X and /dev/psaux

[Glen S Mehn]

OK, this one is maybe easy?

Debian 2.2, latest release of X, running on a Micron millenia w/ a
nVidia Riva 128 (8MB) graphics card using SF_XVGA and a ms
intellimouse(ps/2):

I get a fatal error starting X: not able to connect to mouse.

At first I realised that I had set it to point to /dev/ttyS0, changed it
to /dev/psaux, but X still crashes right when it loads.

Regards,

glen

is psaux support compiled into the kernel?  hit dmesg | more on my machine
(i use /dev/psaux too) i get this during boot:

Detected PS/2 Mouse Port.

also check /proc/interrupts
mine has this:

 12: 671209 669524IO-APIC-edge  PS/2 Mouse

and/or check /proc/misc
mine has this:

  1 psaux

lastly, try gpm with the mouse before you try X, you may be using the
wrong protocol. (see gpm -h for help)
