"Seems" to exist? Is it actually there, or not? It would be best to actually check. If it's there, can you try configuring gpm (for console-based mouse support) to use /dev/input/mice? When X is acting up, I usually try to make sure that everything works somewhere else as well. As far as the USB support goes, it should work with both the 2.2 and 2.4 series of debian kernels. I just installed woody on a new machine last week, and my USB keyboard and mouse worked fine on the console and in X. (I'm using that box right now to type this, in fact.) Make sure that you've loaded the correct modules. The ones I'm using are for full HID support (this is from /etc/modules): keybdev mousedev hid input usb-uhci usbcore You can do an 'lsmod' to see if you've got those loaded or not. If those modules aren't loaded, maybe what's happened is that your BIOS is using legacy support to make the USB devices appear as a legacy keyboard and mouse. If that's the case, you can either use the traditional access device (/dev/psaux), or instantiate the modules and access them through /dev/input/mice.
