Looks like you are using XF86cfg to setup your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. The problem with that program is, that it uses /dev/mouse as the mouse device, but usually the mouse is connected to /dev/psaux. So I solved this problem by removing /dev/mouse and setting a symbolic link that is called /dev/mouse and that is pointing to /dev/psaux instead. > I've installed Red Hat, Mandrake, and SuSE on this machine with no > probs.

But keep in mind that in SuSE (AFAIK) the config file is named /etc/X11/XF86Config and in Woody with X 4.x it is named /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. > (Everything worked perfectly the first time, BTW, installing woody on my > sister's old iMac, but I want it on my laptop.) Well, Woody is running here fine on my Laptop. Even with PCMCIA ethernet card :-) Hope that helps Rainer -- Rainer König, Diplom-Informatiker (FH), Augsburg, Germany -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
