Hey Florian,
Thanks very much for your assistance! I do appreciate it!
Yes, I go ahead and upgrade the linux-image to 2.6.18 and reload udev.
Now it seems the mouse problem is gone but I still not be able to
startx. Because the system tells me:
$-----------------------snap begin------------------------------------
$
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
error opening security policy file /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compatibility { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc(pc105)+us" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
$--------------------------snap
end----------------------------------------$
Can you give me some further help please?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Blessings,
Rocky
