Re: Cannot open mouse (No such &c.



Hello Matthew,

I had the same problem. However, here's how I managed to help myself. 

cd /dev
rm mouse
ln input/mice mouse
cd /etc/X11
<edit XF86Confg and change device "/dev/mouse" by device "/dev/gpmdata",
Protocol "MouseSystems" (? not sure of this one)>
gpm -R -t ps2
startx

Everything should go ok.
