I can't help much, but I've found that if I can't get a good /etc/X11/XF86Config file using xf86setup, I sometimes can if I use XF86Setup, and vice-versa. You might also check the first line of /etc/X11/Xserver to make sure it's pointing to the correct server (e.g. XF86_SVGA for SVGA-types, etc). You might also send the relevant sections of XF86Config so the folks here can see if anything looks wrong (I wouldn't see it probably, but others might). > Finally, I have added an ATX Form Card that has a P/S2 mouse connection > and two USB ports.

For your mouse, you might try /dev/psaux instead of /dev/mouse. Also, /dev/mouse might be a symlink to some other device, so if you want to use /dev/mouse you might need to re-link it to the correct device (again, probably /dev/psaux). > Any suggestions would be helpful. > > Thanks, > Don > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
