I had a really hard time configuring xorg. {{{Xorg -configure}}} was returning errors, and I couldn't solve the issues that cropped up in the log, so I stole the xorg file from Ubuntu, and it works fine. The issue is exacerbated by the fact that Squeeze's packages only have drivers for up to around the radeon 4xxx.

#### /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	DefaultDepth	24

Section "Module"
	Load	"glx"

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "Mouse Remap"
	MatchProduct "Saitek Cyborg R.A.T.7 Mouse"
 	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
 	Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 0 0 0"

  • Note* Generally you would open terminal window CTRL+ALT+F1, you would close gnome /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop, then you would configure xorg Xorg -configure. I ran into unresolved issues here, so I created my own xorg.conf
