Good day, Thanks to help from several on this list, I am very close to getting my mouse and keyboard problems taken care of. I really appreciate the time out of your busy schedules.
Here is where I'm at currently. I'm so very close to fixing both problems. My mouse works in console mode just fine, in x not so fine. The line in the /etc/gpm.conf file reads : "type =PS/2", so I changed the same line to "type=PS/2" in the XF86Config file. In the /etc/gpm.conf file there is a symbolic link from /dev/mouse to /etc/gpmdata. However, in the /etc/gpm.conf.file, an earlier line reads: device "/etc/psaux". There is not a symbolic link between /dev/psaux to /dev/mouse. I took care of most of the keyboard problems, the only thing is that I have a microsoft natural keyboard, and I cannot use the number pad on the far right. Everything else on the keyboard works fine, and the server no longer sends me error messages when I try to start x. For your review, relevant sections of my XF86Config file as it now stands: ************************** keyboard section Protocol "standard" AutoRepeat 500 5 XkbModel "Microsoft" EndSection *************************** Section Pointer Protocol "PS/2" Device "/dev/gpmdata" BaudRate 1200 #ZaxisMapping 4 5 Buttons 3 EndSection ************************** X does start, and the pointer goes to the bottom of the screen, but it will only move back and forth across the bottom of the screen, but not up and down. regards, Bob Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fayetteville, Arkansas
