Toshiba laptop install: can't get X or mouse to work

[Mark Phillips <mark@ist.flinders.edu.au>]

Hi,

I am trying to install Debian on a Toshiba 410CS laptop.  I am having
problems creating a XF86Config file which will work.  It complains that
there is no mode "800x600" or something like that.  But in the setup
I specified this as one of the modes.  Any ideas?

The second problem is that the mouse doesn't work.  The documentation
seems to suggest that it is a PS/2 mouse.  Can anyone confirm this?
But I don't know whether this is a serial or bus mouse.  And I don't
know what dev file to use.  I tried /dev/ttyS0 but this doesn't
seem to work.  Any ideas?

Thanks.
