Can you post the relevant (mouse) section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf? Make sure the device the mouse is pointing to exists. Look in /dev/input/ to see what mice/mouse device there are and edit the xorg.conf to the corect one (ie. change /dev/mouse to /dev/input/mouseX)

following your advice

now i can start kde with mouse

really thanks

 

however;

i can not boot up with kde instead of typing command startx startkde

it always comlains can not find tty0.........

faile to load module /usr/x11/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a*

once only module

 

in fact, every time when I start up the machine,

it creat new file /dev/input/mouse* and /dev/tty*

a bit greedy? :)

anyway; it is rather good for me restore my system now

Did you install the ATI driver? If yes then (I think, I'm not an ATI user) you should add a line to /etc/modprobe.preload to tell the system to load that module at boot.
