My X won't work with the default installation.

Someone Suggested that I boot knoppix and copy /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 from there to my hd and reboot.  I did that.  X started but with no
         

mouse movement.  Just a cursor.
         

Get out of X11 to a plain text screen.
   

Since X won't start that isn't a problem.

 

Move the mouse. Do you see a white cursor block moving around on the screen?
   

No.

 

If you do, then you have gpm installed/running. If not, then no gpm.
   

Appearantly I have no gpm.  I was surprised when I had no text mode
mouse but figured that it was something I could use.
Is this somethihg I might be able to install?

 

Yes. "apt-get install gpm".
