RE: [Sheflug] Debian Box

["Paul Sims" <nospam [at] lombard.co.uk>]

AFAIK Bob recompiled the kernel to include the old /proc/pci, as the system 
couldn't detect your vga card properly with it as it stood, which is why X 
didn't work.

If the mouse is serial, try renaming the modules dir (say, 
/lib/modules/2.2.x.old) and remake the modules - cd /usr/src/linux, make 
modules modules_install & reboot.

I've had oddities with serial mice where the serial module has proved 
responsible - deleting/renaming it & recreating the mods & deps seems to 
fix it.

If it's a PS/2 mouse check the kernel config & make sure PS/2 mouse support 
is enabled. Finally, check /dev/mouse is pointing to the right port - 
/dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, /dev/psaux.
