I ran MAKEDEV generic-powerpc after rpm -e'ing the dev RPM. This created
the devices I needed to run X and use the mouse, which is /dev/adbmouse.
/etc/X11/XFree86Config looks like:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "BusMouse"
Device "/dev/adbmouse"
...

What are the nodes that I have to make and how do I make them? If the
nodes aren't too hard to make, why aren't they in the debian package?

The big question here
I reinstalled Potato on the following machine and can't start the mouse
in X:
Machine: PowerComputing PowerCenter 120
