roberts,

When I try to get to a character based terminal (Ctl-Alt-F2) it boots into X with the same problem. Is it possible to get to a terminal in X with just the keyboard and no mouse useage? Then I would be able to look at config files, etc.

You could start without X (i.e. boot into runlevel 2 or 3 with the corresponding cheatcode) or kill X to get back to the tty (ctrl alt backspace).  I'm not aware of any default keyboard shortcuts.

showbootcodes

root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm nodma noscsi frugal

cat .xserverrc

exec /usr/bin X11/Xvesa -mouse "/dev/psaux",5 -screen 1024x768x32 -shadow -nolisten tcp -I &>/dev/null

cat /etc/sysconfig/knoppix | grep -i mouse

MOUSE_FULLNAME="Generic PS/2 Wheel Mouse"
MOUSE_DEVICE="/dev/psaux"

The display is a little odd. It shifts between normal and soomething that looks like a color "negative". I have experienced this previously and the mouse worked fine, so I don't think the display issue is related to the mouse problem.
