Configure a USB mouse

[Christian Almroth]

I am new to linux and my mouse don´t work.
I have Debian Linux 3.0 and when I installed my system I choosed the "tty0"
as mouse port.

Where can I configure the mouseport on KDE or Gnome?

Thanks in advance

You first need to configure your XFree server first: in the input section of
your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 you need something like this:

Port "/dev/input/mice"

Instead of

Port "/dev/tty0"

For more information ask google, and you will find hints like this:
