No Cursor Movement in X: Slackware-12.1
If this is not the appropriate list to ask for help, please point me to the proper place. I may not have e-mail access during my business trip this week unless a text browser will allow me to connect to the hotel's server. I just upgraded my Sony Vaio PCG-V505BC from Slackware-12.0 to -12.1 and now the cursor won't move when I start X. Neither the touchpad nor an external USB mouse will move it. However, both the touchpad and an external mouse work on the console with gpm running. The required driver is psmouse, but xorg.conf must have something incorrect (or missing) since it no longer works. Here is the file: # Copyright (C) 1999-2003 Lincoln D.

TIA, Rich Hi Rich, I'm not quite sure which version of xorg is shipped with slackware 12.1. Assuming it's a recent one, can you try if you get better success with no xorg.conf file at all or with an xorg.conf file that doesn't contain any InputDevice sections? Make sure that you have the xf86-input-evdev driver installed. If you want full touchpad support (evdev gives basic support) please install xf86-input-synaptics as well. You might want to install and activate hal/dbus (assuming that support for this is built into the slackware packages). Your distro should provide you with some .fdi files that take care of setting up the correct drivers and defaults through hal.

Magnus, One of the local LUG members gave me the solution: as root, run 'X -configure' and copy the resulting /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. That did the trick. You might want to install and activate hal/dbus (assuming that support for this is built into the slackware packages). Your distro should provide you with some .fdi files that take care of setting up the correct drivers and defaults through hal. HAL and dbus are automatically installed and running. I'll unsubscribe now that I have this working. Thank you very much for the prompt response! Rich -- Richard B.
