If you saw my post in the Lounge then you kinda know the back story to this. I can get X to start up now, but its like its zoomed in too far. I can only see the center of the screen. Its like this on all resolutions I''ve tried (via CTRL+ALT+..uh..PLUS). Is there a way to get X to "zoom out?" Or is there a problem with my configureation?

Well, I got THAT to work. Now I just got to get the mouse to work, or at least figure out how to move around in Gnome without the mouse.

Its a USB mouse. Anyone know how to get a USB mouse to work?

If you have kernel support for USB HID devices, it''s very easy. First, grep your /var/log/dmesg for USB to see if your mouse has been detected. If it''s been detected, see if you have a device /dev/input/mice. That''s the device X should use to access the mouse. As protocol, IMPS/2 should do fine.

Here''s my InputDevice section:


Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection
