USB mouse won't workForum: HD Install Topic: USB mouse won't work started by: yds Posted by yds on June 27 2005,02:38
Just did a HD install of DSL. It won't detect my USB mouse (it did when I did CD boot previously). What do I need to do to get it to detect my mouse. And as a bonus, how can I also get it to detect my touchpad mouse (I'm running DSL on my Dell laptop)? Posted by cbagger01 on June 27 2005,04:50
Press CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to return to the text mode.Type: xsetup.sh and choose "USB MOUSE" along with your other preferences. Then type: startx to restart the graphical mode. Posted by yds on June 28 2005,01:14
cbagger - thanks for the input. Tried it, input the info through xsetup.sh, but it keeps wanting to go back to the default setup once I run startx. Is there any way I can edit a config file to set my mouse to USB? If so, where is that config file? Posted by cbagger01 on June 28 2005,08:57
The config file is located at:/home/dsl/.xserverrc You can edit it directly by typing: nano /home/dsl/.xserverrc or beaver /home/dsl/.xserverrc If you want to see it inside Emelfm file manager, make sure to press the "H" button because all files that start with a "." are considered to be hidden files. |
