Hi all,
I have a Debian testing/unstable amd64 system. It was working fine and
then I installed a couple of cursor packages like "crystal-cursor" and
"comix-cursor". Changed the mouse cursor from default to crystalblue

Unless you have a logitec wheel mouse, you may have slightly different
values for the Options, most noticably you need to know which protocol
is being used.
If you find several of these sections, look at the begining of the
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and it will tell you which one

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
I am a new user of Debian Linux. After much guesswork I have managed to
install Debian and XFree86 (not provided with the CD).
Unfortunately when installing Debian I could not include a mouse driver
in the kernal because some a "device in use" error. As a consequence I
cannot use XFree86.
