I just installed Debian 2.2r3 on a K6/2-300, 96mb RAM, Voodoo 3 3000 system. Tried to start xwindow by doing a "startx" at the command prompt, from a user account as opposed to root. I have not logged in as root yet. This system has a PS/2 mouse. During config, I told the system I had a PS/2 mouse, and set it up to (as near as I can tell) use the SVGALib video library. X has never started. Every time I try to launch it, I get the following: [begin error message] System: '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -w 1 -R/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -xkm -m en_US -em1 "The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:" -emp "> " -eml "Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the x server" keymap/xfree86 /var/tmp/xfree86.xkm' Fatal server error: Cannot open mouse (No such file or directory) [end error message] Any thoughts?

Post #1,221 by boxley 7/9/01 8:08:56 PM Reply	rerun the X nstall script and choose bus mouse. With redhat I get that error a lot as it switched from ps2 or busmouse that works on almost every other installation. thanx, bill can I have my ones and zeros back?
