consistent keyboard and mice assignment

[Michael P. <mp...@op...>]

Hope this helps Sebastian and others...
After I got fed up with hotplug, I created a simple and reliable way to
assign keyboards and mice consistently.  They can be plugged in anywhere
you want, but will always be in the same order.
You can find this script buried in the tar file I posted at:
http://groovix.com/linuxconsole.html
but here is a direct link to the most important script:
http://groovix.com/reassign_input_devices.groovix
which you can have run at startup. Also, be sure to change your
XF86Config-4 file to use the mice at /dev/input/ordered_mice/mouseX

Ubuntu beats linux-ruby

[Aivils <ai...@un...>]

Hi All!

	Ubuntu current xorg (6.8.2-10) contains all patches , which is
necessary for multiseat X starting:
013_novtswitch.diff
018_sharevts_option.diff
053_lnx_evdev.diff
054_lnx_evdev_mouse.diff
055_lnx_evdev_keyboard.diff
080_pci_isolate_device_feature.diff

That means 2nd X server never activate tty, use /dev/input/eventXX
as keyboard device. Without any kernel patch.

If this goes wide, then our linux-ruby tty handling became unnecessary.

About time a X server uses the input interface.

I disagree. There still is resource contention to deal with. Also you 
might want to use X windows along side another application on another 
terminal. The biggest thing is that in the future X windows will no longer 
access any hardware. All hardware access will be moved to embedded OpenGL.
The next generation of X server is XGL if you want to take a look at it.

Not unnecessary.  People still want to use the consoles too. :-)

Hardware and software advice request

[Daniel L. <dan...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I built a Ruby setup a year ago, and I'm about to try a new one. I've 
been lurking here on the list to stay up to date, but can somebody offer 
me some advice please?

I'm looking to build a Ruby system with 3 heads, and I thought that some 
basic PCI NVidia MX4000 would work fine. Has anyone had any good or bad 
experience with these? Can one of them be AGP with no problems?

On a different subject, I also notice Svetljo has some new server space 
and many new RPMs - 
http://mandrake.contactel.cz/people/svetljo/mandrake/kernel/RPMS/ - Does 
anyone know which RPMs work well with the Mandrake 10.1 distro ... or 
even Mandriva 10.2 Limited Edition?

Thank you for any help you can offer,

Dan Leong
