Potato/164LX - Errors from xkbcomp, Fatal server error, cannot open mouse
Hi,
I have the same message as this post to the newsgroup a while ago.
Didn't seem to be a followup to the Xserver error. I just installed
2.2rev0 to an Alpha PC164LX.

additionally I get
"Fatal server error, cannot open mouse"
During the setup I chose /dev/mouse but there is no mouse device in
/dev.
XF86 setup seemed to go fine with no errors on the errror console. Is
this error just because there is no mouse device? Or are there two
errors here?
Actually I just blew away a RedHat 6.0 to upgrade to Debian :-)
