 Posted: Sat Jan 29, 2005 11:24 pm Post subject: openOffice [SOLVED], scrollwheel [SOLVED], sound [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I can't emerge oppenoffice as it has a missing keyword and portage complains about that. My system is AMD64 so it is compiled for 64bit operation. OpenIffice.org doesn't have binaries for the AMD64 platform nor does it offer the sources.
Another problem is my scrollwheel on my intellimouse explorer doesn't work. I have searched the forum and other areas and I still can't get it to work. Here is my xorg.conf
| Code: | Section "InputDebice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "XAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection |
Another problem is I am getting no sound. I have compiled my kernel for alsa support, oss support and emu101k as my soundcard is a soundblaster live!.
Any ideas?

About openoffice. It seems portage has a precompiled version for amd 64: http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=openoffice-bin
so just emerge openoffce-bin.
For the sound, did you unmute the sound channels (master and pcm) with alsamixer?? (Be sure to not only change the volume, but also unmute them (, or . I think)). |

First of all, having a "InputDebice" section won't do anything.
Also, search the forums. You can't do the Explorer like that. You need to set buttons to 7 and use imwheel and xmodmap. See the thread here.

Don't have alsamixer. If I was to emerge that I'd need like 15 packages and half of those are for gnome according to emerge -a gnome-alsamixer
(did an emerge -s alsamixer before and the gnome one is the only one that turned up)
Sorry about the InputDevice thing that was a typo. I did search the forum and I did stumble upon the thread you mentioned however imwheel is masked in portage for me so I can't use it. Or can I? |

I have alsa compiled in my kernel as well as the apropriate soundcard module for it. When I run amixer I get:
| Code: | | amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device |
Any ideas?
My mouse scrollwheel still doesn't work as imwheel is masked by portage. Here is my actual xorg.conf
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
# Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse.
# Option "Resolution" "256"
# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.
# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"
# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.
# Option "BaudRate" "9600"
# Option "SampleRate" "150"
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
# Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "XAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Option "ChordMiddle"
EndSection |
Any ideas for this? |

Ignore the mask. USE='~x86" or whatever should work. imwheel is perfectly stable, so just ignore the mask.

Ok will try that but that's the least of my worries.
I really want to know why amixer is telling me:
| Code: | | amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device |

Ok I ran alsaconf and it told me it managed to configure my soundcard. However running amixer STILL gives:
| Code: | | amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device |

| Ok got the sound working under root. Downloaded a gui mixer and it works except for controlling the treble and bass. Anyone know how to fix that? |

If alsa only works under root then you probably forgot to add your normal user to the audio group
| Code: | | usermod -G audio,wheel,users,games,cron <user> |

| Yea I discovered that while going through the handbook. However I can't control the bass and treble levels. I am using headphones so no possiblity of hardware controls. |

|

Ok I did add the user to the audio group but I still don't get access to the soundcard. Under root sound works no problem. Under any user (audio group or not) sound doesn't work and xmms complains that the soundcard is not configured properly.
Any ideas? |

Ok the sound is sorted. Silly me not selecting the right plugin (alsa) to use in xmms.
My IntelliMouse scrollwheel still doesn't work. I didn't use imwheel under suse 9.1 and it worked then so I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work without imwheel. (masked ~amd64 keyword) |
