... that may be true if you rely on something like hotplug to load the mousedev module (or whichever one is behind /dev/input/mice), but if you load that unconditionally (e.g. by putting it into /etc/modules), /dev/input/mice works whether a mouse is connected or not. Not to mention that /dev/input/mice isn't only for USB mice but the trackpad as well. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
