I just installed Slackware 10.0 and i ran xorgconfig then i tried to start X but it said:

"(WW) RADEON: No matching device section for instance (Bus ID PCI:1:0:1) found
(EE)xf860 penserial: cannot open device /dev/mouse
no such device
(EE)Mouse1: Cannot open input device
(EE)PreInit failed for input device "mouse1"
no core pointer
Fatal server error: failed to initialize core devices"

Help!

Ok, first problem is that xorg doen't find your 3D gard.

(It may be configured wrongly)

Try:

su
joe /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and then find:
(around row 400 = end)

# ************************************************** ********************
# Graphics device section
# ************************************************** ********************
# Any number of graphics device sections may be present

Section "Device"
Identifier "VESA Framebuffer"
Driver "nvidia"
#VideoRam 4096
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

Change diver (in my case this would be nvidia ->)

radeon -> vesa

(Or what ever it says in your xorg.conf
Ctrl + K + X

startx

If first line disappears then first problem is solved.

Then the mouse problem.

What kind of mouse do you have?

joe /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Look rows 262 -> for mouse help

Try

/dev/psaux


Hope this helps.

Radeon cards are mostly prolems with linux, because there are no good drivers for them (yet)

I hope Ati makes better radeon drivers soon so many people can get their games and etc working properly.

It would help a lot if you post your xorg.conf here, or link it to internet somewhere.
