Just installed B05, Mouse wheel does not work.


Posts: 59

It's a super generic standard PS2 wheelmouse, nothing special about the mepis install, it's b05.??

Also, fstab? messed up

Also, I can't mount /mnt/hdb5

It says only root can mount it. It's a ext3 filesystem.

When I manually edit fstab my users can mount it but not write to it (permission denied). And when I reboot, fstab reverts back to not allowing anyone to mount it

Hello, i'd like to help you f

Hello, i'd like to help you for your mouse problem, but
??wich kernel do you use ?
Also if you want to be able as a user to mount other
partitions, then you have to move the fstab lines you
need over the #dynamic entries (i think), and edit
those line to have the "user" option.
(Dynamic mean they change as you bootup finds them.)

ex:?? /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat noauto,exec,umask=000 0 0
to : /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat noauto,user,exec,umask=000 0 0

Bye.

Which kernel?

I have a PS2 wheelmouse and it works fine in the 2.4 kernel, but if you are going to use 2.6 all the time, this is what you must do:
In the MepisSystemCenter go to Mouse & Display. Then select USB/kernel 2.6 (even tho your mouse is not USB)
Now your mouse should be fine in 2.6... Laughing out loud

some good info on automounting
