Re: /dev/mouse problem
I do believe that your mouse should be symbolically linked
to /dev/psaux and not /dev/ttyS0 or any sort of ttyS 'if' it
is a ps/2 mouse that you are using.
It is quite safe to delete mouse and relink mouse to /dev/psaux.
That is...
cd /dev
rm mouse
ln -s psaux mouse
The 's' switch creates the symbolic link. If you
ls -l mouse
you should see that it now points to psaux. If when you configured any
programs you used ttyS0 and not /dev/mouse you may need to makes
some changes in some configuration file or run the set up program
again.
