VMD-L Mailing List

I'm trying to run VMD-1.8.2 on a Fedora Core 2 machine (with a
recompiled 2.6.6 kernel so the NVIDIA drivers work). I set the
VMDSPACEBALLPORT variable to point to /dev/ttyS0 because that is where
the spaceball is connected (serial port 1). When I start VMD it tells
me that it cannot find the Spaceball port. I ran an `lsmod` on the
system and saw that I was missing the seria modules (serial_cs and
parport_serial). I loaded them and VMD still cannot recognize the
Spaceball. My guess is that it might be an issue with the 2.6 kernel
having the dev entry for the serial port somewhere else. Or it might
just be the 2.6 kernel all together. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
