X crashed on me tonight .... completely locking up my computer :evil:

now I have no mouse ... gpm won't start because thereis no /dev/psaux ... but guess what...... THERE IS !!!!!

in /var/log/Xfre...log

 

xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/psaux

No such device or address.

Mouse1: cannot open input device

 

restart ... still nothing

harddrake2 says I have a 2 button ps/2 mouse (which is wrong)

 

help please ... I really DON'T want to re-install .. or anything stoopid like that :-(

I guess you didn't make a boot floopy Eh ? Not sure how to fix your mouse problem, you might want to give more info though, type of mouse etc.

I only had that problem once, and my solution was to d-load the latest cooker version of Xfree and harddrake. Not the best way of trying to fix it, and I wouldn't recomend it to a newbie, but it worked.
