I booted the LiveCD in console mode

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log > xorg.log.txt
Attach xorg.log.txt to your reply.
I do not find that file
How do I open the terminal without using the mouse?
There is no keyboard shortcut to open terminal I'm aware of.
The log won't solve the problem,you have a serial mouse.
Another slitaz user with a serial mouse reported it will not work in Slitaz-4.0
He was somehow able to get a serial mouse to work in slitaz-3.0

If the computer has a PS2 mouse connection or USB port try a mouse with that connector.

I had the same problem with serial mouse. The easiest way to make serial mouse to work with new Xorg install inputattach. You can convert deb package by "tazpkd convert" for example. Then write in /etc/init.d/local.sh "/usr/bin/inputattach --daemon --microsoft /dev/ttyS0" or you can use other options.
Ahh also you need to load module ser_mouse, you can do it by editing /etc/rcS.conf
Q:How do I open the terminal without using the mouse?
A "start button"(button beside left "ctrl" with WIN logo) + "e", then type "xterm" or "sakura"
that should open a terminal console, assuming your keyboard works, and its a "modern" layout. i frankly dont remember 90s keyboard layouts
i know its way late reply, but like mojo says, no shorcut, this is just a "workaroud"
you can go from there on to do the stuff as stated above.
let us know how it goes
