong?

Most likely support for USB mouse has not been compiled into the kernel. I don't use any usb devices so I can't really help, but the Desktop guide do have some information on the topic.
As always a quick forum search would have given you loads of threads about the topic. I did a search for usbmouse and xfree and got many threads, among them USB mouse installation.
Next time, use the search function first, then post a question if you can't find the answer.

Hi thanks for the link, but it really did'nt help that much.
USB support is compiled into the kernel.
During boot-up I see the mouse is detected.
Nothing under USB (make menuconfig) is <M>odules, all is *-kernel, could this be a error?
I dont see how I can get these modules:
| Code: |
mousedev
usbmouse
input
usbcore
usb-ohci
|
installed... after all, i Do have to select some switches in the make menuconfig, dont i? Which are those modules equivalent in make menuconfig?
Thanks.
I do use search.
When everything works I think I shall write a über-dummies guide to Gentoo installation.. =)

This will give you the required modules that you're lookin' for.
Once you recompile your kernel, you can add usbmouse, hid, usbcore, uhci, and input to your /etc/modules.autoload (after your NIC module). This will give you the /dev/input and the required links to your mouse.
Then just continue following the Gentoo Linux Desktop Configuration Guide, as mentioned by CDLM, above.
Good luck!

Hi,
I added the VIA EHCI HCD instead of the Experimental.. but that did'nt help much.
A LSMOD gives me
usbcore
8139too
mii
My autoload file includes.
8139too
usbcore
usb-uhci (the other was uhci (i.e, the M you had selected)
hid
mousedev
Only let me run USBCORE.
I was told to add from "INPUT CORE" as well.
The mouse is detected during bootup as I can see from the messages.. and also the mouse light turns on.. so I guess its working?
How can I check the boot-log file and see what was loaded?

| Hmm.. this might be a devfsd.conf issue, not a kernel module issue |

Ok, I've now recompiled the kernel with everything added as KERNEL instead of modules.
Time to see if it works
