RE: USB Mouse potato
Check for your mouse' compatibility with the USB in 2.2 kernel.
If yes, configure the XF86Config file with Protocol as "IMPS/2". Don't
give the protocol as "USB", as documented in some places.

Subject: USB Mouse potato
X fails because I cannot configure the mouse. A USB wheel mouse.
Unfortunately my machine has four USB ports, no PS/2 or serial ports, so
using a different mouse type is out of the question.
Debian version is potato. I would like to avoid having to download woody
if possible.
Strangely, an probably of no relation to my USB problem, dmesg reports
that a PS/2 mouse port was found. STrange because there is no PS/2 port
on the machine.
Please help!
