The device should probably be /dev/mouse. But as to the 800x600 problem: (II) TRIDENT(0): Clock range: 12.00 to 45.00 MHz (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using default mode "800x600" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using default mode "800x600" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) TRIDENT(0): Not using default mode "800x600" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) It's looks like none of your 800x600 modes fall within the clock range. I'm not sure why that would happen because I clearly see modes builtin to the server (at least in 4.3 servers) that fall within that range. You most likely have bad modes in the XF86Config file. Here are some valid modes I generated with the "gtf" program that comes with XFree86. # 800x600 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 37.32 kHz; pclk: 38.22 MHz Modeline "800x600_60.00" 38.22 800 832 912 1024 600 601 604 622 -HSync +Vsync # 800x600 @ 69.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 43.12 kHz; pclk: 44.85 MHz Modeline "800x600_69.00" 44.85 800 840 920 1040 600 601 604 625 -HSync +Vsync The 60 Hz mode is close to the one builtin to the server. The 69 Hz one is about the highest refresh rate you can get and still keep within the video card's clock limits. Though things may look fuzzy up there and a 65 Hz mode like below might look better: # 800x600 @ 65.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 40.49 kHz; pclk: 42.11 MHz Modeline "800x600_65.00" 42.11 800 840 920 1040 600 601 604 623 -HSync +Vsync Mark. ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

You don't appear to have any modelines defined.
