Bug#333246: during configuration of XFree86 for VMwareTools '(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice' occured

2007-01-25 Thread Brice Goglin
Hi,

About a year ago, you reported a bug to the Debian BTS regarding mouse
opening problem while configuring XFree86 for VMware.
Did you reproduce this problem recently? If not, I will close this bug
in the next weeks.

Thanks,
Brice

You're basically running XFree86 inside VMware, right?

Anyway, are you loading the mousedev and psmouse modules?  I think one
of them creates /dev/input/mice

Hi Martin,

after I installed the kernel-header-files I could find something of
mousedev and psmous. But I don't know if I really load them. And if
not, how to load them. In fact I receive some error during booting
because of something might be wrong with 'mice'. On /dev/input I can se
a mice-entry. But it seems not to be a file nor a directory. The first
character (on a ls -l) shows me a c. What does this mean?

Yes, you are right: I'm trying to run debian (and XFree86) inside VMwar
5.

Thank you so far, Dieter
