"certain mouse operations" - care to clarify? > My /var/log/XFree86.0.log contains this, which might explain the problem: > > (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice > No such device. > (EE) Generic Mouse: cannot open input device > (EE) PreInit failed for input device "Generic Mouse" > (II) UnloadModule: "mouse" > (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Configured Mouse" (type: MOUSE) > > but that device does exist: > > mbc@rilke:/tmp$ ls -la /dev/input/mice > crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 63 Mar 14 13:54 /dev/input/mice > > So, is my xfree86 just improperly configured?

When I did a clean install of 4.2.0 debs I too got a "Generic Mouse" section that refered to /dev/input/mice (and I'm prety sure that I didn't answer any questions in such a way as to suggest this). Figuring that it was irrelevant, I commented out this bit of the config and made sure that my "Configured Mouse" was a reasonable reflection of reality. What does your "Configured Mouse" section look like, what kind of mouse do you have and how's it connected? > For comparison, using lindows with the same debs, my mouse works fine. > I tried using the XFConfig-4 from lindows, and that didn't help the > problem.
