2.11 loading hangs after choosing Xvesa OR Xorg (Solved!)

So then I did the console window modprobe usbhid which works immediately. But it will not keep it. I have to do it at every boot. How can I make it permanent?

Open in the text editor:
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
and add:
modprobe usbhid
as the last line.

Now "modprobe usbhid" will be executed at every boot.

Thanks. I will try it tonight when I get home.
I just wanted to say thanks for all of the help. The fact that I have been able to receive help from total strangers from Sweden, Germany and the US all at the same time is so cool. Because of you guys help, I managed to turn a really slow old laptop into a fast old laptop at a cost of only $15.00 (bought a floppy drive off Ebay). I have been using Microsoft products since DOS 3.3, and I have never seen this type of free support system in place for a free product. I am hooked.

Welcome to the kennels *woofwoof*

Beside the advantages of the system itself, the friendly community here is one of the main reasons, I switched to Puppy

Ok. It works. USB mouse loads each time. Last on the list is my Netgear Wireless network card. (WG511v2). So far, I have done everything suggested at http://www.murga.org/%7Epuppy/viewtopic ... gear+wg511
with no luck. It tells me the driver is not loaded.
Thanks for you help to this point.

I had the same issue with Puppy 2.10 with my Thinkspad T22. I plugged in an external mouse and problem solved. Since I don't use it much in my lap, thats OK with me. -Mark
