Does the mouse work in the console? If not, then the advice I give below doesn't apply, and your moused config is wrong (although it looks correct from here). > After I have tryed to start X, but has received the message "Device busy" then > I have edited the input section in XF86config with the following: > ------------------------------------ > Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" > Option "Buttons" "5" > ------------------------------------ > And I have tried to start X again.

Try adding: Option "Protocol" "Auto" which worked for me (I have a Logitech dual-lazer mouse with 5 buttons and a massage attachment) If that doesn't work, do a little research on the specific brand of mouse you have to see what Protocol setting will work. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
