Re: help with x server
Hi...
Still stuck with the same problem. I tried looking for hid and usbmouse
modules at the suggested sites, but could not locate them. Not quite sure
what to do now. Does this mean that for my version of kernel (2.2.20)
these modules are not available and I should be getting a newer version ?
There must be surely someway to use a USB mouse. And apart from that, my
keyboard isnt USB, why does that fail ? My log and config files are pasted
below.
Lost and confused....
Thanks.
