how to post configure the Xserver, (XF86Setup or the alike)

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

After having installed Knoppix 3.3 on my Laptop, I tried to connect
a cordless Logitech mouse, via the USB port. However it is not
detected my the Xserver. When I boot from the CD again, it is detected,
but of course I don't want to redo the installation. I could try to
edit the X86Config file, but I remember from my earlie SuSe days, that
there was a GUI (XF86Setup or something like this) which allow
me a configuration without editing the XF86Config file.

is there anything like this in Knoppix?

I looked for it but did not succeed.

thanks

There is a possibility in the KDE system-settings, but without using kde, I don't remember where to hangle through the menues.
Normally very close to the top, devices, ...

However, look at the /var/log/XF....0.log.
One of the first lines shows which config-file is used.
Most popular: /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

make a backup of that file, and edit it.
It's the best way to do it.
