xfree86 configration help - Guest - 2004-10-27
I previously was able to start X server via the command 'startx'
I then ps -ef|grep X
and I killed all the processors that had anything to do with X.
Now when I try to run the command 'startx' I am getting configration errors.. I assume there is a PID that I have not successfully killed or something to that effect.. Below is the output of the X configration.. I am not sure what is causing it to stop running

The important point to spot is this here:
Quote:(**) Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/mouse
No such file or directory.
(EE) Mouse0: cannot open input device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Mouse0"
(II) UnloadModule: "mouse"
(II) Keyboard "Keyboard0" handled by legacy driver
(WW) No core pointer registered
No core pointer
The default device for your mouse is "/dev/mouse" however that does not always exist. So what you need to do is alter the XF86Config (or xorg.conf) to point to the correct device.
If you have a PS/2 mouse (most will probably have this) then alter the device to "/dev/psaux"
That should do it.
Btw: Core Pointer == Mouse o_O
