Mouse device?

[Steven Stillaway <steve@stillaway.net>]

After much fun with rarp, arp, tftpd & nfs I finally got debian linux 
installed on the old sparc 1 that I got a hold of.

I had one strange issue with X though.  It could not find the mouse.  X was 
set to look for /dev/mouse, which did not exist.  I know that /dev/mouse is 
usually just a link to a real device, but I did not know what.

I found a reference that told me that the sparc mouse was device c 10 6 -- 
so I use mknod to create /dev/mouse (which worked), but I am still 
intereseted to know what the mouse device is called by default in a sparc.

I also found it unsual that debian did not create the symlink from 
/dev/mouse to this device, whatever it is.  Is this normal?  It was with 
debian 2.1.
