Hi,
I'm trying to install debian on my system, and everything works out pretty fine, except the mouse part. Firstly, there's no /dev/mouse. So I figure that shouldnt be a problem and get gpm up and running and use /dev/psaux and then I do a startx. Then, when I move the mouse around, the pointer initially goes haywire, and then come to a complete standstill at the centre of the screen. My mouse is a PS/2 type. Any sol^ns ?

here is the pointer section from my XF86Config file (logitech ps2 scroll mouse with gpm running)
Section "Pointer" Protocol "IMPS2" Device "/dev/gpmdata" EndSection

You can ln -s /dev/psaux /dev/mouse if you want

Wrong protocol. Check in XF86Config for what your mouse is set as.
