Make sure you have the packages "discover1" (for 2.6 kernels) or
"discover" (for 2.4 kernels) installed, as well as "xresprobe",
"mdetect", "read-edid" and, if applicable, "laptop-detect".
Then run (as root)
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and you should get a proper configuration. If the mouse still fails you
can run (again as root)
mdetect -x
to see which settings are correct.
Your graphics card should be supported by the "sis" driver and the
configuration dialog should allow you to select the appropriate
resolution(s).
Oh, so *that's* the difference between 'discover' and 'discover1'! I
wondered about that, but in my laziness I hadn't investigated yet. I
kept wondering if I should remove 'discover1' and install 'discover'
(the two packages conflict) because whatever documentation I'd read said
you need 'discover' if you want auto-detection. I never saw anything
about 'discover1.' But I kinda figured the system knew best what it
needed ... at least, I hoped so.
It seems to me a simple line in the package descriptions of each would
clear up any potential for confusion.
Well now I know -- thanks!
