USB optical mouse problems!!!

Dapper Dan

I've spent the better part of today in vain trying to get my mouse configured. It's a Logitech USB optical scroll mouse. The weird thing is, just yesterday it was working perfectly! To retrace, I installed Slackware 10 Sunday and quickly had my mouse configured and working perfectly.

ASRock K7VT4A+; via-rhine; snd-via82xx: Very ugly...

felixbecker2

I have just gotten a new System for christmas: ASRock K7VT4A+ Motherboard (with Sempron 2600+; because of the fixed multilier and the slow RAM (266MHz) only clocked at 1,465GHz rather than 1,83 GHz), and this motherboard seems to be the cheapest one and is not working well.

Nvidia GeForce MX 4000 problems!!

Dapper Dan

My old TI 42000 GeForce 4 ran perfectly. This one is giving me fits! It says right on the box that it's Linux compatible, and it works perfectly with the nv drivers. Looks great. The problems begin when loading the nvidia 3d Accelerator drivers.
