The mouse proves elusive:
# dmesg |grep -i mouse
[ 2.645218] mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
[ 3.225344] psmouse serio1: logips2pp: Detected unknown
Logitech mouse model
90
[ 3.722367] input: ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse as
/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input2
BUT:
Running $ X -configure yields:
"Xorg is not able to detect your mouse.
"Edit the file and correct the Device."
The file in question looks like this:

Running X -config xorg.conf.new produces a nice blank black
screen but no sign of a mouse.
