In an earlier attempt to get X running I was told to

If so, run "gpmconfig" and specify:
mouse location: /dev/psaux
mouse type: ps/2
repeat type: raw

For my generic ps2 type mouse.

I've done that and still no cursor.  I booted knoppix and it detected
the generic ps2 mouse at /dev/psaux and it worked correctly.

What do I check next?




Mark,

You probably need to change the mouse type.  This is my /etc/gpm.conf
and my ps/2 mouse works fine.

device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=
type=imps2
append=""
sample_rate=


Thanks, but that didn't work.

OK, I thought you were trying to set up console mouse, but you're trying to set it up in X. My fault, I misread your email.
As well as imps2 in gpm.conf, you should have this in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, or at least the Protocol.
