I'm trying to get a mouse wheel to work in XWindows on a potato box and causing colateral damage at the same time. :-) Noticing there was not XF86Config-4 file, I ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and when it asked if I wanted the config file handled by debconf, I said yes. It was working great until I got to the part for selecting monitor settings - I chose simple. At that point it just sat there with a blank blue screen. Finally I Ctrl-C'd out of there and tried to start over. Now though, a dpkg-reconfigure on anything that gives a dialog based prompt of that sort simply hangs with a blue screen - never showing the options or what it's doing. If I Ctrl-C out of it, it will then show a white box inside the blue screen with some text for the title, but it still doesn't show me what the options where, and obviously I'm back at the command line so I can't try and select any options. Does anyone know where I might start to resolve this and get back to working on the mouse wheel?
