X-server suddenly doesn't start up anymore

[AljoshaNL]

Hi,

This morning I'm booting up, but when the X server starts, the NVidia
logo flashes 4 times, but then I'm in the console again. No
errors.

REbooted, still the same
Also tried typing 'xdm' as root. Nothing....

WHat is it?
Any help would be appreciated

/var/log/Xorg.n.log

Look at this file. When you load up linux and it dies out to the command prompt, type

init 3

to stop x from trying to start. Then look at the logfile. Chances are that you updated your kernel and you need to reinstall the driver.

In the log i found the XFree86 can't find /dev/input/mice
My mouse is USB

Okay, boot, init 3 thing I told you how to do again, but now do a

dmesg | less

And see what the mouse device is.

Ok...

I used a PS/2 convertor to plug in my USB mouse. Now it works..
