ok here we go

#1 i have this mouse hooked up to my moms laptop
http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_.../search=ibm optical mouse/ut=4422d3be24370ba0

its an IBM usb/optical mouse

i compiled HID, and some other USB things into my kernel

but im not quite sure how to set it up in my XF86Config-4 file, since knoppix didnt do it for me!

so i need help doign that

#2 is there a way i can ssh into a computer with no password?
if i just hit ENTER, it wont work

#3 is there a way to get the mozilla-firebird libraries to load up at the start of gnome?

#1 For your XF86Config you'll probably need to specify the protocol like:

Code:

    Section "InputDevice"
      # Identifier and driver
         Identifier  "Mouse1"
         Driver  "mouse"
         Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
         Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"

I'm not positive on the Device knoppix uses though.

#2 On the computer you'll be connecting from and using the account you be connecting with use ssh-keygen:

Code:

ssh-keygen -t dsa

Accept the default file names (.ssh/id_dsa and .ssh/id_dsa.pub) and don't specify a password. scp the pub key to the remote machine:

Code:

scp .ssh/id_dsa.pub user@host:.ssh/authorized_keys2

This assumes you don't already have an authorized_keys2 file (if you did you'd probably know how to do this

). However, if you have one just copy it as id_dsa.tmp or something and concatenate it with the authorized_keys2 file. Remove the pub key file from the machine on which you created it. You should now be able to ssh user@host and the remote prompt will just appear.

Don't use gnome so no idea on #3. But I imagine gnome has an autostart file or option somewhere in that mess of a config directory
