Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-14
Severity: normal

mdetect is easily able to detect the internal ps2 pointing device on my
LC2000 laptop. It reports:

/dev/psaux
psaux

Despite the availability of this information, xserver-xfree86's
configure script persists in prompting for the mouse port, at an
inflated debconf priority (high). The priority should be low, as there
is a reasonable default value.

It also neglects to select the /dev/psaux item in the debconf question
about the mouse port. This is not obvious if the dialog frontend is
used, since "/dev/psaux" happens to be at the top of the list and so is
the implicit default, but in the text frontend, there is no default
selected.

I am closing this bug since the submitter did not reply to the ping I
send a couple weeks ago. If anybody ever reproduces this problem, feel
free to reopen.
