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.
I have Logitech mx510 and its connected to usb
Maybe this could help you with mouse:
