ps2 mouse w/embedded..... &..... desktop manager

I’m configuruing photon 2.0 for an embedded board and currently have two
situations:

  1. I have a ps2 mouse attached to my embedded board, my script contains the
    line:
    devi-hirun -b kbd fd -d/dev/kbd ps2 kb -2 &
    When photon starts I can see a very tiny dot instead of the pointer, and
    when I shutdown I see:
    Open failed: 2

  2. When right-clicking the mouse the desktop manager appears, but if I click
    on the item I want to run nothing happens. I have verified the programs are
    in the PATH variable, HOME=/, my /.ph/wm/wm.menu script is as follows:
    =Desktop Menu
    Terminal T pterm
    Voyager V voyager -P/usr/photon/bin/vserver
    -4
    Shelf Config… S shelf -c
    -4
    Shutdown… u phshutdown

For either problem, is there another environment variable that must be set,
or could I be missing a shared library?

TIA,
wendy

Are you running devc-con… it’s actually managing the keyboard controller?

You also need phcursor.phf installed… it’s a font. Pointer cursors come from
that font.

Oops… I’ve been eliminating files from the font directory
By the way, I’ve been to your website… I enjoyed reading some of your
poetry…

Groovy… I guess that implies your cursor problem is fixed… did that open
error in the console go away too?

BTW - Thanks for your kind remarks on my poetry, and you reminded me that

Yes, but I still can’t run the programs out of the desktop manager when I
right-click the mouse…
