Sir:            10.06.02

I'm running Red Hat 7.1 on a Toshiba laptop and I'm having trouble finding 
all the config files to do with the mouse. Current error message is:

Oops (): invoked from gpm.c 984 /dev/mouse I/O error

Now, I've bought all the thick books and have searched exhaustively on the 
net to find someone to help me, but I can't even get the mouse working in 
the Xwindows and shell at the same time. The latest is I've somehow deleted 
the /dev/mouse directory. I know of 2 config files, namely 
/etc/sysconfig/mouse and /etc/X11/XF86config but the question is, are there 
more? Is it preferable to do it by hand or use programs like gpm? I think 
the trouble started when I ran gpm and selected the 'no mouse' option. 
That's when the directory went. XF86 starts up but the mouse is frozen.

What I need is to know is how to get to all config file concerned with the 
configuration of a certain thing. There could be up to 5 or 6 sometimes, 
right? Hope you can send me some good links with easy to post on notice 
boards, etc, because I'm drowning here.

Thanks,
Weaver (from far north Queensland, Australia)
