[gentoo-user] xorg config
Okay, so i'm experimenting with the split kde ebuilds, having done a kde-meta the last time. However, when I did that, I got all my hardware configured and set up automatically somehow. when I just did emerge kdebase-startkde, It won't allow me to go beyond 640x480. So I ran xorgconfig, and now I've apparently picked the wrong mouse (it's a usb trackball) port and nothing works. Is there a script that will set all this for me? I really, REALLY hate mucking about in that stupid xorg.conf file. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Xorg -configure yeah, did that. problem is that said it couldn't determine my mouse...so I booted to the live cd and looked at what /dev/mouse was symlinked to. /dev/input/mice. why that symlink didn't get created here, i don't know. but I put it in and it works...now i've just got to figure out how to get more than 640x480 resolution..
