if using 2.2.18pre21 or later:
change the mouse device to /dev/input/mice.
if that does not exist run this script as root:
===cut===
#! /bin/sh -e
if [ `id -u` != 0 ] ; then
echo 1>&2 "You are not root, go away"
exit 1
fi
cd /dev
mkdir -m 755 input
cd input
mknod -m 640 mice c 13 63
mknod -m 640 event0 c 13 64
mknod -m 640 event1 c 13 65
mknod -m 640 event2 c 13 66
mknod -m 640 event3 c 13 67
mknod -m 644 js0 c 13 0
mknod -m 644 js1 c 13 1
mknod -m 644 js2 c 13 2
mknod -m 644 js3 c 13 3
mknod -m 640 mouse0 c 13 32
mknod -m 640 mouse1 c 13 33
mknod -m 640 mouse2 c 13 34
mknod -m 640 mouse3 c 13 35
cd /dev
rm -f mouse
ln -s input/mice mouse
rm -f adbmouse usbmouse
echo "input devices created successfully"
exit 0
===cut===
if you are using less then 2.2.19 run:
apt-get update && apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.19-pmac.
make sure security.debian.org is in /etc/apt/sources.list.
