Ah, yes; you have not usb support. Try running "modconf" and select such
things as usb/uhci (assuming you have uhci controllers - "lspci -v" will
tell you, or you may need ohci, or maybe even the alternative uhci
module - don't remember its name), usbcore, and hid (human interface
device). I'm not sure exactly which modules you'll need, but you don't
have any loaded.
Ok, so I used modconf and found everything relevent looking. from lspci I
saw to use the
uhci instead of ohci. I installed a few non-mouse things too, to cover the
rest of my hardware.
So after I've installed the modules I startx and get a pointer! I can move
it correctly, but
after a few seconds moment there is a fatal server error: caught signal
11. Server aborting.
I rebooted. This time I get the login screen, I type my username/pasword
(mouse still working), KDE starts loading but about halfway through takes
me back to the login screen. After a few tries I try signing in as root,
but this time it throws me out to the comand line!
I've noticed there are a few errors reported in the syslog relating to
fonts, plus one towards the end of XFree86.0.log. Get newly uploaded
versions here again: http://users.aber.ac.uk/jqh1/x/
I don't know how relevent it is, but here are the modules I installed:
input/input
input/mousedev
sound/emu10k1/emu10k1
usb/modules/usb-uhci
usb/modules/usbmouse
usb/modules/usbkbd
usb/modules/scanner
usb/storage/usb-storage
