to expand on Roberto's post a bit -- that would remove the *meta*-package x-window-system which pulled in a bunch of dependencies to build an x system for you. However, that package doesn't actually contain anything on its own so removing it won't really help. > > apt-get install x-window-system (from the net) > > Keeping in mind that I am a Debian newbie, does anybody see any > problems with this approach? I think its probably not going to help your situation. how about if you provide us the output of awk "/^\(WW\)|\(EE\)/" /var/log/<X-log-file-name-here> I can't remember what the log file name is for XF86, so you'll have to look for it. Also provide us a copy of your /etc/X11/XF86Config4 what kind of mouse, how is it attached? are you using any utility that might interfere with a mouse (I'm specifically thinking of gpm here). A
