The PS/2 mouse driver psm in FreeBSD versions 3.2 or earlier has difficulty with some wheel mice, including Logitech model M-S48 and its OEM siblings. Apply the following patch to /sys/i386/isa/psm.c and rebuild the kernel.

I have a tape backup connected to the onboard floppy controller, but the tape unit is not working correctly. The onboard floppy controller is only capable of 500Kb/sec transfer; some tape units such as the Iomega Ditto 3.2GB or the Colorado T3000 requires the controller to be at least capable of 1Mb/sec transfer. A workaround solution is to use a dedicated adapter card, which most tape drives provide as an option. Cyrix 6x86 CPUs run hotter than Intel Pentiums.

In rare cases the driver may erroneously report synchronization problem and you may see the kernel message: psmintr: out of sync (xxxx != yyyy) If this happens, disable the synchronization check code by setting the driver flags for the PS/2 mouse driver to 0x100. Enter UserConfig by giving the -c option at the boot prompt: boot: -c

There have been some reports that certain model of PS/2 mouse from MouseSystems works only if it is put into the ''high resolution'' mode. Otherwise, the mouse cursor may jump to the upper-left corner of the screen every so often. Specify the flags 0x04 to the PS/2 mouse driver to put the mouse into the high resolution mode. Enter UserConfig by giving the -c option at the boot prompt: boot: -c

To date, there’s no “genuine” mouse wheel support in Geogrid products. Operation of the mouse wheel is purely coincidental, depending on the mouse driver installed. The next version of Geogrid (e.g. in the Top50 Version 5) will include scrolling with the mouse wheel and the “hand symbol” for moving the map.

If you are running a post-2.2.5 version of FreeBSD, the necessary driver, psm, is included and enabled in the kernel. The kernel should detect your PS/2 mouse at boot time. If you are running a previous but relatively recent version of FreeBSD (2.1.x or better) then you can simply enable it in the kernel configuration menu at installation time, otherwise later with -c at the boot: prompt. It is disabled by default, so you will need to enable it explicitly.

Thanks to Bart Dumon, we have a solution on this: Bart made a screenshot of the game, modified it in photoshop and saved it as a windows bmp file. Then he leeched a simple icon editor, imported the image, set the transparent background and saved it as a .CUR file. And then you can use it as a mouse cursor in windows. The above is a windows desktop theme, this sounds easier because most people tend to use the desktop theme manager in the control panel.

How can you wrap text using the Font tool? There are alignment buttons (including justified) but they have little effect since I can't work out how to make the text wrap. How do I get GIMP to be by default image tool i.e. I installed another program & it is now associated to auto-opening them.

Your configuration is incorrect. You must indicate the neighbors of every screen. Just because you've configured 'Apple' to be to the left of 'Orange' does not mean that 'Orange' is to the right of 'Apple'. You must provide both in the configuration.

Because you told it to. If you list 'Orange' to be to the left of 'Orange' then moving the mouse off the left edge of 'Orange' will make it jump to the right edge. Remove the offending line from the configuration if you don't want that behavior.

This is not a standard C++ feature — C++ doesn't even require your system to have a screen. That means every operating system and vendor does it somewhat differently. Please read the documentation that came with your compiler for details on your particular installation.

Support for the Microsoft Intellimouse is enabled in our X Windows setup by default; however, you must configure a few extra options in your ~/.Xdefaults file in order to get it to work with some applications (such as Netscape). You can find the text to be added on the Colas Nahaboo X mouse wheel scroll page. Simply copy the text for the application program(s) you require, paste it into your ~/.

The touch screen is attached to the computer via its own serial link to the serial com port or to the USB controller. Co-ordinates are then passed to a mouse driver which translates the mouse cursor movements on the touch screen to the computer. By calibrating the projected image size produced, a mapped image is created. This need only be executed once providing the image size is not changed.

Each button specifies a function within the software being used. The more functions that need to be called out within the software, the more buttons the user will need on their cursor.

It's easy as 123! Move the cursor rapidly by using the Home, End, PgUp, PgDn keys. Or, use these keys, or the arrow keys, in conjunction with the Ctrl or the Alt key, to move the cursor rapidly. To select items from the menus, simply press a hot key. When you see file-directories, begin typing the filename and the cursor jumps to it. CalcuScribe also offers the GoTo command to jump to any line in your file.

Emacs is incompatible with the latest versions of mouse wheel devices. To get your mouse wheel to work with Emacs, you'll need to select some options in the device setup panels. Intellimouse: To use the wheel as a middle button, select "Standard behavior" and "Paste on one click". To use the wheel, disable "Universal Scrolling".

Answer: During hookup make sure that you are installing your PS/2 mouse with your system powered off, otherwise you could permanently damage the Motherboard.

My video player (TV tuner, game) doesn't seem to work correctly when running Aston but everything is OK when I switch back to Explorer.
