I know there are several threads dealing with how to configure a serial mouse. This PC's mouse device is a 2-button serial mouse on com1. Mydsl-load xfree86.dsl (says "Please mount media containing optional directory and try again.") I tried entering the following at the command line (to no avail):Īpt-get install xfree86 (oops, no apt in DSL) I haven't the first clue how to do this (I'll bet Misza would like this explained in greater detail also): You can try pressing CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to exit XWindows and then type The problem is that after starting up the desktop the mouse isn't responding, the cursor doesn't move and the buttons don't seem to work either. Otherwise, you may need to get XFree86.dsl if you have an unsupported mouse device. Otherwise, you can try pressing CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to exit XWindows and then type Sometimes I need to move my mouse around for a few seconds before it will come alive. Now what's the problem? I can't even start up a terminal (or is there a keyboard shortcut?) and the first (and only) virtual console is reserved for system messages. Select 'Turn On' to turn NumLock on at startup. You can see in the middle section the options for 'NumLock on KDE Startup', where you can choose to Turn On, Turn Off, or Leave Unchanged.

Although during startup DSL has detected a generic mouse on /dev/psaux, the cursor doesn't move and the buttons don't seem to work either. From the K Menu, launch System Settings and click on Keyboard (Edgy users: K Menu -> System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard). Hi all! I just downloaded the DSL-2.0 and burned it onto my CD-RW in order to later install it on my pen drive.īut the problem is that after starting up the desktop the mouse isn't responding.
