I set my host name and instead of compiling modules I simply compiled
directly into the kernel. Also, I'm not sure why my mouse isn't
recognized. dmesg shows it when I plug it in.
I've attached my XF86Config file.
Also here are a couple relevant lines out of my /usr/src/linux/.compile
CONFIG_AGP=y
# CONFIG_AGP_INTEL is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_I810 is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_VIA is not set
CONFIG_AGP_AMD=y
# CONFIG_AGP_AMD_8151 is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_ALI is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA is not set
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1600
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=1200
CONFIG_BUSMOUSE=m
# CONFIG_ATIXL_BUSMOUSE is not set
CONFIG_LOGIBUSMOUSE=m
# CONFIG_MS_BUSMOUSE is not set
CONFIG_MOUSE=y
# CONFIG_PSMOUSE is not set
# CONFIG_82C710_MOUSE is not set
# CONFIG_MK712_MOUSE is not set

What should I do now?
Thanks,
Harold
