--text follows this line-- I too am having trouble with X and my mouse. No matter what I try for the mouse device, the X servr fails with the message "Cannot open mouse (no such device)". How to I tell what device my mouse is? During boot the BIOS just says "Mouse recognized", and the kernel says nothing.
I have a Microsoft PS/2 mouse. I used to run Slackware, and it worked fine. Now I'm using Debian-1.1. I found some links in /dev: msmouse->inportbm, psmouse->psaux, and I tried them, as well as making /dev/mouse point to them. Nothing helped. > i'm haveing trouble configureing my mouse for use in the > xf86config. i have a logitech 2 button mouse. in the boot process it saz > foud PS/2 mouse but nothing more. i have in the xf86config file: -- >> What do you get when you execute >> ls -l /dev/mouse >> Does the link point to the I/O port which is connected to your mouse?
