slitt@troubleshooters.com Sir: 10.06.02 I'm running Red Hat 7.1 on a Toshiba laptop and I'm having trouble finding all the config files to do with the mouse. Current error message is: Oops (): invoked from gpm.c 984 /dev/mouse I/O error Now, I've bought all the thick books and have searched exhaustively on the net to find someone to help me, but I can't even get the mouse working in the Xwindows and shell at the same time. The latest is I've somehow deleted the /dev/mouse directory. I know of 2 config files, namely /etc/sysconfig/mouse and /etc/X11/XF86config but the question is, are there more? Is it preferable to do it by hand or use programs like gpm? I think the trouble started when I ran gpm and selected the 'no mouse' option. That's when the directory went. XF86 starts up but the mouse is frozen. What I need is to know is how to get to all config file concerned with the configuration of a certain thing. There could be up to 5 or 6 sometimes, right? Hope you can send me some good links with easy to post on notice boards, etc, because I'm drowning here.
