Hello.
I am trying to install Linux 8. The system detects all my hardware properly; the only change I make is to the mouse, identifying it as an MS Intellimouse PS/2, which it is.
The X system welcome screen consists of two boxes, one acqua inside one blue, with two buttons labeled with what look like random characters. When I enter my local name and password, I am passed on to another screen; when I hit enter, I come to a virtual console prompt.
When I type startx, I get a message "fatal server error; no screens found."
I am also told that I have encountered fatal error IO, error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests.
And:
XFree86 detected mouse at device /dev/mouse. If the mouse is still not operational do something or other about the protocol.
Could the above symptoms be caused by my changing what the system detects as the mouse?
