I just recently installed Debian 2.1r2 and am trying to get everything up and running. I just installed XFree86 4.0.1 off of a CD I have. Everything video card related seems to be working fine, but it's having trouble with my keyboard. Here's what I did: Installed the binary distribution for glibc20 using the Xinstall.sh script. I then used the command 'XFree86 -configure' to configure the X server. Everything was configured except for configuring my mouse and keyboard. I then tried running 'XFree86 -configure X86Conf.new' just to see what would happen (I'm not 100% sure that was the command) it generated the log file XFREE860.LOG (attached). I then changed my mouse settings in X86Conf.new (attached) from: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" EndSection to: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" EndSection I then tried running 'XFree86 -configure X86Conf.new' again. This time X started but froze up. The screen froze on the default background, with the cursor in the middle of the screen. There was also about an inch of blackspace around the edges of the screen. After trying everything I could to break X I rebooted, and the log file was updated to XFREE861.LOG (attached). The main problem seems to be loading the XKB keymap. Please keep in mind that this is my first encounter with linux, so assume I know nothing asides from basic commands. Also let me know if there is any list that might be better to consult. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products.
