OK, this worked when I reinstalled from the cd again. I now have the X login screen and my mouse even works. The problem I have now is that I didn't create a second user id during the install. The gui won't let me log in as root, even into the failsafe sessions. Is there any other way of getting in to create another user without having to restart the install ?
Also, does anyone know anything about the Xircom nic ?
