Hi folks, I've used DSL for a week and it rocks. However I have minor annoyances in X. I am running DSL embedded + Kqemu accelerator.

1) The arrow keys work fine in native console but don't work at all in xterm and in graphical applications they display as numbers (8 6 4 2 instead of moving around). Same for page up, down, etc. I had this problem from the beginning.
It  is very annoying as I can't use bash or mc from xterm!

2) As I have a UK keyboard, I have gone into runlevel 2 , run:
Code Sample
sudo loadkeys uk

and restarted X.
Since then, I have lost the mousewheel.
I have tried to roll back to previous settings but unsuccessfully.
I have renamed .xserverrc and restarted X but no joy.

3) Minor annoyance: Firefox won't resize, it will either maximise or iconify. All other graphical apps are ok.

Is there a way to reset the X configuration to the default settings? I really don't want to go to reinstalling everything.

Thank you

EDITED for posterity: I have reinstalled the whole lot, including accelerator, reset keyboard to uk and now everything is ok, apart from Firefox sticking maximized.
