Ah, yes; you have not usb support. Try running "modconf" and select such things as usb/uhci (assuming you have uhci controllers - "lspci -v" will tell you, or you may need ohci, or maybe even the alternative uhci module - don't remember its name), usbcore, and hid (human interface device). I'm not sure exactly which modules you'll need, but you don't have any loaded.
Ok, so I used modconf and found everything relevent looking. from lspci I saw to use the
uhci instead of ohci. I installed a few non-mouse things too, to cover the rest of my hardware.
So after I've installed the modules I startx and get a pointer! I can move it correctly,
Yea! However, I would still encourage you to post this solution on your original thread, for the sake of future knowledge searchers.
but
after a few seconds moment there is a fatal server error: caught signal 11. Server aborting.
I rebooted. This time I get the login screen, I type my username/pasword (mouse still working), KDE starts loading but about halfway through takes me back to the login screen. After a few tries I try signing in as root, but this time it throws me out to the comand line!
I've noticed there are a few errors reported in the syslog relating to fonts, plus one towards the end of XFree86.0.log. Get newly uploaded versions here again: http://users.aber.ac.uk/jqh1/x/
I don't see anything obvious; the font errors should be ignorable for now. I suspect a problem with KDE; I'd suggest you try something simpler for now, like icewm (apt-get install icewm, and then choose icewm from the menu in your login screen if it exists, or create a file in your home directory with the name .xinitrc with the single line "icewm" in it).
