also unavailable in the X.org release. 

     [Ben] That would be my best guess. From
     /usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/README.mouse (note the obvious escape
     clause):

     5.3 Resolution

     The following option will set the mouse device resolution to N counts per
     inch, if possible:

     Option "Resolution" "N"

     Not all mice and OSs can support this option. This option can be set in
     the XF86Setup program.

   Perhaps there is a workaround? 

     [Jason] Quoting from the xset manpage:

       m       The  m  option  controls  the  mouse  parameters.   The
               parameters for the mouse are `acceleration' and
               `threshold'.  The acceleration can be specified as an
               integer, or as  a  simple fraction.  The mouse, or
               whatever pointer the machine is connected to, will go
               `acceleration' times as fast when it travels more than
               `threshold' pixels in a  short  time.   This way,  the
               mouse can be used for precise alignment when it is moved
               slowly, yet it can be set to travel across the screen in
               a flick of the  wrist when  desired.   One or both
               parameters for the m option can be omitted, but if only
               one is given, it will be interpreted as the acceleration.
               If no parameters  or  the flag 'default' is used, the
               system defaults will be set.

     The  key to an ugly workaround is the fact that you can specify the
     acceleration as a simple fraction. Thus:

xset m 1/2 1

     ...will cut the speed in half. But you lose any acceleration features
     because you're using it to hack the mouse speed to where you want it. But
     if that doesn't bother you, this method is one option.

     [Ben] The fractional specification may work for you. Conversely, as Thomas
     suggested, the two distros may be using two different mouse drivers
     (compare the '"Option" "Device"' and '"Option" "Protocol"' lines in their
     X config files); if that's the case, then simply choose the one that works
     best for you, and do the final tweaking with "xset" from there.

Upgrading Quota

   Question by Breman (012832161 from mobitel.com.kh)
   Answered By Thomas Adam

   Dear Thomas, 

     [Thomas] Hello, Breman -

   May I ask you some questions below: 

     [Thomas] By all means. I've Cc'ed The Answer Gang on this, since I assume
     this is where you got my e-mail address. If you don't want this published,
     let me know.

   I have installed SuSe Linux 6.4 as a mail server. The current version of
   quota is 2.11 - what is the latest version? where can I get it? 

     [Thomas] Quota support is kernel and user-land. Therefore I can only
     assume that you are referring to the userland tools. Currently the version
     is at 3.12, available here:

     [83]http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/linuxquota/quota-3.12.tar
     .gz

   - How to update to the old version? please give me steps. 

     [Thomas] It's a case of removing the old quota tools and installing the
     new one. There's a number of ways you can do this. The INSTALL file within
     the tar file tells you all, and it should just be a simple matter of:

./configure && make && su -c 'make install'

     Note  that  by  default,  this will install into /usr/local/* -- if
     "/usr/local/bin" is not in your $PATH, before "/usr/bin" and you still
     have the old quota-tools installed, this will conflict. If, however,
     /usr/local/bin is listed before /usr/bin in your $PATH then this should
     not be a problem. But you should make sure you remove the old quota-tools,
     regardless.

   Thanks for your quick response and it helped me a lots.
