Re: Problem with Startx - Intel 8284 5G

The messages at the end of the log are the ones of intrest. From them i
can see that.

 1. X cannot find your mouse
 2. X cant connect to the font server

With the mouse it looks like you have chosen the most logical device
name for the mouse :). However if your mouse is a PS/2 mouse using
/dev/psaux as the mouse device will work much better.

And with the font server, do you have xfs installed? It comes bundled
when you install x-window-system. Try running

$ /etc/init.d/xfs start

If that gives output such as "Starting X font server:" then its your
lucky day. If not then

$ apt-get install xfs xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi

And try it again, i think thats all you need for a basic set of fonts
but anyone on this list feel free to correct me :P.

Also to reconfigure the X server and change your mouse device use:

$ dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

Hope this helps
