Well the graphically interface is nice(I've been dealing with just console up to now), but it's not solving my problem (thanks anyway). I go through the configuration process, save it and it tells me that my server is now running. It then exits me to the console prompt. I run startx and it it gives me the same error(/dev/mouse, no such file or directory). I look in the /dev for a mouse file or directory and it is not there!! I will check to make sure that the serial port is working by booting it with a dos floppy and mouse.com.
