Well, I'm glad that the touchpad is working. To use the PS2 mouse in
addition, you need to include a stanza for it in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.
Something like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Once you have that stanza in place, you need to include a reference to
it in the ServerLayout section. Something like this:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "TouchPad" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
On my system at least, this yields access to both the touchpad and the
mouse.

If not caused by absence of decryption libraries, this message often indicates
that something is amiss with the way that the device nodes are set up.
Xine comes with a nice utility call xine-check, which looks over your system to
see if it is set up properly for xine to do its work. Have you tried running that?
On my system (on which xine does a fine job of playing DVDs) the output of xine-check
looks like this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[~] xine-check
Please be patient, this script may take a while to run...
[ good ] you're using Linux, doing specific tests
[ good ] looks like you have a /proc filesystem mounted.

I compiled Xine from source rather than using the Debian packages, hence all the
references to the /usr/local/ directory. So that part of the output will be different
for you if you're using the Debian packages. But perhaps running the script will give
you more information about what's wrong/missing in your setup. Watch especially for
what it says about symbolic links in the /dev/ directory. Once you have that information
you can check it against how xine is set up (for example just by looking at the file
~/.xine/config). A common setup would be for xine to expect to find the DVD on /dev/dvd,
which in turn would be a symbolic link pointing to the actual device-node (/dev/hdc
or whatever).
