Sorry about the empty reply... caffiene is a bad idea
this late in the evening...
I definately get output from both sudo commands, and
'lsmod' confirms that the modules are loaded after I
manage to get X up and working. Again, I tried adding
psmouse and mousedev to /etc/modules, but in that case
X starts but the mouse doesn't work at all.
One thing I've found is that if I do a 'modprobe
psmouse' prior to 'startx', then X will start straight
away and the mouse works fine... any ideas?
