If you use the 2.6 kernel, it's udev. /dev is a tmpfs which is crea

It's probably related to udev. I'd imagine that you can either create a
udev rule for /dev/mouse or use a boot script to create the link on each
boot.

Isn't it the other way, i.e., ln -s /dev/ttySxx /dev/mouse?

Normally /dev/mouse is just a symlink:

You're right -d was a typo, I meant -s.
Ans the r option ca be left away.

I'm no expert but I was just a little curious about the commands
that you recommended.
1. The r switch is needed with the rm command when you wish to remove
a directory and all it's contents. Jay only nee
I do believe that your mouse should be symbolically linked
to /dev/psaux and not /dev/ttyS0 or any sort of ttyS 'if' it
is a ps/2 mouse that you are using.
It is quite safe to delete mouse and relink mouse to /dev/psaux.
That is...
cd /dev
rm mouse
ln -s psaux mouse
The 's' switch creates

you don't need -r for deleting /dev/mouse, rm -f /dev/mouse will
do. don't use -rf unecessarily to avoid `accidents' ;-)
and i think you mean ln -s not ln -d, -s makes symbolic
Try:
rm -rf /dev/mouse
ln -d /dev/mouse /dev/psaux
That should do the trick, it's safe to remove the symlink..

The mouse is a Serial Mouse.
/dev/mouse i's already:
/dev/mouse -> /dev/ttyS0
and even trying:
/dev/mouse is a symlink (via ln -s) from whatever is your mouse. So if your
mouse is on com1 it should look like
/dev/mouse -> /dev/ttyS0
a ps2 is psaux.
