mouse moving so little

Hello,

I have just started slitaz-4.0.iso via Live USB key on an old laptop (1GB RAM, bought around 2009, I guess) ; my objective is to reuse this PC with a light linux

2 annoying problems after a first boot on this Live USB :

1) mouse cursor hardly moves: I am always disturbed by a kind of popup to choose between desktops 1 and 2 : I managed to suppress that popup by removing desktop 2, but the result is not better : almost impossible to move the mouse

2) wifi does not work

I had also tried the slitaz-rolling.iso version, and got similar problems, although mouse pbs are not as annoying, but still this kind of popup to choose a desktop

Any suggestion would be appreciated

thanks in advance

@jack_london

Verify you boot into core flavor and have linux-wireless driver package installed.

[c]tazpkg search linux-wireless[/c]

If not install it:

[c]tazpkg -gi linux-wireless[/c]

The user has to install pciutils to identify the wireless adapter in order to install the correct firmware package.

[c]tazpkg -gi pciutils[/c]

If your wifi adapter plugs into usb:

[c]tazpkg -gi usbutils[/c]

Post output:

[c]lsusb[/c]

Post the output from this command:

[c]lspci -nn[/c]

The output from above will also identify your graphics adapter which is required to install graphics driver and additional software for graphics hardware direct rendering (acceleration).

Attach a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log as an attachment.
