Lines: 29 Message-ID: <31hqtj$rpi@dcsun4.us.oracle.com> References: <31558p$8t1@dcsun4.us.oracle.com> <318bl4$kh8@rads.dnd.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: kate.us.oracle.com Okay, someone told me to use tty00 for the mouse, so now it is recognized by the configuration script. Also, I found that the script died in the "twiddle" option because I had said yes to three button emulation (X didn't seem to like the option). However, now I can do a startx/X/xinit okay, but then the mouse does not actually do anything. Is there some option I need to add to my kernel, or some daemon I need to start to get the mouse to work?
