Vide and Mouse install (5.2)



Ok, I just installed my very first Linux last night.

Some questions

when I run xf86config, then startx, I get a nice 1024 x 768 screen but
no mouse, and

when I run Xconfigurator, then startx, I get a 640 x 480 screen,
ctrl-alt-+ does nothing, and all the windows and icons are way too big
for the screen.

Using xf86config, it asks for mouse info, and says to hit return for the
default /dev/mouse.  I have a dual boot DOS/Linux, and, in DOS terms,
the mouse is on COM2.  What should I enter for Linux mouse info?

Any ideas how to get the video to 1024 x 768 and the mouse to work at
the same time?

I did have a Unix shell account a while back, however, I've forgotten
most everything.  What text editors are available in Red Hat 5.2?   How
about file managers?
