I have tried to look my cd (Debian 2.2r0) but I cannot find xserver-sis I am sure it is stored in Debian web site. Could you tell me how to download this driver through windows. (I use Windows 2000 to connect to internet via LAN in office) By the way, I have another question to ask: Can more than one device share with one IRQ? 1. I have found my on board LAN adapter details (in Windows Device Manager): SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter I/O: D400-D4FF, IRQ: 9 2. And on board SOUND adapter C-Media CM8738 Audio I/O: 9800-98FF, IRQ: 9, PCI Bus 0 3. MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device I/O: 0330-0331, IRQ: 9, on C-Media CM8738 Audio I tried to change LAN adapter's IRQ from 9 to 11, but windows did not allow me to change to any IRQ. Well, it is another story. > > Last night I "dpkg" xserver-svga driver, and then run XF86Setup, and > > eventually I got my X server running on 1024x768 mode.

But after I reboot Debian and type # startx X server looks ok apart from the PS/2 mouse pointer does not move. So, I just use keyboard to test some programs which all work fine. Therefore, I ran XF86Setup again. After I selected PS/2 mouse, and pressed "apply", mouse pointer still stayed where it was. Then I selected any other mouse (not PS/2 of course), then key "apply". After I have done this, I selected PS/2 mouse again, then it worked. It would not work if I restart x server. I have tried several times, the results were the same.
