Conflict between mouse and tablet
by Dave Gutteridge 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

I've been working hard to get my Wacom tablet to work as my primary pointing device. I've installed the drivers and followed the instructions at the Linux Wacom project at Sourceforge. And I've been largely successful. The drivers are working, the configuration utilities are working. I'm just one step away from success. Apparently the problem is that my mouse and my USB tablet are fighting with each other for control of input to the pointer. A guy from the Linux Wacom mailing list (I can't believe I'm on a mailing list for how to get a pointing device to work) told me that I need to edit xorg.conf so that my mouse device option points to "mouse1" and not "mice". And he referred me to the following page of explanation. http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/mouse1 The guys who work to make the Wacom driver happen on Linux are good guys who have put in a lot of hard work to make their driver as well documented as possible. But it's a case of information overload and cryptic technobabble. They're talking way over my head. Anyway, following the gist of their advice, I edited my xorg.conf file where it says: "Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" ... to: Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1" ... but there was no change. ... and the guys on the Linux Wacom list take a long time to respond, if at all. So, can someone here advise on what setting in xorg.conf will get my mouse input out of the way and let my tablet do it's job? I also tried removing the whole section for the mouse specifications, thinking that if it wasn't there, it couldn't obstruct my tablet. But that caused X windows to crash. Here is my current xorg.conf: # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.

How to query the package owning the file? (no packahe manger installed)
by Prasad Pillarisetti 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Guys recently I had this question asked in a technical interview. How do I find out the package owning a particular file, when no package managers are installed? I am assuimg SRPMs are used to install the software? Is this actually possible? Install the Linux OS without a package manager? I know "rpm -qf filename" gives the package owning the file. But how to get the package name when I don't have any package manager? Maybe this was a question to rattle me? -- Prasad Pillarisetti "If everything is coming your way, then you are in the wrong lane"

centos plus kernel
by Hilliard, Jay 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Are the changes in the centosplus kernel limited only to what is enabled the config file? There are some specific (and critical) patches I've had to apply to 2.6.9-11 to make it stable in our environment. Are kernel patches to known problems something that can be considered for CentOS plus? For example, this one was critical to get rid of prio_tree kernel crashes under heavy load: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.10-rc1/2.6.1… -- Jay Hilliard

Upgrade RedHat 9 to Fedora
by sudo Yang 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

What would be the easiest way to upgrade 2000 servers from RedHat 9 to Fedora or RedHat Enterprise/CentOS? Also, 1/2 of these systems have 1 TB data partition that cannot be destroyed. Would an upgrade option work via Kickstart?

Question driving external LCD from dell laptop
by Jerry Geis 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

I have a dell inspiron 8200 laptop running centos 4.1 just fine. I want to connect it to an external 32 inch LCD. This laptop is dual boot windows. I set windows up to 1024x768 and connected the LCD - it worked just fine. LCD max is 1333x768 I then booted Centos 4.1 and set X to be 1024x768 also. rebooted the laptop just ot make sure. I then connected the LCD and it says can't display it... Any ideas on how I might get the LCD to display CentOS X? Thanks, Jerry

Trying to get up and running with Open Office beta
by Dave Gutteridge 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

I was using the beta version of Open Office on Windows for... I don't know how long, but many months now. I quite like it and would like to replace the current stable 1.1 build of OpenOffice that came with CentOS with the beta. So i downloaded the RPMs from the OpenOffice site and dutifully followed their installation instructions, and it went well. I think. I mean, there were no errors and it did a whole bunch of unpacking and stuff. But any office document I try to open still opens with the previous OpenOffice, I can't find any icons for the OpenOffice Beta in any of my menus, and any documents I had created with OpenOffice Beta in Windows aren't recognized by CentOS. In short, I think it's installed, but I don't know how to start it. How do I do that, and how do I remove the "old" Open Office? Dave

RE: [CentOS] Japanese Language Support?
by kenkensmile＠netscape.net 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

Hi, Just install CentOS using Japanese, so you can use Japanese on Gnome. It means that when you are installing CentOS, you must choose Japanese language . When you get on your account, click language and choose Japanese as well before typing your user name and password. You just push Ctrl and space at the same time, so you can type Japanese on Firefox, Mozilla, Openoffice and so on. For example, if you want to type "さよなら", you need to type "SAYONARA" on your English keyboard. If you want to use Chinese characters for Japanese language, push space after typing Japanese, so you can choose Chinese characters. Hope that this helps you.
