What is the mouse? USB? My iMac allows only usb mouse so I assume your
mouse is USB. If so I beleive that you have to make sure that the relevant
kernel modules are loaded (input.o and mousedev.o I beleive [it has been a
while since my iMac ran Linux]) and the path to the dev file in this
instance would be /dev/input/mice not /dev/psaux as I infer your XFree86
config says given your posted output for X startup.

PS I know assumptions are bad usually but it was all I had to go on.

Subject: X does not start
Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2002 13:39:15 +0100
Hello,
I recently installed woody (by ftp) on a first-generation iMac (code : 406,
RAM : 32 MB); everything went fine, except that when typing "startx", or
"startx kde", or "startx gnome", the system cannot do it. At the first
start after installation, it proposed to fix the problem by configuring
again the X server, and I said yes, but then nothing happened during 25
minutes (the on/off button had become red) and I finally had to switch off.
Maybe I should have left it more time?
Anyway, the log message was saying this, among other things that seem less
important:
"
(**) Configured Mouse : Protocol : "PS/2"
(**) Configured Mouse : Core Pointer
(EE) xf86OpenSerial : Cannot open device /dev/psaux
no such device
(EE) Configured Mouse :cannot open input device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Conf Mouse"
(**) Generic Mouse : protocol : "ImPS/2"
(**) Generic Mouse : always reports core events
(==) Generic Mouse : Buttons = 3
(**) Generic Mouse : Emulate 3 buttons, Emulate 3timeout
(**) Generic Mouse : ZAxisMapping : buttons 4 and 5
(WW) No core pointer registered
(II) XINPUT : Adding extended input device "Generic Mouse" (Type = Mouse)
no core pointer
Fatal Server error:

When reporting a problem, etc.."
Is there a solution?
