Cannot find Mouse

[Jim Darrough <jed@clipper.net>]

Hello.

	I installed debian Potato on a K6-266 box with 64m memory and am having 
minor technical difficulties with the mouse. I did apt-get install Gnome, 
used tasksel to install all the x stuff, and did xf86config but when I try 
to start the x-server, it crashes and tells me that it can't find the 
mouse. Running gpm I can see the mouse cursor, so I know it works, but as I 
said, I cannot get it to work with X. I ran XF86Setup, but cannot get the 
mouse to work no matter which protocol I try. When I first installed X it 
told me there was no /dev/mouse directory, so I created one. From then on 
things got worse. Where can I look for documentation? I would be happy to 
read about it and then try to ask more intelligent questions.

	Another question: Apt-get can do myriad things. I see references to many 
different commands on this reflector, and would like to read about it's 
capabilities and maybe get a complete command list/description. Does anyone 
know of a nice document I can print?

Regards,
