Still isn't working. When I specify "Device" as "/dev/psaux", GNOME opens and the XF86Config states that the mouse loaded correctly in all respects. When "Device" is "/dev/mouse", the XF86Config states that xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/mouse...no such file or directory".
What's more, lsmod does not indicate that 'mouse' is loaded (I'm not sure if it is supposed to). When I try to 'insmod mouse' I recieve 'no module by that name found'. (I don't know if this is normal either). On boot-up I sometimes see the line "(No mouse configured)', but only occasionally. Any ideas? Greatly appreciated, Wes Grate Does any of the following information seem wrong: last line of boot.log: "AUDIT ...
