Thank you for all your help with the mouse driver - I now have it
installed, and XF86Setup recognises it. All I've got to worry about now
is setting up the X Server correctly!

After you do the 'insmod' then do o a 'cat /proc/modules' and you should
see an entry like:
psaux 11
which indicate that the mouse module is indeed loaded and known to the
kernel.
For gpm to work you need either:
/dev/psaux (or /dev/mouse and a link from /dev/mouse to /d

Alex,
My mouse is a standard Microsoft PS/2 Intellimouse connected to an
almost new Dell Dimension D266. It connects to a small round 6pin
socket which I assume to be a serial mouse port.
As root, I tried 'insmod psaux' which executed, but produced no
response. I then typed '/dev/psaux device'
John is probably right (insmod psaux).
Where exactly did the 'device in use' message show up?

Thanks for your reply.
When I was installing Debian (which should be the latest version - I
received the CD only recently) I was given the option to install mouse
support in the kernal. I attempted to do so, but this produced a
"device in use" error or something similar.
I have no objections to
You are probably using debian version 1.3 or earlier and have a ps2
style mouse.
Your message is not clear to me but...
If you move the mouse when in a console, does a mouse curson appear on
the screen?
Where did the error message you listed come from? If you received that
message when X-Window
