Hi,
I have installed Fedora Core 6 on my laptop.
It works to install it, but when the laptop starts up the Xserver fails.

I get this error:
Fail to start X-server (your graphical interface). It seems that the pointer device (your mouse) is not set up correctly.
Would you like to view the X server output <yes> <No>
I choose <Yes> I get some error and it talks about a log file called Xorg.0.log<OK>
I have put the log file here: Xorg.0.log (http://www.ojn.se/download/Xorg.0.log )

Then I press <OK> and I get this message: Would you like try to configure the X server?<Yes> <No>
I choose <Yes>, but it didn't help.

What to do?
I have also done a full system update from the command-line
(su -c 'yum update')
It didn't help me.

Regards,
Ove

Find a copy of an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that will work for your portable and replace the one that you have now. There are many examples of xorg.conf in forum messages, but I don't know what kind of machine you have. I can make the link to the Xorg.0.log that you posted work (here in NM, USA)

Try in terminal

# system-config-display
or
# setup
