    Hello,

    I just did a new install with the new installer (changed to
    testing sources) and that went really fine besides a couple
    of little bumps on the road.
    The only thing I can't figure out is why x doesn't start.It
    first tries to start and quits without an error message
    trying to start kdm.
    On startx it tells me:

    (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/psaux
          No such device
    (EE) Mouse1: cannot open input device
    (EE) PreInit failed for input device "Mouse1"

    Ok - fine so far.The problem I got with this is that it
    starts the second time I startx without any error messages
    and the mouse works fine then.

    The only odd thing is that it uses the config file in
    the /root directory but I don't see what that would have to
    do with anything.

    I'd really appreciate it if somebody could give a hint what
    it going on there.

    Klaus
