Thanks to Kent West et al
A few days ago I started what turned out to be a very long thread about my attempts, as a newbie, to get my new Debian installation working properly. I disappeared for a few days because my monitor blew up so I couldn't even use the Debian box, but I now have a new monitor. My last remaining big headache was that my USB mouse wasn't working properly. However, the mouse came with a PS/2 adaptor, so I plugged it in as a PS/2 mouse, and now it worketh fine! The only remaining problem - at least for the time being :-) - is an error message that reads Can't find file pc/uk for symbols include whenever I startx. However, this is very minor, and doesn't seem to actually break anything. So thanks to the infinitely patient Kent and everyone else who helped - you are stars all!

Hi Brian It is a little confusing but the keyboard set for the UK is gb uk is Ukraine ;) If you do # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 you should get the opportunity to reset it as you can also by doing # dpkg-reconfigure console-data to reset the console.

USB mouse using the PS/2 connector failed to respond. Even with the original kernel where it had worked just fine not an hour earlier. Thanks to scarynetworkguy from #debian, I was able to get my mouse back simply by removing the connector and using it as a USB mouse. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
