OK...Been running Slackware for a few days now,but I seem to have made a big mistake.
I changed the configuration for graphical login,now cannot use mouse.
And what's worse,when I try to get to a console(either thru the login window or CTRL+ALT+fx,it only shows a solid cusor,nothing else.
If I type,it just looks at me like I'm an idiot(Which I guess I am).
What can I do?
Remember,I can't use the mouse,or type anything.
Any help will be greatly appreciated


P.S. Using Slackware 10,KDE Login and desktop.All was working fine before I changed to GUI Login

CTRL+ALT+F6 gets me to a working console. What do I type to edit the inet file?(I know what I have to do to reverse what I did,but how do I edit in console?

hi there

u need to edit the /etc/X11/XF86conig file
if u cannot use mouse or KB then boot frm rescue CDor other live distro and edit ur file

regards

nano -w /path/to/file ctrl o plus enter to save ctrl x to exit

hey what make u shout like this????

copied from comprookie2000

" pico /path/to/file " ( type this as root and fill-in the path-to file ) ;
( after editing ) : " ctrl o " ; then hit " enter" to save.
use " ctrl x" to exit.

thats it.

edit : use pico instead of nano

Yes.How about a nice,plain,easy to understand version?

1st,the questions:
1: How do I edit ,in console,the files I originally changed in Xwindows
2:How do get the mouse(PS2) to work again in X? (xorgconfig did not work)


Please,in plain englis...the answer 'nano -w /path/to/file ctrl o plus enter to save ctrl x to exit" means
less to me than what colr toilet paper Bill Gates uses in his 3rd floor bathroom.(Newbie forum). A nice plain answer is appreciated.And 'nano' is not installed on my version of Slackware(V10)
