I now remember however, the X error message I got when I was
trying to start X. It was not a video error. It was a mouse
error, no pointer device found.
When I was installing, I was asked some questions about the
mouse, eg was it a serial port or PS/2, and then given a choice
of files. I chose the default, /dev/input/mice.
The last time I tried installing I didn't see these questions.
Instead, I was asked to move the mouse around so the installer
could determine the type.
