    Mouse doesn't work in X

    Hi
    I recently installed slackware 10.1. Everything was going well, but when i started up X, the mouse didnt work. I restarted and tried again and this time when X started, the mouse worked for a second or two then stopped working. What can I do to get it to work? Any help would be appreciated...

    OK, what kind of make/model of mouse do you have and how does it connect to your PC?

    Could you also post the section regarding the mouse in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file please. (you can view the file with
    Code:
    cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | less
    in the command line.

    Hi dylunio, I actually just got it fixed, but thanks for replying anyway.
    I just had to change the protocol type in the xorg.conf file
