I just checked under both 2.6.0-test5 and 2.4.22: in both cases 'mdetect -x' reports back PS/2, so that's not it. > Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't be of much more help on this question. > > I don't have a good theory on how your mouse configuration got changed > and, as I said, there's no evidence trail to follow. That's okay -- my system is working, and I've learned more about how X in Debian works, so I'm happy. I see reporting bugs as an obligation for Testing users; that is the only reason I filed a report. I figured if it happened to me it would happen to others, but if nobody else is reporting this... I spoke with another Debian user today who also reconfigures his X11 by hand -- he was very happy to learn about the new md5sum procedure. Again, thanks for your help. --Andre
