Stage Two: Package Installation

171

This screen asks that you declare a device for the mouse.

Screen 81: Mouse Device Selection

This is the device that the X server will use to obtain mouse actions. If

you have gpm installed then you will definitely want to enter the mouse as

/dev/gpmdata rather than the actual tty device where the mouse is con 

nected. This is because gpm already has access to the physical port so X

can't get to the device. PS/2 mice get the /dev/psaux device, and if you are

not using gpm the mouse on the first serial port gets /dev/ttyS0 as its device.

Once you have the correct device, press ENTER to accept this value and

move on to the next screen.
