While I'm no expert, I had that problem 11 months ago moving from 2.4 to
2.6 kernels.
Suggestions:
1) "in the summer" was too long ago. From log-in console:
Check and/or edit /etc/apt/sources.list then:
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade
Now you'll have a known, secure, up-to-date foundation.
Try starting X now...
Send us the relevant errors from XFree86.0.log.
2) I needed to have psmouse and mousedev in /etc/modules on that old
system I mentioned above.
3) On another system with this problem last year, I just used the
Knoppix config file! Moved /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 out of the way, and
then I used the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 generated by knoppix.
Also, compare /etc/modules, /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, and /var/log/
XFree86.0.log from sarge and knoppix runs for any hints...
Good luck!
