Hold down the CTRL key with one finger.  
Hold down the ALT key with a second finger.  
Then press the + key with a third finger.

Then there is probably a configuration problem
in /etc/XF86Config.

1. What kind of mouse do you have?  
2. Look in /etc/XF86Config and find Section "Pointer".

--------------------------------
insmod rtl8139                   # installs network card
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.17       # assigns address to card 
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 # sets default gateway
--------------------------------
Those addresses are just examples.  Use the actual IPs
for your network.

DNS IPs are recorded in /etc/resolv.conf
