wickyd · 2007-02-28 09:30:11

Please can you post a working xorg.conf file with the following:

1. Single CRT monitor.
2. Commercial NVIDIA driver. I have a GeForce 5600XT.
3. PS/2 mouse.

Thank you.

note: you may also need, xf86-input-mouse ( and xf86-input-keyboard, if you use the 'keyboard' module as well) for the 'mouse' module.

tip: use nvidia-xconfig (fron nvidia*(-kernel|-beyond,-ck,etc if applicable)*)-utils

------

i use a usb mouse, but the same config works if i swap attach the mouse using a usb->ps/2 connector.

I saw these fontpaths added to a sample xorg.conf file, however I don't see this entry in your file. When would the following be necessary:

Section "Files"
  RgbPath       "/usr/lib/X11/rgb"
  ModulePath    "/usr/lib/modules"
  FontPath      "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled"
  FontPath      "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
  FontPath      "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
  FontPath      "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
  FontPath      "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi"
  FontPath      "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi"
  FontPath      "/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic"
  FontPath      "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
  FontPath      "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
  FontPath      "/usr/share/fonts/ukr"
EndSection
