I've been working to get XF86 running on a Dell Optiplex 5133 without

not been possible to get either gpm or XF86 to see it. We have tried
many combinations and all except /dev/ttyS0 have given an error that
the mouse device does not exist. It will not recognize /dev/psaux.
Now for the interesting part. We loaded up CND 1.0 and it works fine
as /dev/psaux...
Any / all suggestions are welcome.
I had that problem with Debian 1.1, where the solution was to recompile
the kernel enabling the psaux driver. I did not have the same problem
with 1.2 tho.

installed the gpm package and reinstalled X. well hay!! it now sees the
mouse.
Section Pointer

the kernel.
