It may be that the configuration is looking for you mouse under /dev/mouse instead of the real device. I don't remember the default. try as root ln -s /dev/psaux /dev/mouse and see if it helps. Also look at the error message and try to see where it looks for the mouse at. Is it a usb mouse or serial mouse, if so then if I am not mistaken you need /dev/input/mice and make sure that you have the usb modules loaded. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
