check your kernel, if its 2.2.18pre21 or later, you need to use
/dev/input/mice as the mouse device.  if you installed potato r2 then
that device already exists.  if not check -powerpc archives for how to
create it (hint, its not be destroying your box with a dev .rpm).  or
i can send you a small shellscript to populate /dev/input.
