Re: xdm modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-13



2. How do I fix this error message above?

13 char        Input core
                 0 = /dev/input/js0    First joystick
                 1 = /dev/input/js1    Second joystick
                   ...
                32 = /dev/input/mouse0 First mouse
                33 = /dev/input/mouse1 Second mouse
                   ...
                63 = /dev/input/mice   Unified mouse
                64 = /dev/input/event0 First event queue
                65 = /dev/input/event1 Second event queue
                   ...

               Each device type has 5 bits (32 minors).

It would seem rather obvious that something is looking for a mouse.


That maybe the case, (though, I don't think so) but I am able to login and
click on the xdm login screen and move the mouse around... Perhaps, after
the login, which is when the error happens, some application is looking for
the mouse and can't find it. Nonetheless, if the starting xdm screen/window
can see and use the mouse, shouldn't every other application called from
within xdm also be able to recognize and utilize the mouse?

Let's stop this one here.  I already uninstalled it. :-)  But I am finding
that kdm is, perhaps, having the same problem.  I can't see the error, but
after the login screen, the same sequence of events which xdm followed after
the login are also being executed by kdm.  Or is it kde?
