Re: [newbie] I just get a Big White Box :-(
I would check www.xfree86.org they have a part where it shows common problems and solutions listed by video card. I don't know if yours is on the list but I would check. Also check which version of XFree86 your using 3.3.6 or 4.0 and make sure you check that version on www.xfree86.org. Hope something in here helps you.

Make sure that in the configuration you choose the correct mouse.
Re: [newbie] I just get a Big White Box :-(
You can check out your XF86config file under the section of pointers. there is a line here that tells you to uncomment it if your cursor appears as a white box (to uncomment you have to delete the '#' and then save the resulting file) You can do this in X as root using Kedit or from a command prompt (as root) using ' pico' or 'vi' Eunice Thompson
