Hmm... Mandrake snorfled it, hmm... let's see if X's utility can guess your mouse. First, get a Konsole or a term, or whatever, and try the command, as root:
init 3
That should kill X-windows and get you to a login prompt. Now log in as root and try:
X -configure
The screen will blink a few times and then tell you what to do to test X-windows, go ahead and run the command it tells you. To get out of the test:
ctrl+alt+backspace
That -configure command created a file that is a decent guess at what X should be set to. It'll have a section for the mouse in it, should look something like:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
EndSection
except of course, not PS/2...
to look at yours, from the command line:
more /root/XF86Config.new
If that test looked okay and the mouse worked, first backup your old XF86Config with:
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config /root/XF86Config.old
and then copy over the test file to where it'll get read:
cp /root/XF86Config.new /etc/X11/XF86Config
Now, let's get the heck out of runlevel 3 and back to 5:
init 5
or...
reboot
Hmm... If the resolution sucks with the new file, just edit the old file and change all the mouse info to match the above kinds section.
Cheers,
Finegan
