I installed the X server as part of a debian sarge installation. It seems to go smoothly enough except that the mouse driver won't load when I startx. The XFRee86 log reports that there's no such device as /dev/psaux and no such device as /dev/input/mice. Can't open Configured Mouse; can't open Generic Mouse. I have the gpm daemon running in the background: # ps aux | grep gpm returns root as owner, tty1, S+ The dev interface files do exist: there is a /dev/psaux (root, root crw-rw-rw-) and a /dev/input/mice. There's a symlink from /dev/mouse to the virtual interface gpmdata, but I fudged it (copied it from elsewhere). What's a virtual interface? How can I create this symlink the proper way? I suspect the problem loading Configured Mouse and Generic Mouse has to do with the set up in /dev, and that I did not install gpm properly. I'm using a Logitek optical mouse, with a PS/2 adapter, and so use /dev/psaux as mouse type in the XFree86 configuration file, and protocol is ImPS2. I didn't do an xtrace because I assume the XFree86 log does much the same thing.
