X does not start
Hello,
I recently installed woody (by ftp) on a first-generation iMac (code : 406, RAM : 32 MB); everything went fine, except that when typing "startx", or "startx kde", or "startx gnome", the system cannot do it. At the first start after installation, it proposed to fix the problem by configuring again the X server, and I said yes, but then nothing happened during 25 minutes (the on/off button had become red) and I finally had to switch off. Maybe I should have left it more time?
Anyway, the log message was saying this, among other things that seem less important:
"
(**) Configured Mouse : Protocol : "PS/2"
(**) Configured Mouse : Core Pointer
(EE) xf86OpenSerial : Cannot open device /dev/psaux
no such device
(EE) Configured Mouse :cannot open input device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Conf Mouse"
(**) Generic Mouse : protocol : "ImPS/2"

(WW) No core pointer registered
(II) XINPUT : Adding extended input device "Generic Mouse" (Type = Mouse)
no core pointer
Fatal Server error:

When reporting a problem, etc.."
Is there a solution?
