Have you been able to get the integration and summation symbols to appear correctly when using Mathtype in Wine on Linux?

There seems to be something messed up with the fonts. If I create a...

Answered my own question. Alt-F5 will show the list of windows and the applications that are open within each window. The only drawback is that it only shows windows that have something open in...

Has anyone come up with a convenient way to switch between virtual desktops.

In KDE, on the taskbar there is an "up arrow" displayed, and if one clicks on it a list of desktops appears along...

Oh, ........ and I thought it was a woman interfering. :) I was going to have to talk to your relationship manager.....

That may have been my problem. I may have been starting and stopping btnx as I added more button functionality. I'll just wait to see what happens when I'm back on that machine again this evening.

I finally got btnx working under Mandriva. I copied the btnx executable to /etc/rc.d/init.d and edited /etc/rc5.d/S99local and added the line /etc/init.d/btnx -b start

One problem that I've...

It kind of looks like this is a dead issue for distributions other than *buntu. Does anyone know where to find the documentation to set up mouse buttons using the "standard" methodology? That way...

How did your install of Mandriva 2008 go? Which version did you install? After the installation of btnx you will notice that btnx appears in the Mandriva Control Center (menu item Configure Your...

Be careful!!! There is always the possibility that you will like Mandriva more than Ubuntu. :biggrin:

Still no go. Easiest way to recreate the problem is just to click the "Restart btnx" button in btnx-config. The btnx-config application hangs at that point. I can see that btnx has started, but my...

I would get claustrophobic with only one screen. :)

My problem only seems to exist when /etc/udev/rules.d/99-btnx.rules is there. When I remove 99-btnx.rules the system boots fine. I had to try...

I didn't have to do any uninstalling of btnx, because I just did a new install of Mandriva 2008.0 (not an upgrade, but a new isntall.)

My previously installed btnx (on Mandriva 2008.0 a couple of...

Will try. Probably won't get to it until about 1700 EDT, after I get home.

Well, it was a no go. :( The system hangs at boot with a "starting udev" To bypass that point I key a CTRL Z. The bring up process then continues, sometimes with a mouse, sometimes without. I...

I'm anxious to try it out. It will have to wait until I get home from work, but will report back as soon as I can. Thanks much! :)

If I attempt to start it using Mandriva Control Center I get:
/etc/init.d/btnx: line 70: start-stop-daemon: command not found
/etc/init.d/btnx: line 79: start-stop-daemon: command not found

If...

Commenting out line 34 (reference to vars.sh) which then caused the following errors:

/etc/init.d/btnx: line 130: log_daemon_msg: command not found
/etc/init.d/btnx: line 70: start-stop_daemon:...

When attempting to start the btnx service I get the error message, "/etc/init.d/btnx: line 34: /lib/init/vars.sh: No such file or directory"

Any ideas?

Sorry for the confusion, I was just being stupid. :oops: I didn't have the source installed. Sigh..... Am now in the process of detecting, etc. Thanks much.

You mean you've been letting a real life get in the way of your btnx work? :confused:

I am getting the following error when I attempt ./configure:

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GTK... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >=
2.10.11)...

A GUI front end? What could possibly be next!!!! I want it to make coffee. :)

Everything seems to work right. I think the thumb buttons are backwards as mentioned in another post, but haven't fixed it yet. InputDevice section of xorg.conf follows:


Section "InputDevice"

Actually my xorg.conf looks exactly the way you wanted. I added "modprobe uinput", a directory change, and ./btnx to /etc/rc.d/rc.local for Mandriva 2007.1 so that stuff would auto load.

Now I...

Think I have success now. Issue seems to have been with my xorg.conf. I did get the "3C" and "3D" with a wheel left and wheel right in a shell console. Now to be about exploring. Thanks much for...
