Also, the mouse is not properly working in X either. All I get is a black box in place of the pointer and some error messages about detecting the mouse. I am wondering if it has to do with the motherboards mouse and keyboard ps/2 ports. I am also wondering if upgrading the kernel will do anything. Anything to fix it rather than re-installing cause I can't afford to do that. Any advice? Thanks in advance! =)
You could play around in /etc/XF86Config-4. Some graphics chips need Option "hw_cursor"in the "Device" section in order to draw the cursor correctly. Others need "sw_cursor", though... If the mouse is not moving at all, play around in the (guess what!) "Mouse" section. Try using PS/2 or IMPS/2 ad protocol, be sure to use /dev/psaux as mouse device, etc.
man xf86config-4 will help you with possible options. hth joerg
