Hi all, I have finally corrected the font problem at start-up. The last remaining problem was then that it couldn't open /dev/input/mouse. So I changed the config file so that it use /dev/psaux (This should be the right port as I receive data from the my PS/2 mouse on it). But unfortunately, the server doesn't start properly. I don't see any evident message in the logs. When the server start, I can see the cross-pointer and gray screen about 1 second, and then it returns to the console. Below are the logs generated when doing startx, and at the end of this mail, the config file as well. If someone could tell me what to do, I'll be very gratefull. My System is : Latests stable Debian release on a IBM Netvista computer, with Mouse 2 buttons in PS/2. ***** Logs ***** XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) Release Date: 21 December 2001 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
