I have tried that, and I cant chose my videocard (I know I can in the
graphic version, and I know it is supported by v. 4.x too).
I cant remember the exactly path to my mouse device, it's something
like /dev/pex... or something, it starts with "p" and theres an "x" in
it too - could you help me out here?
Why haven't I got the XF86Setup btw.?
