I'm pretty sure GPM is not installed, I remember trying to install

I just checked the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and the mouse is (as it
should be) listed as /dev/input/mice. However I tried putting it as
/dev/psaux to no avail.
What happens if you type "cat /dev/input/mice" and then move the mouse
around? You should get garbage on the screen. (Ctrl-C to break out of
this.)
I can't understand why the dist-upgrade today would have caused a
mouse config problem.
The windows partition is NTFS...I don't know how to command line a
logfile to a floppy...basiaclly I am "command-line stupid" here.
I am somehow fairly cetain that re-installing the nvidia driver might
help,
Only if you have video driver problems _in addition to_ your "core input
device" problems. I'd suggest you address the problem that the logfile
refers to, before chasing a different problem.
Here's how to put the "XFree86.0.log" file on a floppy.
Boot into Linux.
Put formatted floppy in drive (FAT32 preferably).
Become root.
"mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt"
"cp /var/log/XFree86.0.log /mnt"
"umount /mnt"
Reboot into Windows.
