David Anderson said, I've tried to use the vi text editor, but it won't let me type anything. I can't even get out of it once I start the program. Either I'm doing something wrong (which is entirely possible), or it's not working right. Can you tell me exactly how to edit the XF86Config file? What programs to open and how to edit it, etc.? I only have about 4 days worth of Linux experience so I am very new at this. Remember, I can't use any GUIs because my mouse doesn't work, so I have to do it at the root prompt. Thanks.
Vi is probably not the best editor to use for a newbie. If you have to use it for some reason then at least read the man page first. Here's a Quick Reference for VI http://dcfonline.sfu.ca/ying/linux/vi/ Here's a tutorial for VI. http://www.ctssn.com/linux/lesson4.html -----Original Message----- From: David Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 1:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [XFree86] mouse problems _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
