Regrets: apparently my ISP has been rejecting my alias
"John_Hammack". Please retrans to Hammack@ridgenet.net. Sorry
for the inconvience.
After initiating "startx" a window comes up with a menu. I am
not sure this is an X window or the window manager. But the mouse cursor
is not present and the mouse buttons are not effective. At this point
I don't think the screen is frozen because initially "enlightenment" scrawls in
the center of the screen. The mouse is a kensington track
ball. If necessay I would get another pointing device. But it
was working under an OLD ver of Slackware. It is installed under windows
as a PS/2. I > my startx into a log to capture it. If you
need it and the login file I can provide both. Thanks for any
suggestions. Specifications and more below:
Hardware: PII 266 mhz 64MB, 2MB on Diamond,
kensington TB (PS/2)
OS: Linux 2.2.17 pre10 i686 [ELF]
X manager = enlightenment
Problem: startx results with screen and no
cursor.
- Blue/green screen appears with menu and a few
horizontal lines.
- "enlightenment" scrawls and
dissappeears.
- no cursor is present
- ctrl-alt-BS exits the window.
Some output of startx
Configured Drivers: SVGA (the S3_VIRGE/VX
driver did not work)
mouse: type PS/2, device /dev/psaux, button
3.
SVGA: Graphics device ID:

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: "
emp " > " -eml "
Errors from xkb comp are not fatal to the X
server.
Other questions from startx and xf86config as
follows:
xserverrc is referenced in startx and pointed
to in the file system but the
file is not present.
gpm is reference in xf86config and pointed to in
the file system but the
file is not present.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Hammack@ridgenet.net |
