You said that it works in Coral which is a Debian Distribution. With the Coral cd loaded look at /etc/etc/X11/XF86Config and see what mouse protocal they are using. Also, are you trying to load version 3 or version 4 of X? Since you say Coral works, I would guess that X works under version 3. Also, don't attempt to run gpm and X at the same time. On Version 3 of X you have to match your Video Card with the default X Server. Now with the Corel GUI Install they use the VGA16 xserver at 640x480 resolution at 8bpp for the install process just like windows falls back on. Needless to say you want to run a much nicer screen when you have the system installed so you need to match your hardware with the appropriate XServer. I would hazard to guess that your mouse is running as psaux if it is a standard mouse. I hope that this helps in some way LeRoy On Tue, Dec 31, 2002 at 12:03:04AM -0500, Bill Patterson wrote: > Continuing, I could not find anything in /var/log/XFree86, so I reran--this time > including all packages (including Chinese) and making one big partition with no > swapfiles--and got the same problem.
