-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Patrick Soltani sent me this email; I'm forwarding it to the list because I can't answer this question myself. - ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: RE: About BSD Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2001 19:10:24 -0800 From: "Patrick Soltani" <psoltani@ultradns.com> To: <matthew@starbreaker.net> Hi, I followed the instruction below carefully, however kde complains about the: Section "InputDevice" to be invalid and my XF86Config resides in /etc. The xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" also gets the complain: " you have 3 buttons "; I have tried with a new optical mouse and regular roller mouse both from Microsoft. The only device driver that works is /dev/psm0 though. Tried many combinations to no avail. Any info deeply appreciated.

In my case, I have an .emacs file in "/home/matthew/.emacs". Yours would live in "/home/yuichiro/.emacs" if "yuichiro" is your username. > 2. How can I activate the sound stuff? I tried many ways.

The FreeBSD Handbook's "Sound" section has instructions at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound.html This page is in English; you might want to look around for a Japanese translation. > 3.

I assume that you want to use the wheel. You didn't have to alter /etc/rc.conf or the Netscape resource file. Here's what you need in /etc/X11/XF86Config if you're using an Intellimouse Explorer, which is a seven-button optical mouse: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" EndSection Afterwards, you need to install the "imwheel" utility. It's in "/usr/ports/x11/imwheel". Install it, put the .imwheelrc file that I'll attach into your /home directory, and then run imwheel from a prompt. Also, if you're using the seven-button optical Intellimouse, then you need to type the following in an XTerm: xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" Once you've done all that you should be able to use your IntelliMouse in X. However, if you're using a regular intellmouse, you need the following in /etc/X11/XF86Config: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection You'll probably also need to issue the following command if the wheel doesn't scroll properly: xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 4 5 3" Email the list if you have further questions. - - -- Matthew Graybosch http://www.starbreaker.net GnuPG Key ID: 0x7D488659 "This message has been satirized for your protection." - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE79GtbcCiK1X1IhlkRAn0kAKCMouEoduNRXWdeSBPwtZq+Bo2SrwCdFXw+ 65IS7+whbZKCpU/nzT79oG8= =ViQ1 - -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - ------------------------------------------------------- - -- Matthew Graybosch http://www.starbreaker.net GnuPG Key ID: 0x7D488659 "Sex, Unix, and rock 'n roll" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE790GCcCiK1X1IhlkRAgGEAJoCpSj+YhLCZsXXlybVcvL1AZUPzQCfekyv 18NeUJFSLdvupXc/h885EKc= =RkZy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
