Hi all,

Here is a very critical problem. I had a running Xwindow . *mdetect -x* 
displayed
/dev/psaux
ImPS/2

I also have the same configuration in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

2 days ago I  installed *xdebconfigurator* in my debian sarge (testing) to 
test the automatic building of a XF86Config-4. But *xdebconfigurator* 
couldn't work properly. Anyhow after that whenever I try to fire-up  *startx* 
it shows *input core pointer device missing* , hence I can't get graphics any 
more. more over *mdetect* couldn't detect the mouse any more. I have then 
investigated the /etc/modprobed.d/aliases and found there a line as

alias char-major-10-1 psmouse

doing *modprobe psmouse* loads psmouse module and I have no problem to start 
Xwindow and mdetect also detects as before -:)  ( but *insmod psmouse* shows 
no such file)  So I have edited the /etc/modutils/aliases to add two lines as

alias char-major-10-1 psmouse
alias /dev/psaux     psmouse

then I did *update-modules.modutils* to update /etc/modules.conf 

But after rebooting the machine it doesn't load the module psmouse though 
the /etc/modules.conf reflects the modification I have done. So I have to 
manually load it with modprobe every time. Could any one kindly suggest me 
what to do to get back the auto loading of psmouse as before ??

PS: I can use /etc/modules. but it is not the default position and I am 
looking for the default position which was used to activate PS/2 before 
cracking by *xdebconfigurator*. debian users could you kindly investigate 
your /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modutils for PS/2 mouse modules ??

thanks,
J. Bakshi
