    Hi,
            I booted up my Debian unstable distro today only to find
    the cursor static in center of screen and no sound.

            Upon checking, the hardware is OK, but I cannot find
    /dev/mouse as specified in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and Mplayer gives
    me the message

    "audio setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: no such device"

            Upon checking, /dev/dsp proves to be missing.

    What is happening here ? Is this part of some unstable apt-upgrade/update
    transition ? Have others had the same problem ?

            I'd welcome any constructive advice.

    Adam Bogacki,
