Presumably you have a Savage/IX /MX video card (My T20 has this one), did you
use this patched version of X-server instead of the one from the original debian
distribution?

It should work.

Setting the device to /dev/psaux works fine for my T20.
And maybe you know this already, /dev/mouse is normally a symbolic link.

In this connection, I'd like to ask for some information. After I upgraded to
woody,
I lost my gpm. Apparently /dev/gpmctl gone missing and I was not able to get in
back.
I was told that it may be a pipe but creating it manually doesn't work. Anyone
has any such experience or the answer?
