Problems with mouse + X
For some reason, X wont startup, saying Screens found; none usable. When Debian prompts me to configure X, my mouse refuses to work. If I select anything from Mouse Configuration, it exits out and leaves me at a blank screen, unable to get back to the terminal. I tried using Expert Mode to change my mouse to /dev/psaux, but it seems to always default back to /dev/mouse. If you can think of anything I can do at the console to fix this, it would be much appreciated. The X config program never cleanly exits and makes me sit through the root check everytime I startup Linux. Thanks in advance, Chris

I've always gotten my working configurations by using xf86config then manually changing /etc/X11/XF86Config to a state that works and is customised the way I want. -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
