Site News :: 2.2 is out!

Where is there going ot be a release with the 2.6 Kernel... My Intel Pro Wireless 2915ABG card needs 2.6 to be able to run.

COM1 is usually /dev/ttyS0

but is not always so.

Try some of the other ports, maybe it will work. Boot with

dsl xsetup

and try some choices.

Ok, I will try that.

My friend had FBSD installed on here and I think that he upgraded the firmware for FBSD... Would that make the card inop in DSL??

I tried another Genius serial mouse 2 and second with 3 buttons bud still doesnt work.

I tried /dev/ttyS0 - 3. (My PC have only COM1 - 3F8 and COM2 2F8).

I think that is bug in DSL.

Have you checked what ports are being found during booting?

Either boot without the 'quiet' option or run dmesg in a terminal once booted. As your mouse isn't working you'll need to exit X with ctrl+alt+backspace, or boot to text mode (dsl 2 boot code).

You will see somewhere in the list of messages, whichever way you do it, something like:

ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

There may be more than one line like this if there are more ports on the system. Use the port numbers (e.g. ttyS00) in xsetup.
