help me start X?

as you probably guessed from the title, X isn't working...i had tthis problem ages ago, but fixed it by running xorgconfig but now, after i just installed debian...x doesnt work, and there is no xorgconfig... >.< im guessing its something invloving my mouse lol

heres the log file...

heres the config file...

Code:

(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice

        No such device.

(EE) Configured Mouse: cannot open input device

(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Configured Mouse"

(II) UnloadModule: "mouse"

(WW) No core pointer registered

No core pointer



Fatal server error:

failed to initialize core devices

there is a file called "mice" in /dev/input....so i dunno...its a microsoft PS/2 mouse btw...debian...2.4 kernel...

I think the command to configure xserver for debian is

#dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

Tux,

yea...thats it...but...i cant figure out where it writes the file to lol...it doesnt change XF86Config-4 so i still have the same problem =/

haven't used debian enough to help you out here...sorry.

Hi,

Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"

This is part of my config : you should use "dev/psaux" , /dev/input is for usb mice.

cheers

YAY! ty =) the mouse has to stay as "Configured Mouse" though...its referenced somewhere else, so when i change it, it says "no screens found"...but who cares, it works now! XD
