by I finally got X running on my machine (after nearly frying my monitor),
even though I don't technically have a supported graphics card. My
Trident 8900z seems to work fine with the settings in modeDB.txt, even
though the docs say only the 8900c is supported.
However, X is still unusable since I am unable to move the mouse. I've
messed around with the Xconfig, trying out each of the mouse settings
that are there, and some work to differing degrees. None of them work
well enough though. Either the mouse position only updates every 8
seconds or so, or the computer just hangs and I have to do a cold reboot.
Even Crtl-Alt-Backspace doesn't work. I've used the mouse test program
to figure out which mine is, and it says it's a Microsoft Mouse
(even though it's a Logitech), but X hangs on that setting. Please
help, my roommates crappy old Artech mouse works great and my expensive
Logitech craps out. :(
Thanks in advance for any help,
Kevin
