igloo:/dev# uname -a
Linux igloo 2.4.25-1-686 #1 Tue Feb 24 10:55:59 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
Yes, the file is there
igloo:/dev# ls -l | grep psaux
crw------- 1 root root 10, 1 Mar 14 2002 psaux
The box is a basic woody install. Then I altered my source.list file,
changing "stable" to "testing". I assume that this is the way to upgrade to
sarge. I installed x-windows-system. Now I'm at this point where X doesn't
want to run, possibly due to the mouse.
This machine did run X on woody before. It got reformatted as a Gentoo box,
then reformatted again to it's current state.
igloo:/dev# modprobe psmouse
modprobe: Can't locate module psmouse
You think I should boot back into 2.4.18-bf2.4 or whatever it is...?
