| 00:26.07 | ajay | hello. I just installed udev on my ibook2.2 and now x won't start because it can't find a mouse. can anyone help? |
| 00:36.06 | *** part/#debianppc adhoc (kim@porta2.ratbaggames.com) |
| 00:37.25 | simonrvn | ajay: do you have a /dev/input/mice ? |
| 00:37.56 | ajay | don't think so. remember seeing that it couldn't find it. how do I make it create one automatically? |
| 00:38.41 | simonrvn | restart gpm could do it, otherwise it's crw------- 1 root root 13, 63 2004-12-09 03:20 /dev/input/mice |
| 00:39.16 | ajay | ok. i'll try it right now. I guess i'll have to change udev to create it every time. do you know how? |
| 00:39.33 | simonrvn | it should be regardless. lemme check something |
| 00:39.38 | dj-death | alsa rocks ;) |
| 00:41.41 | simonrvn | ajay: well, in my udev.rules file there's an input/mice rule. like i said, it should be. dunno why it hasn't |
| 00:41.50 | simonrvn | KERNEL="mice", NAME="input/%k" |
| 00:42.47 | ajay | I guess i'll have to put that in udev/rules.d/00-rules or something like that right? |
| 00:43.47 | simonrvn | it should already be in /etc/udev/udev.rules |
| 00:44.07 | simonrvn | try restarting gpm from console |
| 00:44.31 | ajay | don't have gpm installed |
| 00:45.17 | simonrvn | so restart udev, see if it creates it, but it'd be much easier to just mknod the file you need |
| 00:45.20 | ajay | yeah actually it's already in there. how come it's not working |
| 00:45.58 | simonrvn | does your x cof use that? |
| 00:46.01 | simonrvn | conf* |
| 00:47.21 | ajay | checking. please wait. I am having issues w/ it. just went to sleep and couldn't bring it back out |
| 00:50.02 | *** join/#debianppc randyg__ (~randyg@ip68-105-23-171.hu.sd.cox.net) |
| 00:50.32 | ajay | yes. I have "Device" "/dev/input/mice" and "Protocol" "ImPS/2" |
| 00:53.00 | randyg | god dammit. when I rebooted, my tablet got claimed by the generic HID driver instead of the wacom driver. |
| 00:54.16 | ajay | simonrvn, mknod did the trick. I can boot into X. but how the heck do I make sure that it is created everytime? can I put in a rule to do it unconditionally? |
| 00:55.05 | randyg | unless you're on a ramdisk, mknod should be permanent, no? |
| 00:55.21 | ajay | udev :( |
| 00:56.11 | randyg | should configure hotplug then, I think |
| 00:56.38 | ajay | I thought hotplug did everything automatically? |
| 00:57.15 | randyg | automagically would be a better term. :) |
| 00:57.27 | p8m | lol |
| 00:57.43 | ajay | :). but how come it doesn't recognize the mouse? |
| 00:58.45 | randyg | dunno. I missed that part of the conversation. :) |
| 00:59.53 | randyg | the usb device is being claimed by the wacom driver, but it's still getting fed into the generic hid system |
| 01:01.23 | ajay | basically I "upgraded" to udev and now everything's gone to hell |
| 01:01.27 | randyg | heh |
| 01:01.37 | randyg | I have a good old /dev filesystem. :) |
| 01:01.51 | randyg | brb |
| 01:02.00 | ajay | yeah. I was trying to get gnome-volume-manger working. might have to remove udev for now. |
| 01:05.09 | ajay | removed it. rebooting now... |
| 01:07.06 | ajay | thank you randyg and simonrvn for you help. |

| 04:09.09 | xanatos_ | yea, you just copy the boot image and ramdisk image to the BootX "Linux Kernels" folder, if I'm recalling the names correctly |
| 04:09.22 | xanatos_ | you can't actually boot the CD though, the Open Firmware doesn't support it |
