Mmm, dunno what else you can do. Have you another mouse handy you can try?

simcox1 12-13-2007 07:00 AM
Post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please. Also the output from this:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i ee

H_TeXMeX_H 12-13-2007 10:47 AM
'su' into root from the CLI and run 'xorgsetup', this is a good way to auto-detect your mouse (and other things).

phantom_cyph 12-13-2007 11:03 AM
Sweet, I'll try as soon as I get home. (at school now)

phantom_cyph 12-13-2007 03:24 PM
Brilliant. Did that and when starting X, my screen says it can't handle the signal. Its a 19" widescreen monitor. It showed up fine before, just the mouse didnt work.

phantom_cyph 12-13-2007 03:38 PM
I've tried rewriting the monitor section in xorg.conf, but to no avail. 24 colors, low resolution (800x600) and low refresh rate, and my monitor keeps saying "Input Signal Out Of Range".

H_TeXMeX_H 12-13-2007 03:39 PM
Can you post your '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' ?

phantom_cyph 12-13-2007 03:40 PM
I don't know how to in command line.

Actually, I think I can.

ok, try
Code:
ls -l /dev/mouse
it should be a symlink to psaux

change modes to your monitor default resolution
adjust horizsync and vertrefresh rates according to monitor specs

H_TeXMeX_H 12-13-2007 04:25 PM
For now, just so you can get into Xserver, change the:
Code:
        Driver      "ati"
to
Code:
        Driver      "vesa"
You can also try adding more modes:
Code:
Modes    "800 x 600"
to
Code:
Modes    "1024 x 768" "800 x 600" "640 x 480"
OR
no modes at all (delete the line).

phantom_cyph 12-13-2007 05:02 PM
Eh, I just installed Debian Etch again. I'll try this for while again. Slackware on my laptop, Debian on my desktop, thats not too bad. I just can't afford not having my desktop up. Thanks everyone!

Alien_Hominid 12-13-2007 11:30 PM
You could have dual-boot desktop.

simcox1 12-14-2007 01:41 AM
Did you remember to install the modules package? The huge26.s has a separate modules package (in /extra?). If you didn't install it a lot of things won't work, including your mouse.
