Re: [SLUG] Installing X on Debian stable.

quote(Terry Collins);
1) what d I need to install to get X + gnome going?

$ apt-get install x-window-system-core gnome-core

debconf will help configure all.

2) Or how do you fix /dev/input/mice not working?
(which is just one of the possible causes).

hotplug should load the appropriate modules for this.

In all honesty, you're better off getting a sarge ISO since it has all
sorts of automagic hotplug love.

[SLUG] Installing X on Debian stable.

[Terry Collins]

Okay. I used the first CD of Debian woody to install a basic system, 
then ftp/http sources for Debian stable for everything else.


Problem is getting X installed and going. Started reading and it seems X 
on Debian stable is now something entirely different.


Two questions

1) what d I need to install to get X + gnome going?


Or

2) Or how do you fix /dev/input/mice not working?
(which is just one of the possible causes).
