Two things here: One, for what it is worth, I don't use Xorg-configure, as it just doesn't work for me half the time. Something ends up not getting discovered correctly. I use xorgconfig instead. It is a little more trouble answering the questions, but I always get a good workable configuration, that has all the stuff in the configuration file, making it easy two tweak. Two, I don't see how an inoperable mouse and trying to create a liveCD is "on the same note". You'd probably get better answers if you were to list your issues individually. You have one great big paragraph up there, with at least 4 different questions/issues. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 08:51:00 up 16 days, 8:24, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.00 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
