Hi,
I've just installed DEBIAN (Woody) on my machine. When I run startx to
launch X, it seems to launch X, I see the cross mouse cursor, (I can move
the mouse cursor) the KDE screen pops up, goes through the first couple of
icons on the startup screen (looks like a nucleus and electrons type icon,
then a cog icon), then flashes the keyboard/mouse icon, then goes back to
standard console screen.
The logfile at: /var/log/XFree86.0.log shows:
(**) Configured Mouse: Protocol: "PS/2"
(**) Option "SendCoreEvents"
(**) Configured Mouse: always reports core events
(**) Option "CorePointer"
(**) Configured Mouse: Core Pointer
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
(==) Configured Mouse: Buttons: 3
(**) Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
(**) Configured Mouse: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50
(**) Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
(**) Configured Mouse: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Configured Mouse" (type: MOUSE)

The /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file contains:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"

EndSection
It used to contain the following:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
But this didn't work either. Things seem to point to the fact that it fails
on the mouse/keyboard, but the error log isn't particularly helpful really.
Any ideas anyone? What is particularly strange is that if I run XFree86
instead of startx, I get the standard X screen (not KDE), and I can control
the mouse fine. So perhaps it isn't the mouse that is the problem.
The other thing that's a bit wierd is that I was sure during install I chose
gdm to be my default window manager - where is this set? Where is X told
which manager to use?
So, any ideas as to either how to fix this or where to look would be *very
very* welcome.
Thanks, Roland.
