Now the question goes like this: shall we close this and consider the trouble based on a bad machine ? On the other hand, I'd like to help Debian to get better. Therefore: shall I still send you the info as requested further down ?
Yes, please. I'd like to have a look at it before I give up all hope.
Please, don't !!Actually, I tried on that 'good' machine what I had done earlier; my old time favourite (I know, somewhat outside of Debian):
XFree86 -configure At least, it fails to find the existing mouse; still.(And I don't mean flame, when I say, that *exactly* the same thingy works 100% fine to create the XF86Config in OpenBSD 3.5. I hold this as relevant, even, since chances are that it is neither a hardware problem (same machine), nor an XFree86 - problem (almost same version).
It rather seems a problem of a worthwhile mouse detection.) And now I'll go ahead with the creation of that requested file ... ! Head up ! Uwe
