Re: xserver-xorg crash: "configured mouse"

[Ice <ice.eleven@gmail.com>]

I had a similiar problem after a dist-upgrade my dev directory was... vacant.  what kernel is your box running? (uname -r)
you also have to make sure udevd starts up at boot up.  is udevd running? 
 "pgrep udevd -l" will let you know
whats the output of #cat /dev/input/mice (as root.  if it works move your mouse around and not any odd symbols displaying)

I forgot, this stuck out at me: the first line of the error report
with an error says "xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device
/dev/input/mice"

I had a similar problem with a new install of etch recently.  Replacing /dev/input/mice with /dev/psaux in /etc/X11/xorg.conf corrected the problem for me.
