- Hi and kudos to all linuxers.
- Some more questions ... ;)
-
- 1) I read FAQ, FAQ.serial, and RELNOTE.97 and could not
- find out how do you create busmouse device (major,
- minor). I understand it is probably created by .97 root
- disk but do I have to download 1.2 M to learn how to do it ? ;)
- 2) I using MicrosoftBusmouse patch. Would above be what am I
- suppose to do (ie: is /dev/mouse refering to busmouse
- device?
-
- 3) To all X users. I've become one of them (finaly) - big
- thanx to Rick Faith for his driver.
- Now I've been playing with Xconfig and I thing I
- undestand video.tutorial quite well. I can create any
- setting and it works almost always. Problem is that my
- monitor only sysncs at 31.5 35.2 and 35.5 kHz
- (Magnavox-Philips 7CM321) and is interlaced. To get
- better resolotions I have to use interlaccedness.
- (spelling !) If I follow calculations to
- create something around 1024x768 normally I get ~40Hz
- refresh. Obvious from calculations I get screen flickers like
- crazy. Now I need interlacdness. If I put 'interlace' in
- flag field screen starts to flicker even more crazely!
- So I thought (knowing nothing about interlacedness but
- its dictionary meaning) I need to cut vertical timings by
- half. Yeah, I got realy nice picture, but X thinks I only
- have half the screen. It starts panning if I move my
- cursor below half screen. Now picture is really nice seems
- to be right resol'n and good refresh rate. If I drag a
- window down its bottom part starts to disappar below 'bout two thirds
- of the screen util my mouse hits half the screen when the
- panning kicks in.
-
- Please help! and thanx again for systems and patience!
- (Year ago when I first saw X at school I would never
- think I get it at home - and unix. Times change. Fast!)
