what's the script to install/configure X?

[Hudson Delbert J Contr 61 CS/SCBN]

all,

	i've  tried this method w/out any success (ibm thinkpad 600x
w/trackpoint)

	i got  a ps/2 mouse.

	1.  i want to enable the ps/2 scroll mouse
	2.  still keep the trackpoint   active.


	dont know exact parameters to feed dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86.

	tried it last night...tried  several iterations w/out  success.


	i  seem to remember this a linux list, so can  please restrain
ourselves
	as regards this stupid background  issue.

	if i hear about it again,  i will hurl.

	the discussion has snr waaaaaaay  to hi...

	i am sick of it and  no longer care if they got clothes or loin
cloths on!!!


stop it....

who  cares....

I'm not sure what the best or official way to do it is, but I've learned
since messing with ubuntu that one way to do it is:

as root or sudo-ing in a terminal:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

I just had to do that today when I tried some different video cards.
