Mouse

Several of you emailed me about your mouse not working in X windows there is relatively an easy fix for this. I'm going to assume you are logged in as root on ttyv since your mouse isn't working in X org.
Run the command to detect your mouse, X config has come a long way
#X -configure
Now you should get some output telling you to try it.
#X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
About 90% of the time it will of worked now you just make it the default config file for Xorg.
#cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Now your mouse will work when you startup Xorg.
