well i used x-confiure and the new xorg.conf file it made but then it went and logged me in but up to the screen with a mouse cursor on the screen but it didnt move with my cordless mouse that is, I could try my corded one, but I dont see what diffrence it would make with it freezing.
And the screen you got was nothing more than a black screen with a mouse pointer?
If the only problem, now, is that you cannot use the mouse, chances are you merely need to try another driver. But, from the description you give me, I still cannot tell whether you are still experiencing graphical problems or whether X is actually loading properly.
