check that you have /dev/mouse 2.2 seems not to create it for some reason and if you install X during the 2.2 installation it always defaults to /dev/mouse if your mouse is a PS/2 type then just link /dev/psaux to /dev/mouse if your mouse is a serial one on COM1: or COM2: then just link /dev/ttyS0 to /dev/mouse or /dev/ttyS1 to /dev/mouse respectively how to link? as root do "ln -s /dev/psaux /dev/mouse" (without the quotes) hth -- Who's watching the watchmen?
