CentOS 5 Hardware :: MS Sidewinder Gaming Mouse Configuration
Apr 14, 2009
I am a newbie of Linux who start to use the CentOS from scratch. I installed the 5.3 finial version on my desk computer two days ago (I used the Keyboard during the installation). Unfortunately, Microsoft sidewinder mouse can't be recognized.
Representation:
1: There is a mouse pointer at the center of the screen, but can't be moved.
2: Nothing about mouse confirmation has been wrote into /etc/X11/xorg...
I have just find some relative topics/threads on the Google. But finally, I am failed to resolve it by following the solution. [URL]
1: What's the EVDEV drive they mentioned?
2: What's the .xbindkeysrc file for? And how to create it in correct way?
3: I cant find the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/, does it because the different base types between two two distribution? Or I have missing anything?

Using the Sidewinder DNS, we get truncation now. 192.168.5.1 is our MS Active Directory DNS server. 192.168.1.1 is our Sidewinder - zones are replicated from AD to Sidewinder.

Ok first my setup
AMD Phenom 2 955 3.2
4GB DDR3 G.Skill Gaming Ram
HIS ATi 5770 GFX
Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 tested 32 bit
Latest wine compiled with the needed patchs
All 3D Games under wine run at a very low fps even with the lowest graphics settings, this includes starcraft 2, league of legends, css, etc. using the latest ATi driver and 11.2 and the "tested" additional drivers ubuntu auto installs and yes i followed all the guides to improve performance under wine in all my games and all the custom patchs
Even native games such as Trine, cop lag spikes, and choppyness
Now this does not happen under windows, so i know my card and computer are healthy as can be, there new parts. in windows, in the same games, i get up to 200 fps +
The only conclusion i can come to is an incompatability with ubuntu and the latest ati drivers but i cant find anyone who can confirm this or that has a similiar setup and the same problems
I also see people with better or lower ati cards, some with the same, running these exact games in linux on high graphics with no lag
Now, abit of a turn around is, Trine and native games ran smooth as can be in Fedora 14, i cant remember what drivers i used, i followed there yum guide, but it ran extremely well and with no glitching in the exact same spots were i would glitch heavily in ubuntu
Tho i was unable to test wine games because i couldnt figure out how to compile wine in fedora with a patch i need to run my specific games, in ubuntu it was easy using sudo and apt-get
the only response i got from the ubuntu forums was "get an nvidia card"
I realise wine isnt perfect, but, fact is. other people have these games running fine on similiar cards and setups I dont know if there using different drivers.

I got a problem with ubuntu and it is when I try to play games everything works alright but suddenly I get a random freeze, my entire screen freezes and I have to reboot in most cases, sometimes it turns to normal after a while. I had this problem in 9.10 and I got nvidia GTX 275. I dualboot with windows.
It could be my fans that are not working as the computer temperature gets up to 43 C or something when I game, however I've not seen how hot it is when it freezes.
Oh and I use 10.04, had the same bug in 9.10

when i run an application full screen in wine then it spans both of my monitors, whereas i just want it on 1 monitor. I thought an easy solution to this would be to simply run the program in windowed mode instead of full screen. However, when in windowed mode the mouse cursor leaves the window, which isn't advantageous to gaming.
how to keep the mouse cursor in the wine window? Or does anyone know how to make full screen only use one monitor?

I intend to develop a game using Java. I will need a dedicated server for running the server side code for clients to connect to.
For ease of development I was hoping to use an old PC sat next to my desktop to run as a server.
I have downloaded the 32 bit server platform (all the CPU will allow on this machine) and put it on a USB stick and can run it and it all works ok. When I get midway through the installation I get to a screen that asks me to 'Choose software to install', I was just wondering if there were some choices that I should make here. For instance I will be using MySQL, Java etc...
I am persisting on with an installation for the moment but I will be able to reinstall everything again if necessary.

I've got a long road trip day after tomorrow, and thankfully, I'm not driving. I own 3 working laptops which I'm bringing with me, along with 2 brothers who enjoy starcraft (1). I've never setup a LAN before, how would I do it? My laptop's dual booting slack and lucid, the other two are vista/karmic and standalone 7. All 3 have cards capable of wireless G and Ethernet ports.

I've searched everything I can think of to find out if this or something similar has already been solved but I didn't find anything, that's not to say it hasn't already been done because I don't understand enough of what I'm using to search properly, if it has then I apologise.
The problem I have is connecting to the internet using Ubuntu 10.4 and my Belkin Wireless G Gaming Adapter, I'll try and give an overview of my setup. PC - BelkinWirelessAdapter - Router.
The PC is connected to Adapter via ethernet, I set up the Adapter through my web browser to connect to my router, it finds the router perfectly but no matter how I set up the IP settings etc... it won't come up saying it is connected to the internet, the connection to the adapter itself seems okay as long as I am only trying to get into the adapter itself which requires a particular IP address, this address can't be used to get online though, so when I change it to what works on every other system I've used nothing happends, nothing happens when I use DHCP either. I'm a complete Linux noob so please make any responses as simple as possible lol

I had been running Fedora core 13. Everything was running fine. Gaming graphics were excellent. 3d acceleration was as well. Did a fresh install of fedora core 14 and now gaming graphics just plain suck. Colours are distorted, textures are shotty, lots of black spots in the distance.I've install mesa experimental drivers with no improvement. also messed with the settings in either game with little to no improvement
Specific games this is happening on are urban terror and nexuiz.Graphics card is Radeon HD 4650
Code:
# glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV730 9498) 20090101 TCL DRI2

My 5 year old daughter is having a great time singing to the karaoke game I've put onto my Ubuntu HTPC system. However the USB microphone is having a hard time!
I was wondering if it would be possible to use an "Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver (Crossfire) For Windows" in Ubuntu with the cordless mic I already have for my Xbox 360? I guess it'll be a driver issue as always. However, I also note that MS don't mention the receiver works specifically with the microphone, they only mention the control pad and steering wheel, so I could be going down a blind alley anyway.

