[lug] Upgrade to 2.6 kernel mouse woes

[Glenn Murray]

Hi,

I installed a stock 2.6.3 kernel image in a Debian testing
box.  It boots, but X will not start because the PS/2 mouse
can't be configured.  I've changed the Device line in
XF86Config to point to /dev/input/mice, but this and linking
to /dev/psaux doesn't help.  The X log file says
xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice, which
make sense because /dev/input/mice doesn't exist.

Google says I need to load modules mousedev and psmouse, and
modprobe or /etc/modules does that happily, but neither
helps the mouse to be found.

Any help?

Thanks,
Glenn
