Hi, I have attached a new mouse to a SuSE 10.2 machine, and going to
Yast, Hardware, Mouse to configure. However any change I make, either
testing or saving the configuration, throws up the following error:
Saving configuration failed.
The following report has been created:
SaX library: Success
X configuration: Parse error on line 97 of section
Modes in file /var/lib/sax/xorg.conf ModeLine dotclock expected
The section referred to from xorg.conf is:
Section "Modes"
Identifier "Modes[0]"
Modeline "1440x900" _60.00 106.50 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904
932 -HSync +VSync
EndSection
(line 97 is the Modeline line)
Can anyone see where the error is here? Or offer pointers on where I'm
needing to look?
Cheers,
Roger
Try...
Modeline "1440x900_60" 106.50 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 932 -HSync
+VSync
While I can edit the file with this change, it is overwritten with the
original error when going back to configure the mouse in Yast. Hmmm...
stuck!
I do note that there are 2 xorg.conf files, one in /etc/X11, this
problematic one in /var/lib/sax - I have no idea if this is relevant or
helpful info.
...configure the mouse then edit the file???
The mouse configuration window, on clicking OK, then forces either a
"Save" or "Test" option. Both throw up the complaint about the
xorg.conf line. At which point cancelling is the only way out. I don't
actually want to edit the file myself. This is a pretty strange
situation - I'm changing a mouse setting and can't because of a
mis-configuring of a video option. I'm not even at the point of getting
to the mouse settings I need to change - it is far too sensitive and the
wheel isn't scrolling properly...
