Thanks Guys, for your help. I need a little more, I tried pointing to my mouse through the XF86Config to both /dev/ttyS1 and /dev/ttyS1 but that didn't change anything. I pointed to my mouse through the XF86Config file to /dev/psaux and it at least is recognizing it but when I move it around it just kinda goes wacky. There is no controlling it. Also I noticed as the computer is booting up it says "Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card . Could this be the issue?
Also how do I know if I'm running gpm? Oh and one more thing when X Windows opens up there is a load window that slowly loads "something" I'm not sure what. Any clue about that? As you can see I the Newbiest-of-Newbies with Linux. Thanks for any help.
