Problem with startx on Slackware 11
Hi, i can't startx due to a mouse problem:
cannot open device /dev/mouse No such device. (EE) Mouse1: Cannot open input device I told the installer that I was using an USB mouse (which I'm not, because I'm on a laptop right now and I chose it because I use USB mouse often, but not right now) I tried to find out the answer searching in the forum, but the closest thing I could get is that I need to open "/dev/mouse", but when I do it, I get the following error: Permission denied. I am logged in as root. So I hope you can help me on how to get permission, or better yet, how to startX. Thursgun. |
You shouldn't be trying to start X as root, let alone being logged in as root without having a good reason to do so.
Anyway, the problem is likely that your /etc/X11/xorg.conf has the line Code:
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Code:
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" |
