SOLVED RE: (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice: No Such Device

modprobe mousdev and then md5'ing the config file.

ROFLOL, Video card?
Install gpm so mouse can work in tty as well as X (very handy) and in
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "Protocol" "IntelliMouse"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
