I have sort of solved the problem by doing "modprobe psaux". That is, the
mouse is now found and X works again.
But the point remains that I shouldn't have to do this manually. Why
isn't it loaded automatically? (I am currently using kernel 2.0.36)
Cheers,

I had similar problems, the basic fix is to make a file in you home
directory called
.xinitrc
that contains the command (wmaker) that you want run on startup.

Hi,
I upgraded my deb 2.1 to potato. There were no error messages during
the upgrade, but now after the upgrade no window managers are starting.
I get just a blank xterm like stuff and if I run fvwm95, fvwm95 window
manager starts as expected. But it doesnt come automatically as we
log in.
