Hi all. I have just started using DSL and I have to say, I am very impressed! Good work. AND withing 8 hours of falling for it, I converted a debian guru to DSL over a couple of rye and gingers. It makes my life so easy. Except....
Here's my setup
I am trying to put together a Linux demo model that highlights how great linux can be with thje stuff that ain the cats p-j's
It must have video, audio, be fast with minimal memory and an old cpu ie pentium 11, 111 amd k6
what's inside:
IBM Aptiva 2170 model 19U (if you go to ibm.com and enter this you will find the base spcs of this box).
amd k6 450 3dnow.
---> I read somewhere that mplayer likes sse and mmx...
128mb + 64 MB sdram (pc133)
How can I get MPlayer to work under this condition? or is there another dsl package that I can use?
2) I am having a reral pain trying to get a commmon ms wheel mouse to start.
the USB mouse works great! but if I run the live disk with the PS2 mouse, I suffer from an xserver failure and it won't load. I can reconfigure manually, and it loads, but the mouse just doesn't work. However, the same mouse in a separate machine works just fine. All I am left with is manual mouseconfig. Tried all the combinations I could think of and not one works. All I am left with is a) I am an idiot and this is a simple problem someone else had, b) the ps2 connector is busted (but the keybvoard lights up when it is plugged into it)
HELP!
