I just made an dist-upgrade from Sarge to Etch. I switched from XFree86 to Xorg, but it will not start.
here is a part of the Xorg.log (**) Generic Keyboard: Core Keyboard (**) Option "Protocol" "standard" (**) Generic Keyboard: Protocol: standard (**) Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" (**) Option "XkbRules" "xorg" (**) Generic Keyboard: XkbRules: "xorg" (**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105" (**) Generic Keyboard: XkbModel: "pc105" (**) Option "XkbLayout" "dk" (**) Generic Keyboard: XkbLayout: "dk" (**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off" (**) Generic Keyboard: CustomKeycodes disabled (**) Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" (**) Configured Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/mice" (**) Configured Mouse: Protocol: "ImPS/2" (**) Option "CorePointer" (**) Configured Mouse: Core Pointer (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice No such device. (EE) Configured Mouse: cannot open input device (EE) PreInit failed for input device "Configured Mouse" (II) UnloadModule: "mouse" (II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.14.4 (1404) Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics event device found (checked 14 nodes) Synaptics Touchpad The evdev kernel module seems to be missing (**) Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/psaux No such device.

The computer is a laptop (Compaq Presario 2100), no mouse connected. Before dist-upgrade there was no problem.
