In fact, here is the mouse detection line: input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse on isa0060/serio1 The mouse is in fact an intellimouse PS/2. The terminal interface can use the mouse (aptitude, for example) but X doesn't find it, even though xserver-xorg-input-mouse is installed. X is also unable to install the "savage" module for my vga card, even though the terminal interface can use the card and xserver-xorg-video-savage is installed. My apt sources list points to stable, not etch (which is how I got here through Synaptic). That shouldn't be an issue, right? > P.S. I have a feeling this is rather related to udev, modules, ... Did > you try using a different mouse? No, I haven't, it's the only non-USB mouse I have left. This is the same PS/2 mouse that Sarge detected properly on this same hardware. In fact, all the hardware is the same as for my last Sarge install. In another thread, someone suggested "dpkg-reconfigure udev" for other hardware detection problems, so I tried it. That refuses to run because it wants a more recent kernel. -- Seth Goodman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
