X Fall Down Go Boom

["matthew frederick davis h." <mfdh@mac.com>]

Hello List.

    Okay -- I have managed to get an old world machine to boot directly into
Debian with quik.  Yes, I did manage to find a mouse mode that made my mouse
move around the screen (imps2)...

    But now: X won't start up at all.  The screen goes grey for a moment and
then kicks me back to the prompt, giving me the now familiar whine "Fatal
server error: Cannot open mouse (Is a directory)".

    I've configured gpm to use /dev/input/mice as my driver.  I can also
make my mouse move with /dev/input/mouse0 (though X still won't start), but
none of the other drivers works for my single-button ADB mouse.

    By the bye, I'm using Potato on a 9600 'kansas' pmac.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thanks!
