User Feedback :: Mouse Problem

D'oh! You aren't talking about a blue box asking about Xvesa/Xfbdev are you? It's not supposed to have mouse! Just use the arrow keys and enter..

THis is a box in center that starts off talking about getting started and where start is.

Hmmm, that shouldn't be an issue at all. Did you run xsetup.sh? You can run it as a cheatcode when you boot.

Or you can hit ctrl-alt-backspace to kill X. At the console prompt, type xsetup.sh (and enter). Answer the questions. When you get to another console prompt, type startx (and enter).
