Yea
My mouse (trackpad) does not work after installing many packages,
including gnome related, on my Sony Vaio F340. I have
/dev/mouse in /etc/XF86Config and I linked
ln -s /dev/psaux /dev/mouse. Does anyone have an idea what
to do next or how I might probe to check it out?

Check the file $HOME/.xsession-errors for clues. Also, I've had
better luck with xf86config than with XF86Setup.

"echo twm > ~/.xinitrc"

Hi Steven,
I'm going to go ahead and CC: the list because this is odd.
Are you sure there's no /dev/psaux ? That really should be
there.. ( on my HP the touchpad is a ps/2 device, can't say

Hi Steven,
Please send the output of "ls -la /dev/mouse"
If it is /dev/gpmdata, then gpm must be installed and running,

If it is blank, either do the above, or, if you don't want
or care about having the mouse on the console, just symlink
