Hello,
I have qingy 0.6 installed running with only one problem i can't use the mouse on the login ... the mouse pointer is at the center of the screen, at least i thing that is the mouse pointer since i never managed to move it.
I'm only using qingy in one tty.
Code: |
#etc/inittab
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
c7:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty7
|
I search this tread and no solution, since i had GPM i removed but still no luke ... the mouse works after the login but can't seem to put it working on the login.
I have a old mouse (using /dev/ttyS1) it runs ok for Xorg or GPM, i removed GPM but since it still don't work i guess i miss something, i checked my kernel and the mouse driver is compiled there what did i miss ???
[EDITED]
I forgot to mentioned that im using kernel 2.4, i just read the kernel 2.6 upgrade manual and i try /dev/tts/1 instead of /dev/ttyS1 and still no luke mouse only works after login

You have to tell DirectFB that you are using a serial mouse... Try putting the following in your /etc/directfbrc:
If that doesn't work, try using MS3, MouseMan or MouseSystems as protocol. See 'man directfbrc' for more details. _________________ Linux *IS* user friendly: it just appears

Thanks for the reply ...
I had mouse-protocol=MM, i try to replaced it with MS3, MouseMan, MouseSystems, MM3, Microsoft, MMSeries, Logitech, BusMouse,SysMouse and WSMouse and no luck.
Between every try i did env-update, i also try them with /dev/ttyS1 and /dev/ttyS1 on xorg.conf i guess i will have to forget the mouse i can't remember nothing else thanks any way. _________________ Never Quit, Never Get Mad, Get Even |

Leave xorg.conf alone, it has nothing to do with DirectFB
Try setting
in your /etc/directfbrc
This is not documented in 'man directfbrc', but it might work... _________________ Linux *IS* user friendly: it just appears

In last post i mean /dev/tts/1 and /dev/ttyS1 but now i know i don't have to touch xorg.conf ......
With mouseport=ttyS1 or mouseport=/dev/ttyS1 i get :
Code: |
Unrecoverable error: reverting to text mode!
|
I'm use to have something breaking my head on my gentoo box this is just one more, i will solve it some how just like every other .... just maybe not today ...
Thanks again. _________________ Never Quit, Never Get Mad, Get Even |

I didn't had the file to you just have to create it with nano vi or any editor of your choice and set any parameters you need on it. _________________ Never Quit, Never Get Mad, Get Even |

Nano or vi? What's that? I thought files are created with Mocrosoft Office. WHY can't I crate /etc/directfbrc with Microsoft Office like this directfbrc.doc??

I don't think you will have office after installing gentoo ....
I have read some forums that it is possible to run office on Linux but i never really try it woud break the ideia of free software in my case .....
If you are on graphical interface (linux graphical like gnome kde fluxbox etc) you can use any editor you wish as long as you save the file on text format and with the name directfbrc no extension like doc xls or any other just directfbrc. _________________ Never Quit, Never Get Mad, Get Even |

After I installed the stable version and all dependencies I rebooted and received the following error:
Code: | init: Id "c1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes |
The terminal section of my inittab is as follows:
Code: | # TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty1
c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty2
c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty3
c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty4
c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty5
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux |
Does anyone know what would be causing this? |

I can't say it will solve your problem but devfsd is less than 50 kb try it i don't think it will break your machine in worst case you will have to remove it again. _________________ Never Quit, Never Get Mad, Get Even |

qingy seems to offer a nice login manager, but the themes that come with are, well, a matter of taste...
i also notice that qingy-themes in portage doesn't seem to be up-to-date, it doesn't include gentoo login screens which are part of the theme pack on qingy's website... nevermind. it's probably interesting for designing your own login screen, but i'm no artist...
a part from nice eye-candy, i haven't been convinced by qingy : too many things to reconfigure (mouse and key maps...) some logoff options no longer available in kde (probably because kdm is no more used) - i find qingy having more drawbacks than advantages...
it would be nice to get similar stuff integrated into usual DE, though. |

Got Qingy installed and running, everything is great.. except that the mouse pointer disappears when I try to move it.
It's not that the mouse doesn't work; I can blindly move it around and will eventually stumble upon a button. I just can't see the cursor.
It's a somewhat old laptop (Acer TravelMate 210T). Mouse works in X and in framebuffer (links2 -g with gpm enabled). I've tried with gpm enabled and disabled, same thing both times. Kernel is Gentoo 2.6.16-r7, only real 'extras' that are compiled in are the framebuffer and bootsplash stuff (as in http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_gensplash).
Anyone know what I can do to fix it? |

After updating DirectFB to 0.9.25.1 I had the same problem. This reminded me that, when you emerge DirectFB, you must tell Portage what input drivers should be built. I emerged DirectFB as follows:
Code: | INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard ps2mouse" emerge DirectFB |
This made my keyboad, PS/2 and USB mouse work in DirectFB, and thus in qingy. _________________ Linux *IS* user friendly: it just appears

I'm experiencing some problems with qingy, whenever I try to start it I just get a black screen and nothing works (I can't switch to other tty's, I have to press the reset button). I followed the gentoo wikis, compiled my kernel correctly, made sure no extra options were enable, tried both vesa and vesa-tng. Emerged the packages with the right useflag. Same problem over and over again. My system boots fine in 1280x1024-24@75 just as I tell it to, but qingy just refuses to work (it does work in textmode).
Any ideas what I should try or look out for? I use the latest genkernel (2.6.16-r9)
some extra info:
my additional kernel line in grub
Code: | video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr:2,1280x1024-24@75 |
fbset gives me:
Code: | mode "1280x1024-75"
# D: 135.007 MHz, H: 79.981 kHz, V: 75.029 Hz
geometry 1280 1024 1280 2457 16
timings 7407 248 16 38 1 144 3
hsync high
vsync high
rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0
endmode
|
and the vesa lines in dmesg:
Code: | vesafb: NVidia Corporation, NV25 Board, Chip Rev (OEM: NVidia)
vesafb: VBE version: 3.0
vesafb: protected mode interface info at c000:e350
vesafb: pmi: set display start = c00ce395, set palette = c00ce41a

vesafb: VBIOS/hardware supports DDC2 transfers
vesafb: monitor limits: vf = 75 Hz, hf = 83 kHz, clk = 140 MHz

Try passing qingy the --verbose command line arg: what does it say before locking up your machine? _________________ Linux *IS* user friendly: it just appears

Hehe, unfortunately right now you can get console output and nothing else. I'm currently working on implementing more powerful logging cababilities, but these are not ready yet... _________________ Linux *IS* user friendly: it just appears
