Perhaps you need to "modprobe psmouse"? > > -- > Kent igloo:/dev# uname -a Linux igloo 2.4.25-1-686 #1 Tue Feb 24 10:55:59 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux Yes, the file is there igloo:/dev# ls -l | grep psaux crw------- 1 root root 10, 1 Mar 14 2002 psaux The box is a basic woody install. Then I altered my source.list file, changing "stable" to "testing". I assume that this is the way to upgrade to sarge. I installed x-windows-system. Now I'm at this point where X doesn't want to run, possibly due to the mouse. This machine did run X on woody before. It got reformatted as a Gentoo box, then reformatted again to it's current state. igloo:/dev# modprobe psmouse modprobe: Can't locate module psmouse You think I should boot back into 2.4.18-bf2.4 or whatever it is...? -- Ed --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
