Sniff, still having issues ;(

Here is the whole process I did to install that driver.

1 - I've extracted the tar file in my home directory
2 - Go in this directory where files have been extracted
3 - loggin as root
4 - Logout from X (as requested)
5 - Unplug the mouse (as requested)
6 - Log in with the current user as ssh
7 - type su to be root
8 - run command "/usr/ccs/bin/make reallyinstall"

And here is the output I have

Code:
/usr/ccs/bin/make reallyinstall
doing install of 64bit module
cp sun4u/usbsm /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/`isainfo -n`
cp: cannot access sun4u/usbsm
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `copydrv_64'

Any idea on what's going on?

ps : sorry for being an hassle again jlliagre, you definitely deserve a "thanks" for your patience.

Did you compile the driver (make all) ?
You might need to create the sun4u/usbsm directory first.

Oups, my bad, didn't do the "make all" command ;(

So, I've just done it (using a standard user) but got another problem

Code:
make all
gcc -m64 -D__sparcv9  -O -Wall -fno-builtin -D_KERNEL  -g -c -o sun4u/usbsm.o usbsm.c
sh: gcc: not found
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `sun4u/usbsm.o'

It seems that gcc is not installed.

Dunno if I'll be able to set up that mouse Smilie.

That's one of the reasons why I wrote "If you are adventurous" ;-)

You can find a gcc package for Solaris 8 here.

OK, I fully understand why you said that Smilie Can't say I wasn't aware Smilie.

Any idea which one I should pick?

From my understanding, I would pick this one
GNUgcc.3.4.4 -> SPARC64

Is that correct?

Also, I've just finished modifying the azerty.map (for my keyboard issue). Thanks a lot, it just works perfectly fine.

Just have a little problem with it. Do you know how I can set that azerty.map to start automatically during the boot process?

Because, at the moment, when the computer starts up, at logon screen, it's a qwerty keyboard and only after I type "xmodmap azerty.map" the keyboard goes fr.

Is there a way to get a fr keyboard for the logon screen?

Thanks a lot again for your precious help, you really made my day.
ps : you definitely deserve another thanks

I would pick that compiler too.

I guess you could add the xmodmap command is one of the scripts used by the CDE dtlogin process, but I'm afraid I can't tell which one. I haven't really hacked Solaris 8 since ages ...
