Sorry...
the last bit of the /var/log/XFree86.0.log says the following:
(**) Configured Mouse: Protocol:"ImPS/2"
(**) Option "CorePointer"
(**) Configured MOuse: Core Pointer
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice No such device
(EE) Configured Mouse: cannot open input device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Configured Mouse"
(II) UnloadModule: "mouse"
(WW) No core pointer registered
(II) Server_Terminate keybinding not found
No core pointer
fatal server error: failed to initialize core devices
(my mouse - the inbuilt one - never gave a problem before. in fact, it
worked straight after the first debian installation.)
