Hmm.. I don't own an USB mouse, so I guess that I should not have a
device named /dev/input/mice. Perhaps my problem is caused by the fact
that I don't know how to force "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" to
avoid creating a reference to a generic USB-mouse.
Anyways.. This is not a big issue for me. I can just edit my XF86Config-4 by
hand, and change the md5sums afterwards. Thanks for the help
