Linux settings

[Timbo]

I was just hoping someone could tell me if there is any way to discover kernel (and system) settings from my curent system. I'm guessing when I ran make xconfig the old .config file was over writen. Help is always apreciated.

:confused: Timbo

try uname -r

more details in MAN ARCH or MAN UNAME

look at /etc/rc.d/rc.local in my install there is a script that reads system config stuff and trys to shove it into /etc/issue

[Timbo]

Unfortunately uname and arch are not what I had in mind. uname -r gives me a simple response "2.4.2-2" I was thinking more along the lines of what nodes I have installed, what drivers are build into the kernel, that sort of thing. However, if anyone out there is using a Microsoft laser point mouse (USB) and knows how to configure it, could you please post that information? I've tryed including, in modules, all relevant (and some irelevant) drivers for USB when configuring my kernel and it still doesn't work. Thanks.

i have kde 2.2beta1 installed and it has a feature called Linux Kernel Configurator. It tells you all ur kernel optinos. It get the file from /usr/src/linux/.config and interprets it.

[Fondor]

that might not work if you ran xconfig, but did you save the new config file or just exit xconfig without saving?

Is there the defconfig (default config from the original install) in /usr/src/linux/arch or somewhere's around there.

[Timbo]

defconfig does exist in that directory, but it's not the configeration of my current system. It can't be, it doesn't even have my processor right, and when I compile it, I still don't have my mouse. Does anyone know how to configure a Microsoft IntelliMouse laser mouse?
