I've recently installed Debian (stable) onto a Dell CPx J650GT laptop. After installing the base system and the required packages, I added the SVGA and Mach64 xservers and the depended-upon packages. startx works in that I get a screen with an xterm in it, but I cannot move my pointer with the touch pad, the pointing stick, or an externally attached ps/2 mouse. This is using the PS/2 protocol and /dev/mouse in my XF86Config file. If I switch to /dev/psaux, the pointer zooms off screen as soon as I touch the touch pad or mouse. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this? Gpm seems to work fine on the console.
