by I've got a Gateway 2000 dx2-66v tower. I'm trying to get linux running on
it. Inorder to get xwindows to come up I understand that I will have to
change the kernel and re-compile. The reason for this is that the mouse
is a PS/2 type of mouse and it uses irq 12 instead of irq 5. I have done
this by changing the include file busmouse.h found in directory
/use/src/linux/include/linux. I also change the irq and address of my mitsumi
cdrom. It needed to have the file mcd.h changed to use address of 0x340 and
IRQ 11.
Every thing compiles and the system boots up. AS it boots up it detects
the pointing device as a ps/2 and it also detects the mitsumi_cd.
I have two problems.
One is that the cdrom now doesn't mount and I have to mount it after
login in as root. There is an entry in my fstab and it use to mount before
with the default kernel that came with the yggdrasil boot disk.
What do I have to do to get this to happen.
My other problem which is more troubling is that I still cant seem to get
xconfig set up write so that x finds the mouse. my setting in xconfig
is: busmouse /dev/psmouse.
