Make sure that /dev/mouse is a link to /dev/psaux.
Or, make sure that /dev/psaux is defined in XF86Config.


As for the SVGA server, I get this on startx:

X: exec of usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA failed
_X11TranSocketUNIXConnect: can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.

xinit: connection refused (errno 111) unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): server error

Do you have
127.0.0.1           localhost
in your /etc/hosts?

X uses the network, even if your machine doesn't have any NIC; that's why you'd need 127.0.0.1. Well, of course, in the /etc/init.d/network script, you'd need "ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1".

Another thing... you'd need to have "Unix domain sockets" support in your kernel (or have it as a module).
