Hi,
Since you didn't tell us what you have already tried, please check these
things. I'm sorry if this is redundant.
When you compiled your kernel, did you include the "Standard/generic serial
support"? It can either be compiled in the kernel or as a module but you need
it to get the mouse sup
See /etc/X11/XF86Config and in there section "ServerFlags". Uncomment the line
that reads "DontZap" and that should do it. Man XF86Config tells more.

When I installed Debian I had problems with my 3c509 net card and PnP SB 32
sound card. The 3c509 wasn't detected before I got the isapnp tools (pnpdump
and isapnp). I added the following lines in /etc/init.d/boot :
if [ -x /sbin/pnpdump ]
then
echo "Deconfiguring PnP devices"

There seem to be at least two Debian packages that have some kind of memory
test programs. There's memtest86 in utils/hwtools and memtest in
utils/sysutils. Don't know though if NMI has anything to do with memory.

Hi,
I also noticed this a while ago and found the answer from

A couple of days ago I complained about XF86Setup not working. The setup

In the monitor section XF86Setup asks for the horizontal and vertical sync

and 60 for

for the runtime linker (ld.so) are created.
