In add'n to the lack of a mouse response (which I discussed below), I have noticed that the $DISPLAY variable is not set (I thought X or Gnome was supposed to do that). Could this be part of the problem?
I did $ export DISPLAY=:0.0 then killed and restarted x/gdm.
At which point I got a display with twm and still no mouse response! What in the world is going on here?

Svein Erik,
Thanks for your helpful suggestions which *almost* solved my problems.
With one exception I followed all your suggestions. BTW I have a three-button mouse. Also I checked the pciid and that seems correct.
When X and then gdm start up, everything looks fine except I have *no* mouse control - the
mouse is completely unresponsive. BTW I noticed this is true even during the couple secs
that X is running, but Gnome has not yet started.
What else can I try now to get control back of my mouse?
Thx,
Richard
P. S. The one suggestion that did not work was to substitute "savage" for "vesa". Using "savage"
just shuts down my display entirely!

Hi!
Take away Option "CorePointer" from the mouse0input sectction. And change this line Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 to Screen "Screen0" 0 0
Is it a scrollmouse? If yes:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
If no: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Buttons" "3" # number of buttons Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" # If only 2 buttons true, if 3 buttons false EndSection
You could also try the savage module for XFree instead of the vesa module.
Change Driver "savage" in the device section for Card0.
also run 'lspci' and see what the pciid is for you card.
I hope this can help!

XFree Folks,Richard F Freund <RFreund@xxxxxxxxxxx> 18/09 7:42 >>>
I am currenlyt having some X-based mouse problems. Svein Erik Kro had a couple preliminary suggestions, but reminded me that I should send the relevant files (which are now attached).
To recap:
a. I have been using 4.3 with Debian Woody for months now without any problems.
b. A few days ago, I started to have two problems:
- my color depth was only 8 bits, so I added an Option to the
config file to specify 16 as default and this solved that problem
- mouse problems. Depending on various settings in the InputDevice
section, my mouse either does not respond or is super-accelerated. In
either case, it is unusable.
The settings I have in the attached config file cause the superaccelerated mouse (also constantly opening/closing menus/panels).
Besides the two attached files, you need to know that I have a soft link /dev/mouse -> dev/psaux
One other thing, xset q reports 'unable to open display'.
Your comments greatly appreciated.
Thx,
Richard