I am using Centos 5. I got one error unexpectedly after some configuration for rsync and folder settings. The error i am getting is "Serve Authorization directory (daemon/ServAuthDir) is set to /var/gdm but does not exist. Please correct the configuration and restart GDM." after rebooting.
I tried to resolve the issue by setting permission for folder /var/gdm to 755. but the problem is still not resolved.

my environment :1.Debian 5 Lenny,2.LXDE,now my USB mouse behaviour is so strange as the following:1. when single click on the Start, then the Menu pops-up in very short time, it soon disappears. --------- what I get is my single click does not work here.2. when single click on the Terminal Shell or any Folder else, it will pop up two of them. ------------- what I get is that behaves like double click on those targets.3. when I open Iceweasel Browser for web surfing, when clicking on the Menus, none of them gives me response. and in web page which I opened, right-click in the context, nothing happened. --------what I get is that right click does not response.I tried some steps on configuration on X.org conf file under /etc/X11/xorg.conf, according to the results what I googled.... but there is still no outcomes till now.

Running Ubuntu Studio 10.04 with an MS wireless notebook optical mouse 4000. By default, my thumb button is acting as a "Forward" button, but I want it to be my "Back" button. I have not installed anything like imwheel, nor do I want to, especially because the button support is obviously already there, it just needs to be configured to a new command. My xorg.conf looks like this (at least the parts of it that I think are relevant,

I have tried messing with Emulate3Buttons and the ZAxisMappings, but there were no changes. Please tell me if I am in the right place? Or is there another program or something running already that is controlling my mouse.

So it's a beautiful day and I'll be happily using my computer when I realise that the screen is no longer showing that I'm typing or moving my mouse (or finger across a touch-pad). I can leave my computer in this frozen/crashed state for hours. My only recourse is to drain the battery or hold down the power button until the computer shuts down. The computer is a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop/notebook. As my memory serves, it has an ATI graphics thingy. Radeon 1400, maybe. But I've had the computer for years and this behaviour has emerged only the past couple of months, with seemingly increasing frequency.
The OS is
# uname -a
Linux polaris 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Jan 10 22:40:40 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
(aka Squeeze?)
Sometimes this happens within minutes of turning the computer on and logging into Gnome. Sometimes this happens only hours after I've started using the computer (mainly just surfing the web). Sometimes it is preceded by a loud boop sound and the following if I have console open, sometimes not. So maybe that's unrelated. But that happened just now so I thought I'd throw it in.
One weird thing: Usually this happens within an hour of starting to use the computer, but one occasion I noticed I had not had the problem for several hours. On that occasion, the only thing I noticed I was doing that was also unusual: I had turned on and forgotten about a kvm virtual machine. After I shut down the vm, I had about only a minute before the freeze. I'm surprised now that it hasn't frozen since I started typing thing. Maybe I should always keep this forum open in a browser window.

A couple of weeks ago I installed a new 4-core Lenovo PC and installed Squeeze on it - keeping it updated every day. When kdm or gnome display the login screen, my USB-connected keyboard and mouse don't react. When I then unplug and re-attach them into the same socket everything ist fine. Surely this can't be working as intended? I can however get into BIOS-Setup as usual during the initial boot-phase by pressing Crtl-S and F1. Things also are fine when selecting the debian version to run from the multi-boot screen.
I am enclosing the kern.log of the last boot below (don't know how to attach files!). In that I can see that on line 530 ist says New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=c03e (address: 5; optical Logitech mouse) and then on line 542 New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=c31c (address: 6; keyboard).
It seems to get "interesting again on line 632 etc. with the message usb 2-1.8: USB disconnect, address 6.

I just upgraded (via backup and install) from 11.1 to 11.2. SaX2 was perfect for configuring my IBM SpaceSaver (Trackpoint) USB keyboard, and my Logitech Marble Mouse. Now that SaX2 doesn't have the keyboard or mouse, eh... modules?, I don't know how I can configure them the way I'd like.
What now? I'd rather not have to use the on-screen keyboard every time I start up openSUSE to turn off NumLock... Do I have to manually edit /etc/xorg.conf now?

What's the centos-approved way to handle group environment configuration? Let's say there are users in, oh, 4 different groups. Let's use the usual suspects:
accounting
warehouse
admin
netadmin
and I want to set up environment variables and maybe some pathing that are specific to a given group. So that when 'joeblow', who is a member of group 'warehouse', logs in, the pathing and environment variables (and whatever else) that is needed for users in the 'warehouse' group is set up and configured.
What I was initially looking for was an /etc/groups.d, and in /etc/groups.d is
/etc/groups.d
accounting.sh
warehouse.sh
admin.sh
netadmin.sh
As part of the login process, the group memberships for the login username would be examined, and for each hit the respective /etc/groups.d/ script would be run. I'm not seeing anything like that, so I'm assuming centos uses some other mechanism, but I'm obviously not using the proper keyword mojo. Can someone point me to where this mechanism is described?

I've just installed CentOS-5.4 on an AMD64 box, dual boot with Windows 7 64, if that matters. At first I could not get the GUI to display at all, but fixed that using system-config-display. During installation, the keyboard (HP bluetooth set with mouse) worked fine in the GUI, but mouse did not. Now when it loads the GUI interface after booting, neither the keyboard or the mouse will work at all, therefore I can't navigate anywhere. I have done the yum update already as well, from init 3, but they still are not working. what I should do next, where to check?
