ltsp: cannot open devices '/dev/psaux' '/dev/mouse'
Hi, logging in as a user on the server I was given the choice an X or
Gnome setup. I chose X and the mouse started to work intermittently and
then died. Worse, when I rebooted into into the XP partition it was also
stuck firmly in the center of the screen.
Error messages include '(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device
/dev/psaux, No such device' and '(EE) xf86OpenSerial: cannot open
device /dev/mouse, No such file or directory'. The /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
looks OK, but I'm not sure if I should be looking for a
/tmp/XF86Config-4 file. My current /tmp does not contain one. Looking at
the filesystem, /dev/psaux exists, but /dev/mouse does not. Output from
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 includes "(EE) PreInit failed for input device
'Generic Mouse' (II) Unload Module: 'mouse' (WW) No core pointer
registered. No core pointer." I am writing this on the client machine.
Any ideas ?
This IntelliMouse has been good to me for a long time.
