[lug] USB Mouse w/Debian

[Gary Hodges]

Well, here we go.  I was really hoping to get further than this before 
posting!  I'm trying to get X started and I'm getting an error about the 
mouse.

(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice
        No such device.
(EE) USB Mice: cannot open input device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "USB Mice"
(II) Keyboard "Keyboard1" handled by legacy driver
(WW) No core pointer registered
No core pointer
Fatal server error:
failed to initialize core devices

I've tried a bunch of different things in the XF86Config-4 file, 
including cut and pastes from the Debian site.   Here is my last attempt:

    Identifier  "USB Mice"
    Driver "mouse"
#    Option "CorePointer"
    Option "Protocol" "imps/2"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
#    Option "Device" "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
#    Option "Buttons" "5"

At this point I'm guessing it must not be related to the XF86Config 
file.  Maybe a missing kernel module?
