What the fudge?? :facepalm:
when i went on my computer today, i logged in (my linux partition mind you), typed startx to load KDE, and all of a sudden: chaos and despair! my mouse wasn't working. so i pressed CTRL+ALT+Backspace to exit KDE, and nothing happened. I tried booting again, this time checking my mouse functionality. I could move the mouse around in the runlevel 3 environment. i could type. so i figured, ok, its just a bug, itll work this time. so i did it again: startx. the system started up, but still no mouse movement. so i tried some basic commands with the keyboard. i tried exiting KDE. i tried calling up the terminal. none of these worked at all.

As a final attempt, i inserted my slackware installation disk. I went through the setup, making sure not to overwrite any of my files. i chose the games package to install (its usually a safe bet, it doesn't remove anything necessary, and the installation disk requires you to install at least one package to access the configuration menu) i went through the configuration menu, and when i got to the mouse part, i enabled my mouse, the intelli PS2 mouse. it was the setting i had before. i exited setup and started the system normally. It didnt work. the mouse and keyboard worked in the runtime 3 environment, but not in x. I went through the installation again, but this time i chose PS2 mouse instead of intelli PS2 (both worked for me before). i exited and started x again. but still my mouse and keyboard didnt work. I posted on LINUXHELP forums under slackware, and apparently other people are having this problem. if anyone knows about how to fix this, please let me know...
I uploaded my Xorg.0.log file, if you want to take a look... (its .txt because ep doesn't allow .log files, all i did was add a .txt to the name)


Attached File(s)
.txt  Xorg.0.log.txt (Size: 25.29 KB / Downloads: 245)
