does "garbage characters" mean weird printable characters (so I can see 
them in the editor) or bytes that are in the file but not seen in the 
editor?

I put it on

http://www.christeck.de/files/xorg.conf

It originally was created by Knoppix :-} .

I just added a line at the end of the files section pointing 
to /dev/input/mice, but it didn't help.

Cool idea, as long we can be sure that there aren't lines around the 
mouse related lines which report further information.

I did

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i mouse

(**) |-->Input Device "PS/2 Mouse"
(**) Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "true"
(II) LoadModule: "mouse"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/mouse_drv.o
(II) Module mouse: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
(==) NV(0): Silken mouse enabled
(**) PS/2 Mouse: Device: "/dev/psaux"
(**) PS/2 Mouse: Protocol: "PS/2"
(**) PS/2 Mouse: always reports core events
(**) PS/2 Mouse: Core Pointer
(**) PS/2 Mouse: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 70
(**) PS/2 Mouse: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) PS/2 Mouse: Buttons: 5
(**) PS/2 Mouse: SmartScroll: 1
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "PS/2 Mouse" (type: MOUSE)
(II) PS/2 Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
(II) PS/2 Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded

I wonder that it only tells something about /dev/psaux and PS/S mouse, 
but where is my USB mouse? 


Thanks & best regards
