hello
i tried this on debian laptops but dint get any useful responses. hopefully someone here can help me.
here's my setup; woody -- 2.4.17 customized for acpi - gnome2 - gdm2
i recently upgraded to gnome2 and things were fine except that my fonts were smudgy. the font-HOWTO i was reading mentioned that certain apps like netscape can do better rendering if they can access microsoft font package. thats what i did. i found out from somewhere that the font package was called msttcorefonts and installed it with apt-get. debian configurator lead me through installing various msft fonts and then i restarted xfs and gdm. thats when i the problem started. i no longer have a display! :(
looking at the log files dint help much. maybe someone can read between the lines. am including the entire content on these links:

(**) Generic Mouse: Protocol: "ImPS/2" (**) Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" (**) Generic Mouse: always reports core events (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice No such device. (EE) Generic Mouse: cannot open input device (EE) PreInit failed for input device "Generic Mouse" (II) UnloadModule: "mouse" (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Configured Mouse" (type: MOUSE)
That's your problem-you don't have '/dev/input/mice'.
You have two mice?
Try 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86'ing the Generic Mouse out (keep the Configured Mouse) and see what happens.

looking anxiously for someone to help me.
