cannot get ps/2 mouse to work with x11 (part II)
Several people suggested that I need CONFIG_PSMOUSE compiled into the
kernel -- well, it is. (I forgot to mention that in my first posting,
sorry.)
And I tested the mouse with the svgalib/testmouse - it works fine using
/dev/psmouse and MOUSE_PS2 in the mouse_init.
So, I'm back to where I started... any help?

Subject: cannot get ps/2 mouse to work with x11
I've got a DECpc LPx 466d2 with a PS/2 type mouse. The mouse worked
under X11 with debian 0.93R5 but I cannot get it to work with my new
0.93R6 install.
The particulars...
bash# ls -al /dev/*mous*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 10, 3 Oct 18 12:01 /dev/atimouse
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 10, 4 Oct 18 12:01 /dev/jmouse
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 10, 0 Oct 18 12:01 /dev/logimouse
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 10, 2 Oct 18 12:01 /dev/msmouse
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 10, 1 Oct 18 12:01 /dev/psmouse
bash#
and from XF86config...
# **********************************************************************

Section "Pointer"
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/psmouse"
and the error after "startx"...
Fatal server error:
Cannot open mouse (No such file or directory)
Any suggestions on how to fix this???
TIA.
