xorg prob on install (newb)

[drum]

Installing 64bit version and I edited the mouse protocol "IMPS/2" and device settings "dev/input/mice" and added new option
"ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

I did: mv //xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Now when I do X -configure I get "failed to load module "i810" (once-only module, 32767)
Using config file: "//xorg.conf.new"

Xorg is not able to detect your mouse
Edit the file and correct the Device

As a newbie I would be glad of any help
Thanks

cat /dev/input/mice

and then move the mouse.

if you get garbage on the screen then it's the right device... if not try /dev/input/mouse0

then change it in your xorg.conf

PS: if the garbage it prints on your screen screws your console up, just type in reset and press enter (even if the chars "reset" dont appear on teh screen the command will still work -- and reset your terminal :p

Thanks Hayl,
I tried that and the mouse created lines of gobeldygook
so my setting of "/dev/input/mice" must be ok?

What next please

You have to edit your xorg.conf file

open the file

[drum]

How do I chroot into my system from the live cd? in order to answer your questions?
thanks

That all depends on your system.

I tried that with my hda3 (root) and it said "already mounted"
I chrooted and got "no such file"

I was in the system but put the cd back in and now this.....

Thanks for your patience

[BigUns]

Reboot your system with the disk inside the CD tray. After if boots up try the chroot command.

Nope, same prob.
I installed the 32 bit version on another box with stage 3 and genkernel and it works great.
With this 64 bit ver I did a stage 2 and manual kernel config.
Maybe I should try it the same way I did with the 32 bit?
WHat do you think?
regards

Give it a shot. Please post the results in this thread.
