I got the same problem some time ago. Try /dev/input/mice insted of
/dev/input/mouse0.

Thanks. I do have /dev/input/mice and putting that into xorg.conf solves the error. However the mouse doesn't work. Here is the relevant section of my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
       Identifier  "Mouse0"
       Driver      "mouse"
       Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
       Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
       Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Please note I only have one mouse. It part of a wireless Logitec mouse/keyboard combo and plugs into the standard PS/2 mouse socket.

Thanks for your help.

Drew
