Hi team,

My DSL : 1.0.1
My PC : Compaq Presario 1255/64mb ram/4gb disk/Touchpad

I installed a optical mouse on ps2 port, configure use, xsetup.sh with option ps2 mouse, no usb. NO work and touchpad turn crazy.

Ok, later install XFree86.dsl module (I read a post message here) ... NO work.

Please, any idea? Thx

I plugged a USB mouse and it works fine. The problem is only with the PS2 mouse.

In the first section of your XF86Config-4 file, check to see if it shows that
your PS/2 mouse is the one selected...

--snip--

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier     "XFree86 Configured"
Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice    "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer"
# Serial Mouse not detected
# USB Mouse not detected
EndSection

--snip--

My optical ps/2 mouse works fine with this setup using Xfree86.

Ok, I need read more of XFree86, not found the XF86Config-4 only, have more files with extensions to VGA cards models available en my /home/dsl/XFree86_config_files. I use the neomagic driver.

Only on this folder have X files. I think with my install is wrong.
The lines descriptes for ke4nt1 not found. Any idea?

Thx all !
