xorg + failed to initialize core devices

Thaidog · 12-17-2006, 05:21 AM

I am getting an xorg "failed to initialize core devices" error when trying to startx after installing ATI drivers and configuring the card with "aticonfig".

The Xorg log can be viewed here:

Check the mouse configuration in your xorg.conf

The problem is that '/dev/mouse' is not a correct path, at least for your system 'n' that's the error.

Maybe will be '/dev/mice' or '/dev/misc/psaux' or something similar....
