Short answer: Your mouse device is /dev/input/mice or /dev/adbmouse Long answer: If you are using a recent version of Debian (2.2r2 or later I think), then your kernel has the new input layer activated. The mouse device is /dev/input/mice. Change the /dev/mouse link to point at this file, and make sure that /etc/X11/XF86Config lists either the /dev/mouse symlink or the mice device itself, with protocol "ImPS/2". If /dev/input/mice does not exist, look in the list archives <http://lists.debian.org/> for instructions to create it. If you installed from an older Debian CD, the mouse device is /dev/adbmouse, and XF86Config should have protocol "BusMouse".
