Comments/Problems:
* Initial install worked perfect
(except the incorrect 800x600 graphical resolution)
* after the reboot and tasksel, gdm turned on OK,
and mouse _did_ work (the first time) !
* turned off system (all seemed OK)
* turned on system ia few days later (8 May)
==> X failed to start
==> cause was clearly that no mouse available on
/dev/psaux
/dev/input/mice
[I give dmesg below]
[I only tried the built-in mouse in the keyboard of laptop,
I did not try an external mouse]
==> also installed 2.6.8-686 kernel (with apt-get today 8 May
2005 around 1900 UTC), same problem
==> I reverted to the old hard disk with an old 2.4.xx kernel
and mouse worked
==> I reverted back to the new disk with the fresh 2.6 install
and mouse still failed to work
==> I installed (with apt-get install kernel-image-2.4-686),
back on the new disk, booted into that and mouse worked
==> I adapted /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 in this sense
ImPS/2 --> PS/2 to make the mouse operate correctly
==> I adapted /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to increase the largest
resolution to "1024x768" from the original "800x600"
(I believe the LCD of my laptop is natively 1024x768)
==> I booted back into 2.6.8-686 and still no mouse operation
(/dev/psaux and /dev/input/mice do not exist ...)
==> SOLUTION: some googling brought me to this page:
http://debianplanet.org/node.php?id=1094 with the issue:
"As many other have pointet out, it is often not that simple. I had
went from debian-2.4.something - kernel.org 2.6-test1, then I
followed the kernel.org until last weekend when I installed a
2.6.5-kernel from debian. When I booted the new .deb kernel,
X-never came up..... It turned out that I had to manually
modprobe the psmouse module... So to claim that the 2.6 - kernel
is just an apt-get away, is a slight oversimplification..."
So, I executed
#modprobe psmouse
and now it works :-)
==> today (14 May) I rebooted into this new disk and with
#modprobe psmouse
the mouse (/dev/input/mice) worked again.
==> I don't know how this should work "officially" ? Maybe there is
some discover protocol that does not work on my laptop ? I am
prepared to try out alternatives. For now, I will patch it with
adding psmouse to my /etc/modules, but I want to contribute to
finding the "right" solution to this problem.

Congratulations, you have just found [1] ;-)
Just add psmouse to /etc/modules and your problems will be over.
Closing the report as this was the only issue from the installation.
Thank you for your report.
