Re: problem with XFree86 in testing
I don't think that the missing mode lines might cause the problem. In my
XF86Config-4 I don't have any either and everything works fine. But the
fact is, that you are apparently using an LCD monitor on a Laptop and that
may make the issue completely different.
However, do you really have Explorer mouse? (Is it the one with two normal
buttons, the wheel and some more buttons at sides? from m$?). Also,
consider setting UseFBDev to false, although I am not expert on this. I
only know, that when I had this one set to true, I had problems with mouse
cursor, which changed from the normal arrow to a nasty white square after
alt-f1-ing to normal console and back.
