Question How do I change mouse back to the one that worked


I just finished x86config, but chose the wrong mouse driver and now it just zips around KDE with no accuracy at all. How do change the driver back, it worked fine during the install. I use a cordless keyboard and mouse, with the PS2 connected receiver. Any feed back would be great.

YOU NEED TO SPOON FEED ME, i'M A nEWBIE!!!

Thanks alot guys

or type

gedit /etc/X11/XF86Config

the hi light the appropriate section and copy and paste it


gedit calls the gnome text editor
and /etc/X11/XF86Config tells it to open that file in the text editor

the same command works for all editors you have installed

eg/

kate /etc/X11......

vi /etc/X11/.... (vi is a bit scary without doing a tutorial on it first)

kwrite /etc/X11/....
