I do not see cursor neither in xdm nor kdm (KDE desktop manager)
But mouse works! I can make operations with windows.
When I press a right button a po-up menu is activated in
appropriate place on a screen
And yes, I have such a link
/dev/mouse --> /dev/psaux

What is unclutter? A setting in XF86Congig?
I did not make any special setting there.
Is it possible to run X without window manager?
I remember an error that I got after running startx
when I had no window manager installed.
It was something like no window manager was found.

Yes, it is realy very strange.
I already installed successfully debian-potato two times
but in another motherboard. Now I make the same actions
as I did before.
