Someone already mentioned the keyboard shortcut to quit X
(Ctrl-Alt-Bkspace), so I'll see if I can help you get your mouse
working. I had this problem my first time trying to install RedHat
5.1. You should check to see if the connector your mouse uses to plug
into your computer is circular (ps/2) or somewhat rectangular
(serial). If it's the first, then you should run either
"xconfigurator", "FX86Config", or "SetupXF86" and when it asks you for
the device path, give "/dev/psaux" without the quotation marks. If
it's the second, then "/dev/mouse" should work, although I can't say
for certain as I've never tried to setup a serial mouse in linux. HTH.

How you close Xwindows depends on which Desktop you use. CTRL-ALT-Backspace will drop you riught out of x-windows usually, If you are using KDE, you may be able to press ALT-F1 to get at the menu.
