RE: XFsetup
Is GPM loading through /etc/rcX.d? If so, then you'd need to point to /dev/gpmdata in XF86Setup instead of /dev/psaux or /dev/mouse. You can determine this by moving your mouse at the console. If you see the cursor moving (i.e. a grey rectangle), then GPM is running.

XFsetup
Hi, I am still trying to config xwindows. I have a ATI 16mg video card which I labeled as generic, as PS2 mouse. I downloaded the XF86_SVGA. When I run startx I still get no mouse and error returned FATAL SERVER ERROR Cannot open mouse (No such file - directory) What am I doing wrong? This is really getting me down now (smile) Thanks Eileen Orbell Software Internet Applications Capitol College mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't Fear the Penguin.
