Greet the sun all, I successfully installed Debian potato onto my Compaq Armada E500. However, I cannot get X up and running. I looked at the Linux on Laptops site. Most of the examples had RH 6.* installations. I am trying to use the generic SVGA server. I used the xf86config (XConfigurator under Debian?) utility in an attempt to configure X. However, when I start X, I receive the following: System: '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -w 1 -R/usr/X11R6/lib/xkb -xkm -m us -em1 "The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:"-emp "> " -eml "Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server" keymap/xfree86 compiled/xfree86.xkm' Fatal server error: Cannot open mouse (No such file or directory) Anybody who runs Linux on a laptop have any idea if there is anything special to get a mouse working. I tried both Microsoft compatible and PS/2. Is there a special program for touchpad configuration? I had my PS/2 pluged-in when I tried this. -- Perry Hoekstra E-Commerce Architect Talent Software Service dutchman at mn.uswest.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
