first of all: thanks a lot for all the help!
we made some progress: indeed the module mousedev
was missing, now i get input on /dev/input/mice.
nice!
i also deinstalled gpm.
Now I can move the curser with the usb mouse
and i can make one click, after that i can not
click anything anymore, only thing that is still
working is the wheel and i can still move the curser.
also the synaptics touchpad shows the same symptoms.
unplugging the usb mouse does not help, i have to kill
the Xserver and restart to make the touchpad work again.
so i guess this is a mistake in the XFree86 - configuration,
here is my XFConfig-4:
...
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
# Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
...
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Generic Mouse" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
and here some output from XFree86.0.log:
