I have a little problem with my X-Window. The PC where I pretend to use DSL is very old (a MMX pentium @ 200MHz) and it doesn't have ps/2 ports. So I bought a USB PCI card so that I could use a new keyboard and mouse. The problem is that although the kernel recognizes both devices and allow me to write with the keyboard, when I start the X session, both, the mouse and the Keyboard stop working. I have tried all the configurations for the mouse with no success. What could I do to get them working in X without installing XFree?

Start by posting the contents of the file:

/home/dsl/.xserverrc

Then maybe someone can spot the problem, or not.

well, my .xserverrc is:

Code Sample

exec /user/bin/X11/Xvesa -mouse /dev/input/mice,5 -screen 1024x768x24 -shadow -nolisten tcp -I &>/dev/null
