you might want to make sure the cyrillic directory (usually /usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic) is in your font paths, e.g., in your X config, /etc/fonts/, ~/.fonts.conf, etc. otherwise, afaik it should work with the default kernel options, did you upgrade your kernel? does it screw up with all browsers or just one?

mouse type: change from what to what? can't really help without more info.

With all browser I got the same thing.For the mouse I want to make it form two button to two buttons with scroll.Because I am newbie in slackware I will look in the path you mentioned.And I'll try to fix the problem.

Your mouse settings are in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

If you want to get your scroll wheel to work you'll have to have the the following line in your mouse section of that file.

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Here's mine to show you the context:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

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

Hope that helps
