Hi Harry,
your XFree86.log says:
>(WW) No core pointer registered
>(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Generic Mouse" (type: MOUSE)
>No core pointer
>Fatal server error:
>failed to initialize core devices
Your mouse isn't configured correctly, and thus XFree denies to start.
Please delete all other mouse configs from your XFree86 config file and add
this one instead:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Then add to your "ServerLayout" section:
InputDevice "Generic Mouse"
and check your /dev/input/mice entry:
c3000:/dev/input# ls -la /dev/input/mice
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 63 Feb 21 2002 /dev/input/mice
and if it does not exist run the following two commands:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV input
