When I went to /var/log/Xorg.0.log, this is what I found:

Xorg is trying to open /dev/mouse which is given in /etc/xorg.conf and fails. This can be because: - /dev/mouse doesn't exist at all - mouse device has different name or - it is located in different place Open root console from menu and run command: hwinfo --mouse and see in output what device it is (if any). Relevant lines are: Device File: Device Files:
Re: installing 10.2, I have 10.1, which I have installed on another computer. When I attempted to install it on this machine (the 9.3 one), I got a lot of dependency errors, more than my knowledge of Linux would allow me to solve.
In that case I would backup my own files and install from scratch. For this purose backup can be simple copy burned on CD.
I have been looking and have not found an explanation of the differences between 10.1 and 10.2, including the suse site.
Major difference is improved software management. Details: http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/News/10.2 it describes all changes from stable 10.1 to stable 10.2 during development.
I will wait until I set up another computer. Basically, I have seen this since Suse 6.2, new version, new computer (or hard drive).
Maybe I will learn something at Linuxworld tomorrow.
Have a fun. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
