Hi Guys and Gals,
sorry to bother again, I am still struggling with getting Xorg to start on my
system (debian testing, 2.6.7 kernel). I have used essentially the same
settings as previously with xfree86. When I enter startx, I get a message that
no device can be opened for the mouse
xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mouse0
If I go cat /dev/input/mouse0 (or /dev/psaux or /dev/input/mice) no device is
ffound. This is strange because they are the same devices that always worked
previously. Could this have to do with some unresolved conflict between xfree86
and xorg? I would greatly appreciate any tips,
thanks
Peter
Add this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "ServerFlags"
AllowMouseOpenFail # allows the server to start up even if the mouse
doesn't work
EndSection
This basically allows you to startx even if mouse detection fails. If it
works then you can configure mouse at a later point of time.
