Hey,

I hope you can help me out with this. I've tried local news groups,
the Irish LUG and googling and I haven't come across anything to help me
out.

Problem is that when I start X from a console both my mouse and keyboard
hang. Gnome loads fine and everything, but I can't move the mouse,
alt+tab between, ctrl+alt+backspace out of X or even ctrl+alt+del to
restart the machine. I've to hit the reset button to restart the
computer.

This is on a fresh install of Debian (from Potato cd and apt-get to
upgrade packages), using X4.1.0.1 with compiled from source drivers for
the Nvidia GeForce 2MX card, and both the mouse and the keyboard are PS2. 
The strange thing is it was working fine Sunday morning, but afterwards 
I had to remove a 64mb DIMM from the machine because it's corrupt and now 
X fails everytime.

In case it helps, I used apt-get to install xserver-xfree86,
xserver-common, xfree86-common, xbase-clients and xfonts-base.

Machine is a p1333 Athlon, 512mb RAM, 64mb GeForce 2MX,
kernel-2.4.17-386, XFree86-4.1.0.1. Also, the machine isn't running gpm
(as I heard from a few people that that could be the cause of the mouse
not working in X).

Attached are both my XFree86.0.log and XF86Config-4.

Hope you can help somehow. Apologies for the long post and I hope I've
posted to the right forum.

Cheers.
