AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH NOOO! Reinstalling is Windows mentality. If you don't 
figure out what the problem is then it'll just happen again. Like in 
Windows. Sounds like "dirty" isn't the problem since it works in MS. Do 
you have gpm installed? Does it work without X started? My guess is going 
to be that its an X config problem. Try running xorgconfig first (after 
backing up xorg.conf, of course).
