hey people,
anyone here got an ibm thinkpad t30? anyway, i just did a fresh install
on this, completely formatting and removing rh9. i have a logitech usb
optical mouse, which i use as an alternative to my touchpad/pointing
stick on my thinkpad t30. it used to both work at the same time on rh9.
now when i installed fedora, only the usb mouse works. is there any way
to get the usb to work, but still keep the touchpad/pointing stick to
work as well? what exactly do i need to add to X's configuration?
next question... irda. i've loaded /etc/rc.d/init.d/irda. irda is binded
to /dev/ttyS1. when i use pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyS1 -L, i can list what
is on my palm. this only works as root. i've already chmod'd /dev/ttyS1
to 777, made a symbolic link to it called /dev/pilot. loaded up
pilot-xfer -L, and, as my normal user, it says it can't bind to
/dev/pilot. is there anything else i have to do to make it work with a
normal account? this used to work with rh9, where a simple change of
permissions work. i've already tried changing owner to my account, but
it still doesn't work.
argh.
thanks in advance.

extra question: is it appropriate for people to reply "thanks" to
answers that work? or is it better to just leave it, saving some people
the bother of downloading unnecessary email? thanks =)
