RE: My mouse wont work...No X

[Rick Commo]

What kind of mouse is it - PS2, PSAUX, Serial?  Or...what kind of a motherboard in your system - AT?  ATX?  Alternatively, what kind of computer.    We need a little more info.   I have an AT mother board that uses the serial mouse.  When I installed I had to go to mouse using the accelerator keys to get to the mouse page.  Think it was <alt>M, then I had to hit "n" to put the cursor into the edit field and then I typed "/dev/ttyS0" (that's a zero at the end).  I then hit "a" to apply the change and bingo the mouse worked.   You could have a similar kind of problem with a similar kind of fix.   Cheers, -rick   -----Original Message----- From: Lorens Kulla [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 13, 2001 7:16 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: My mouse wont work...No X I have just installed Debian potato. I have my internet connection established. I can't seem to get X running. I keep getting a mouse error. Can't find the device. I have tried XF86Setup numerous times. I have a Logitech Mouseman mouse. I have not had a problem in RH/Mandrake/Caldera. I have been itching to try Debian but I need a GUI to get the rest of the household on the Linux path. Any help would be appreciated.   Lorens Kulla Lakeville, MA
