Sarge has both hotplug and discover and one of those loads those drivers for me at system boot time. > I looked at /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and found that I > have entries for "Configured Mouse" at "/dev/psaux" > and "Generic Mouse" at "/dev/input/mice".

That is how you can have both a (im)ps2 mouse and a usb mouse at the same time. > Can someone tell me what's going on? I've run Fedora Not a clue. But is your mouse outputing information? Try this. When you move the mouse you should see some data from the device. Break out of it to stop it. sudo od -tx1 /dev/psaux If you have mousedev loaded then the /dev/input/mice should work too. sudo od -tx1 /dev/input/mice If you don't see anything then there is no way that X11 will see anything either.
