I recently installed the SLS 0.98pl5 distribution on my machine.
I had several problems, but was able to get it up and running,
install the latest kernel source, and remake the kernel.
I had several problems, but the two I'd like to address are:
1) MS Bus mouse doesn't work under X
2) Video Seven VRAM II video card not supported.
Upon boot I kept seeing the detection of and installation of
three different mouse drivers. When I ran X, the mouse wouldn't
work, so I thought maybe there was a problem with having too
many mice, so I changed the kernal to only install a MS Bus
mouse driver. Still didn't work. :-(
Upon boot, I was not given a proper choice of video modes to
chose from. Some of the resolutions I had to chose from were
not available on my video card. I I changed the kernel to
look for the Video Seven first rather than last, and I was
given a proper choice of options. None of which would actually
change to the proper video mode...
So my two questions are:
1) Any ideas on why the MS mouse isn't working under X?
2) Anyone have a Video Seven working under Linux?
