Help: Mouse under X in Testing

["Tim Wood" <tlwood@iinet.net.au>]

Hi,
     I've just upgraded to Testing, using an apt-get dist-upgrade.

I had installed 2.2r0 and upgraded regularly but had used Helix 
Gnome followed by Ximian 1.4. I had problems removing Ximian 
and it took some time to get a working  X server.

I can now start Gnome/icewm with startx but I cannot get the 
mosue to work. I used the xf86config tool to create the 
configuration and used the same settings as I had under 
XF86Setup:- PS/2 and /dev/psaux but it does not work.

I note a line saying that there is a problem with /dev/gpmdata but I 
have not started gpm.

The computer is a Gateway 5150 PII-233 64MB RAM with a 
Synaptics Touchpad.

I expect it is something simple but would welcome some help.

TIA,
      Tim Wood
