I bought a new hard-drive, and just installed Linux on it.
My mouse is a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse.
I CAN'T GET MY MOUSE TO WORK. I HAVE TO POST FOR HELP WITH LYNX! THIS HURTS MY EYES.
For the love of god, if anybody knows what device to use or how to configure a system to use a Logitech wireless USB/PS-2 keyboard/mouse, HELP!
(The keyboard works, the mouse doesn't.)
(On a side note, lynx > links. Lynx has color **AND** works better with cookies! :D)

Jesus Christ, calm down!
I'm assuming the mx700, which is what I have, so that makes it easy. Anything on the mx-series should work like this, though.
Open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and find the mouse section. Change it to this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
EndSection
Leave whatever "Identifier" was already there, if it was Mouse or Mouse0, that's fine.
-
No good!
The axis mapping might help though. When I pick "USB" (from "mouseconfig"), if I move the mouse left it goes up, and if I move it right it goes down. Moving it up and down do nothing.
On a side note, Windows sucks. I'm missing ethernet drivers! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET ETHERNET DRIVERS WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION?!?!?!?! :p :(
-
from a cd
-
How are you online right now? Get the drivers on to a floppy or CD or on the hard drive. Then stick in the Floppy/CD/Hard Drive and install :O.
-
from a cd
No shit, sherlock. Don't you think if I had the CD I would have installed them?
Keep your useless shit remarks out of a thread where I am fucking serious.
Ergot: I'm in Linux. Linux works fine, except for the mouse. I can't get the drivers because I don't know what drivers to get for it. I have no floppies I can use, and I don't have any CD-R(W)s I can use!
-
Then go buy some. You're supposed to get drivers from the internet on another machine, burn them to disc, bring them to the stranded machine, and install.
-
I always keep my ethernet drivers (for Linux and Windows) on my iPod. gg.
I had that problem too, for awhile. I forget how I fixed it, though. I just played around with settings and I turned off that thing.. that lets you use the mouse in the console.. wossname.

SUcks that Windows can't view any linux partitions with out third party help :(. Well, if the LAN card (I'm guessing) works on Linux, isn't there that one command... lspci ? Then you find the driver for your LAN card :O!. Mount the Windows partition and copy it there?

Yes it works on Linux!
However, my Windows partition is NTFS, so I can't write to it.
*sigh*
I'll get it working, eventuelly. Thanks for all the help so far (although hardly any has worked) :(
-
Convert your swap partition (if you have one :() into a fat32 partition!
-
Use your account on my server that you NEVER use. :(
-
Heh. I got my ethernet working on Windows (my old drive (which still works!) had a folder called 'Alienware\Drivers' on it! :D :D :D :D)
Now all I need to fix is my mouse in Linux, and that isn't a top priority either. (Since I leave tomorrow for my mom's house, and I have an IntelliMouse there ... o.O)
NEW ERROR!
I can't access "T:\Documents and Settings\MyOldAccount". (T: is my old drive)
It gives me "Access is Denied"
On my old computer, MyOldAccount had its folder private.
However, on my new computer, I have the same account name.
HELP PLEASE. :(
On a side note, I know how to move files from Linux -> Windows!
Turn my iPod into disk mode, move 'em over, and bam!
-

You have to take ownership of the files. I have no clue how, but I remember it wasn't easy. Windows's ACL stuff sucks.
-
My dad said it's a security feature. I asked if all the bugs and unneceesary garbage in Windows XP were features too!
He didn't like that. So I just booted into Linux, read what I needed out of the protected files, moved 'em to the iPod, booted back into Windows, and bam! :D
-
Having really crappy ACL's that you can override with a right click and a bunch of clicks is a feature? Jesus..
-
Hehehe.

Do you have only one computer at your house? I was serious. I burn them to a CD from my other computer whenever something fatally blows up.
