Hi, I've just installed the X11 distribution (xbase, xserver-s3 and xfntbase). When I try startx it comes back with "no mouse found" or a message to that effect.
I am using a Dell P120t with a bus mouse connected to the on board interface. I see quit a few "mouse" devices in /dev. Which one is active? How can I extract this information without having to turn to the experts? A minor observation on the Web sites I have looked at so far with respect Linux and Debian. From my point of view as a UNIX user, DOS/Windows/Embedded programmer there is very little on-line information available that I can make sense of. Probably in 6 months time I'll understand about half of it.... Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, maybe the philosophy is only those who know can learn, maybe I don't have the right IQ, but the fact is that up till now I have come up to a brick wall. The information available in the HOWTOs is very good, but from an initial startup point of view, if things go wrong I need to browse through a couple of MB of data, not very productive. As I said, maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, please any advice that may be advantageous.
