Got a Mouse working (2 button, PS2 mouse) using Xf86config - set to 2 button, on port /dev/psaux... Would love to get my "MS Trackball Optical" working though.... Message: 6 Subject: RE: OK...

Returnee to Linux - been away for a couple of years.... INstalled Slackware from fron of Linux Format Magazine... Text interface works fine (well, I can't find any problems with it)... The mouse works fine in this mode too.. Configged X-windows (oops X11 (?)) with xf86config, graphics work fine... Mouse doesn't... Hangs around in the top left hand corner and has to be coaxed out with a piece of Cheese..... And then it just zooms back again.... Using XF86config I have set the Mouse to 2 button, emulating 3, on port dev/mouse (the default)....

I perhaps misconfigured Xservers. I run XFree on a local i386 with FreeBSD 4.4, multiuser set on. In Xservers I entered the following line: :0 bsdbox local /usr/X11R6/bin/X I cannot use Xwrapper either (it freezes at the cross), and xinit refuses to launch on non-root account so I'm forced to log as root anyway. Running xauth I get the message: unable to open display :0. Leaving KDE xauth complains about removing the display: bad display name bsdbox:0 2 - KDE is working great and Gnome was, till I tried launching several window managers from the Control center. After having run Enlightenment and coming back to Sawfish, all the text in the menus and dialogs as well as the Control center had been replaced by little squares. Since then I upgraded XFree to XFree-4 (from the ports) but it did not change this (I don't see any change at all anyway with my previous version of XFree: did the new one replace it (after make install) or have I to do something else to enable it?). I thank you in advance for your help, E.

The Radeon 9000, at a first glance, is what the NV17 (better known as GeForce4 MX) should have been- a full fledged DX8.1 card for under $100 that will be able to handle most games out there today without a hiccup. </snip> Ref.http://www.amdmb.com/article-display.php?ArticleID=203&PageID=2 I still wonder wether trying to convince X it has to do with the 8500 might not help...
