I would get rid of the symlink and switch your config to use /dev/psaux, so that if you later get a USB mouse, the device node will exist for it. > The new setting (/dev/input/mice) seems to be an XFree-86-4'ism.

No, it's a USBism. /dev/input/mice has always (well, since before I've had a USB mouse) been what you use for a USB mouse. The problem was simply that you never mentioned what port you were connecting to, and the responders all assumed USB, so they gave you the configuration for a USB mouse. > When I tried "mknod /dev/input/mice c 13 63" I got a 'cannot open / no > such device' upon starting X. This is simply because there is no such device (i.e. no USB mouse). Actually the /dev/input/ directory isn't just for USB, it's the new HID input layer, which is also used on older macs for their ADB devices. -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/
