Thanks, that did the trick. I had tried my old xorg.conf. That failed until I commented out the "Device" section for the video card that's no longer there. I hadn't played with xorg.conf much because I thought it was deprecated now. Unfortunately, my old Logitech serial mouse still doesn't work with the old xorg.conf section: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0" Option "Protocol" "Microsoft" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection /dev/ttyS0 does exist. Do you have any ideas on how to get that working? (I keep it because I don't like scroll wheels.)
