Need Help with X
Greetings. I'm having some trouble getting X windows to work properly on my Toshiba Satellite 335CDS. So far, the man pages, README's and FAQ's have not shown me the light. :) The first problem is that the resolution does not seem to be 800x600, as the fonts look really clunky. Maybe I'm just running the 75dpi fonts? (The 100dpi lines come before the 75dpi lines in XF86Config-4). The second problem is that my mouse doesn't work properly. I can see the pointer, but it stays stuck in the upper left hand corner of my screen. What's interesting is that before I removed gpm, it seemed to work fine in the console. I've enclosed my XF86Config-4 below. I installed X using apt-get install x-window-system. I also had a some questions about the configuration process. Is anXious or xf86config supposed to work with this package? It seems like they both write /etc/X11/XF86Config, not XF86Config-4. (I found this very confusing--I had to resort to Google to figure out the change to -4.) Also, the XF86Config from anXious did not have the new ServerLayout section. I finally found a reference to using dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xfree86 on Google.I was going to submit a bug on the documentation, but I wanted to supply a suggested patch to the README.Debian file, but I couldn't figure out which README file to patch: xserver-xfree86 or xserver-common. Which one should it be? Thanks!
