Create the directory /dev/input/ first (as root).

Final installment: Yes, I got it to work. For the information
of anybody else out there who runs into the same problem, the
answer for *this* machine proved to be the existing file
"/dev/usbmouse". As in,... /etc/X11/XF86Config needs to say:
protocol: "IMPS/2"
device: "usbmouse"

Georg, Andrew, Michel, and Russell,
I am going to answer everybody who's helped in one post,
rather than clog up everybody's mail box.
First, thanks to everybody for all their help and tolerance
for my ignorance, I really appreciate it.
Second, answers to questions people asked:

Nope. I had X running on my G4 with 2.2.19 without problems a long time.

Sisi,
Thanks for the post. Yes, I was trying to run
gpmconfig as root and, yes, I think apt-get is
the next stop. Thanks again,
Mike

Georg and Andy,
Alas, sorry to come back with bad news, and if you're
getting sick of this, I can't blame you, so am I.
Anyway, tried your suggestions with the following

Thanks, Colin.
I haven't had a chance to try any of the latest suggestions
from people yet, but some sort of upgrade is looking like
the easiest/best solution. To go to a new kernel would
mean, I think, getting it on CD, as that's how my present
system is set up (I think), and I haven't managed to
George and Andy,
Thanks again, guys. I will try some further experimantation,
but facing the music and upgrading to Woody may be the best
answer after all.
I really appreciate your time and attention.

Maybe the "G4"s require a 2.4 kernel to run X? In that case, since
you're running potato, you could download the kernel source, and use
kernel-package to generate a .deb to install.

George,
Thanks a lot for your reply, I really appreciate it, and
will take a look at the settings you included. I guess,
though, that you're using Woody (or Sid), because you say
you are running XFree86 4.1 and your configuration shows

I am really most sincerely sorry if I am trying people's
patience here, but when I say I've done the research, I
have, in fact, done the research. I have seen the posts
about dev/mouse, dev/input/mice, etc., etc., etc. Further-

Paul,
Thanks for your response. I will check that, but, unfortunately,
I believe I looked for that file at one time, too, and it's not
there either. Do these files get created by the installation
process and might that have failed to happen? If so, how do

Someone told me to use /dev/input/mice - it's working for me.
