Hi there. I'm relatively new to Linux(awesome OS), and just got the SLS releaseoff of susnsite(0.99pl6). I'm tring to configure X to run on my machine, which is: generic 486DX-50 VLB motherboard, trident tvga8900c video card with 1meg ram, maxtor LXT340A IDE hard drive, a three button serial mouse. I finally got X
up and running(it defaults to the open windows manager) but I have this problem:
The mouse, once started is generally unresponsive. I can move it repeatedly,
and it occasionally "jumps" around the screen. When I depress a button, it
then takes a while to respond. I only have 4mb of RAM, and I'm swapping to a
12 mb swapfile. Is the mouse problems due to the lack of ram, or something I
overlooked? Any suggestion appreciated.
Also, I'm using the e2fs for my main partition. What is the proper method to run
e2fsck?
Thanks,
Jonathan Ward
