I have a problem...

[tornad]

I was trying to change my keybard setting since i have a french canadian keyboard with
Xconfig (I am using rh6.2) and when it was finish i lost my mouse it is completly unusable the sceen goes up and down, can't point to anything etc...

and my second problem is that my system boots X automatically so i can't get acces to the console so is there a way to prevent my system from starting the graphical login so i can change my mouse settings ?
Help would be appreciated

If you use LILO at the prompt type
LILO: linux 3
This will put you in Runlevel 3 which for most systems is Multiuser command line interface without starting X automatically. Hopefully this helps as the first step in clearing up your problem.

linux int 3 should do it, or once you have the graphical boot, press ctrl+alt+F1 to take you to a console.

The file you will want to edit is your XF86Config file (or possibly XF86Config-4). It is usually located in /etc/X11 or /etc. Check out the NHF's here for some idea on what to change. Additionally, ctrl+alt+<BACKSPACE> will kill your Xserver, though if you have a graphicall boot it will just restart it. Good Luck.
