XFree86 problem

["Gruessle" <debian@orces.com>]

I am back to XFree86 - once I get this going I will make 10 backups of
it.

When I run XFree86 -configure
screen blends out - doesn't do anything for a long time and then it
reboots.

I need to reconfigure my mouse.

I tried editing my config file direct but don't have a good sample to
work of.
All the once here look different like a totally different version or
something.


How did this happen you ask.

I was trying to set up following but read on to see what happened:
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=25
type=imps2
repeat_type=raw


and your /etc/X11/XFConfig-4 file, Input Device section will look
something like:
Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
         Driver          "mouse"
         Option          "CorePointer"
         Option          "Device"                "/dev/gpmdata"
         Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
         Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

I do have a file called |gpmdata in /dev/ but the size is 0 and
it shows up black in mc plus it has this "|" in front
And last date changed shows just a few min. ago.
Looks like that file got corrupted somehow when I did the change to
XFConfig-4.
How do I get that file fixed?
My X id not working at all anymore until I can fix this.
And why did that happen?
