Moron X not working

[hammack]

Thanks to Mark and Mike for your response I have tried to respond and rewrite my problems.  Thanks gents.  John                               [EMAIL PROTECTED]     After initiating "startx" a window comes up with a menu.  I am not sure this is an X window or the window manager.  But the mouse cursor is not present and the mouse buttons are not effective.  At this point I don't think the screen is frozen because initially "enlightenment" scrawls in the center of the screen.  The mouse is a kensington track ball.  If necessay I would get another pointing device.  But it was working under an OLD ver of Slackware.  It works under windows as a PS/2.  I captured the startx log it is attached.  Note that xinit reports, "connection to X server lost." This may terminated X and therefor the mouse never gets a chance to work.    Just prior to that report the following is also reported: The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: " emp " > " -eml " Errors from xkb comp are not fatal to the X server.   XF86Config originally generated Device as "/dev/mouse" I changed it to, Device   "/dev/psaux."  It still doesn't work.    See below: 1.  startx startup log. 2.  SuperProbe log 3.  Other notes   Hardware:  PII 266 mhz 64MB, 2MB on Diamond, kensington TB (PS/2) OS: Linux 2.2.17 pre10 i686 [ELF] X manager = enlightenment Problem:  startx results with screen and no cursor.  - Blue/green screen appears with menu and a few horizontal lines. - "enlightenment" scrawls and dissappeears. - no cursor is present - ctrl-alt-BS exits the window.   Some output of startx  expaned version below   Configured Drivers: SVGA  (the S3_VIRGE/VX driver did not work) mouse: type PS/2, device /dev/psaux, button 3.

Other questions from startx as follows: startx has following lines: variable=$HOME/.xinitrc  <= not present in HOME variable=$HOME/.serverrc <= not present in HOME variable=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc variable=""""""""""""""""""""""""/xserverrc  But the following is true     xinitrc -> /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc  (xinitrc is                                         there)     xserverrc -> /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc  (no file)     A find on *xserverrc* list it only at the dir above listed in startx.   Any help is greatly appreciated.   [EMAIL PROTECTED]   See below: 1.  startx startup log. 2.  SuperProbe log 3.  Other notes   -------------------------------     startx startup log  -----------------------------   XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: January 8 2000  If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if         your card is newer  than the above date, look for a newer version         before reporting  problems.  (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ) Operating System: Linux 2.2.17pre10 i686 [ELF] Configured drivers:   SVGA: server for SVGA graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 1):         s3_virge, All Modeline options deleted        XF86Config: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config (**) stands for supplied, (--) stands for probed/default values (**) XKB: keymap: "xfree86(us)" (overrides other XKB settings) (**) Mouse: type: PS/2, device: /dev/mouse, buttons: 3 (**) SVGA: Graphics device ID: "Diamond " (**) SVGA: Monitor ID: "FairView" (--) SVGA: Mode "800x600" needs hsync freq of 35.16 kHz.
