Start with framebuffer no. Some drivers support it and some do not. The 'nv' free software nvidia driver does not, for example. But the proprietary nvidia driver does. > Is there something obvious to look for? (Using Gefore 4 MX - vesa > driver - and generic monitor 1024x768@70Hz). To the best of my knowledge the nVidea GeForce uses the 'nv' driver not the 'vesa' driver. But I only have installed about six of those so far and so I could be wrong. Try reconfiguring using 'nv' with framebuffer no. I am guessing that will work. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 If it does not work then with you next posting please post your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file so there is some data as to what might be wrong. Also include the 'lspci' (or cat /proc/pci) output. Have you installed 'gpm', yes or no? Do you have a usb, ps2, imps2 or other mouse. Might as well ask as those will be the next questions. Bob
