This is where I'd start; I'd see if I could fix the kbd and mouse issue. Google returned a hit at http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=8510&sid=2796a3ae02b988a9a8ef71fee66b3906 which suggested (between the lines) "modprobe mouse" for the mouse problem. Another hit I found indicated a problem with udev (not being installed). Try "cat /dev/<mousedevice>", where <mousedevice> is the device file for your mouse connection, such as "/dev/input/mice", etc and then move your mouse around. You should see a lot of ASCII garbage show up on the screen. (Ctrl-C to stop the cat.) This will verify if your mouse is being seen by the system. Also, does "lspci" report your video card to be on 1:0:0? -- Kent West Westing Peacefully <http://kentwest.blogspot.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
