X11 and GUI FAQ

I can't use the GUI because the mouse doesn't work!

Stuck in the GUI without a mouse? Hold SHIFT-ALT-F2, release, and then ALT-F will give you the File menu.

A way to just plain get out is to hold ALT and SYS-REQ, release and press ENTER.

The command to configure a mouse is "mkdev mouse". In most modern machines, you have a "High Resolution Keyboard Mouse".
