caused the "Generic" mouse to appear somehow.
Now I have carefully edited the XF86Config-4 file, to remove the references
to the "Generic" mouse, but still got no mouse response in X.
I am concerned that the text:
"If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following commands as root:
#
# cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config- 4.custom
# md5sum /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 >/var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86"
is important, but don't know if it is significant. I did as it instructed,
but ended up with the same file as before!
I have the file /var/log/XFree86.0.log available, but it is rather lengthy
to post here right now.
I am very new to Debian, so please don't post "try this." or "maybe
that.." because I won't be able to follow. I have been scouring forums
(there are so many!) and trying various "fixes" that were suggested, but
might have made things worse by partial (or no) understanding! I guess I
need quite explicit instructions on where to go (within Debian, preferably)
and what to do.
Anybody willing to take this on
Thanks, much

If it is a PS/2 mouse you should not have that /dev/input/mouse
section. For PS/2 you should be fine with just /dev/psaux.
Use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to reconfigure X again and just
choose PS/2 when selecting mouse.
let us know if the problem still exists.
Couple of other things:

ith each e-mail. If I use the "reply" button in
Gmail, the reply goes to the sender, and not to the list. It would be
infinitely better for me to keep similar posts in a thread together,
and to reply to the list.
Anybody know how to do that in Gmail?
Thanks
