Dear All,
I have just installed Caldera Openlinux. In redhat I used to do mouse setup using command "mouseconfig". But here I dont know how to set up the mouse. Since my mouse (Logitech 3 button serial [tty1]) is misbehaving, please let me know howto setup mouse in caldera openlinux.

Also I have noted one more strange thing about the shell.
Say, I am in a directory containing install.sh
And being in the same directory i issue a command ./install.sh
But it says file not found. Strange!

Now also the window corordinates are setting the proper 800x600x16 x-window is being displayed improperly( on wrong x-y coordinates) on my 14" screen.

Also if I say shutdown -h now it terminates all the processes and puts a line power down, but the pc (with atx) dont get switch off as was the case with RH Linux

If anybody has an answer to these problems; please reply.
Thanks in advance.
Rajesh.

If it says "command not found/file not found" when you try to run a shell script, it means that you simply do not have that shell installed. If you're using Caldera OpenLinux 2.x, then you'll run into that problem. Caldera OpenLinux is a bit goofy to say the least.

Anyway, I'm sure that script's first line is:

#!/bin/sh

and I'm also sure that you don't have the sh shell installed. I am pretty sure that you have bash installed though... So, log in as root, and make a symbolic link called "sh" to the file "bash".

The command "ln -s bash sh" wil create a symbolic link named "sh" pointing to the file "bash" when executed from the /bin/ directory (do a "cd /bin" before doing this). Oh, and you have to do this as root.

With regards to your video problems, have you tried xvidtune? Use it with caution, though. xf86config can also help you solve your mouse problem.

A quick look through the HOWTOs at www.tldp.org will definitely prove fruitful for all of your problems.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply.
But my Logitech 3 button serial mouse is not working fine in Caldera Open Linux 3; so am not able to do even xvidtune.

There are a couple of ways to go about this... You can either use Caldera's own "lizard" configurator (I do not rememeber what the command was to configure the mouse, you may have to read the manual on the web). You can also try xf86config, which is a text tool. It's pretty straightforward at configuring mice.
