I have a new mouse… An Optical Microsoft Intellimouse with 5 buttons and a scrollwheel. This makes 7 buttons in total… This is what I use in my XFree86-4 config file

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier  "Mouse0"
  Driver      "mouse"
  Option      "CorePointer"
  Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
  Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
  Option      "Buttons" "7"
  Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
  Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Don’t forget to add the lineInputDevice “Mouse0″to the section Section “ServerLayout”

Here is my howto section about familiar/gpe2/opie on my iPAQ 3900 series (H3970)HowTo H3900I’m now installing familiar 0.7, so I can document some stuff…

Okay, this is what I did to install Familiar, a Linux distro for PocketPC. First what I needed was a serial program like ‘minicom’, and for xmodem upload capabillities I needed ‘lrzsz’. So under debian you do on your PC:

apt-get install minicom lrzsz

Then you go to this page and follow the instructions realy good!! Familiar v0.7 Installation Instructions. It is possible that there is a newer version but the instructions are the same. Please keep this in mind: Installing the bootloader is a very important part! This is the only part you have to be carefull to keep your iPAQ alive! The rest can be repaired very easaly, but when you mess up your bootloader you can turn your iPAQ into a ‘brick’. (Don’t be scared, just be carefull!)

Oops, I did it again… Sorry, I can’t e-mail… So you all have to wait till I (I think Bart has to do his magic again…) fix it..

Only to use Quanta 3 I downgraded my laptop from Sarge to Woody, but not without manny shit! But I’m online again. To use KDE3.x on Woody, I used this in my sources.list ‘deb http://ktown.kde.org/~nolden/kde stable main’ And then apt-get update, and apt-get install kdebase quanta… And there we have quanta 3 ;-) AIAIAI

Just bought an iPAQ 3970. Nice pda! Fast, sound, bluetouth, and PCMCIA capebillities (needs an expansion pack) Now trying to install GNU/Linux on it. Found a project that runs on the 3900 siries. Installing Familiar on H3900
