[gentoo-user] xorg config

[John Jolet]

Okay, so i'm experimenting with the split kde ebuilds, having done a  
kde-meta the last time.  However, when I did that, I got all my  
hardware configured and set up automatically somehow.  when I just  
did emerge kdebase-startkde, It won't allow me to go beyond 640x480.   
So I ran xorgconfig, and now I've apparently picked the wrong mouse  
(it's a usb trackball) port and nothing works.  Is there a script  
that will set all this for me?  I really, REALLY hate mucking about  
in that stupid xorg.conf file.

yeah, did that.  problem is that said it couldn't determine my  
mouse...so I booted to the live cd and looked at what /dev/mouse was  
symlinked to.  /dev/input/mice.  why that symlink didn't get created  
here, i don't know.  but I put it in and it works...now i've just got  
to figure out how to get more than 640x480 resolution..
