I installed YDL 2.3 with a Kensington USB mouse plugged into my iBook 
(dual usb).

It seems that without the mouse plugged in, I can't start X. X can run 
with just the trackpad, but can't seem to start with just the trackpad. 
X says it is looking for /dev/mouse, which isn't available (obviously?). 
I know I can edit the core pointing device in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ,but 
i'm not sure how to configure the pointing device for my iBook's trackpad.

Thanks,
Eric

P.S. I need to access my wireless network, but iwconfig seems to want an 
8 digit (128-bit?) network key, and it won't take the 5 digit key that 
my network uses. Any ideas on this one? Thanks.
