Re: No Mouse, No X Windows
Chances are good that your mouse is a PS/2 style, and the device X
should look for is /dev/psaux. You can either run XF86Config and
change the setting to look for /dev/psaux or you can create a symlink by
running "ln -s /dev/psaux /dev/mouse" as root. If that doesn't work,
then you need a different driver. XF86Config will list many, with
several devices to choose from. If you post more info about your
specific mouse and how it plugs into your computer, someone will help.

| I'm almost there... Almost running x windows... But x-windows drops out from initializing giving me an error indicating that there is no mouse. And sure enough the file it was looking for, /dev/mouse, is not there! I've been looking for some way to create or install a mouse. I must be looking in the wrong places (HOWTO's aren't helping). I just want to install a standard microsoft mouse. I know this is easy, but I can't seem to find information on this, maybe makedev can do this? ARGH!!! Help...Please?!!
