Further to my previous post as rsimmons AT melbpc.org.au, I have now changed my 
list membership to my broadband name and address rogsimmons AT optusnet.com.au.

So I hope communications will now be more reliable! - And my subject line 
appears!

A boot floppy has given me X. Thanks: a skittering mouse is still a minor 
problem

I should have said that after the initial run of xsetup ("A", "P", "2")
or on subsequent "startx"s, a one-line message in duplicate momentarily 
flashed up,
"Interrupt pointer doesn't ......" and I couldn't get the rest of it, nor 
find 
anything in /var: The screen then went blank and I could only regain control 
by cntrl-alt-Dec.
Is there a way of slowing down such messages? or will they be somewhere in 
the 
logs hiding from me?

Noted: /etc/Xconfig reflects my input to Xsetup

Again Thanks.
