    I'm sure I'm just missing something stupid, but google doesn't seem to turn
    up anything, so...

    I'm trying to use 2.6.0-test9 on a machine with a USB mouse. With 2.4, I
    have X configured to use /dev/input/mice (c 13 63) as my mouse pointer,
    and it works great. With test9, XFree86 fails to start because it can't
    open the mouse. The error is "xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/
    input/mice No such device.".

    'cat /dev/input/mice' also gives me "No such device".

    /dev/input/mouse0 (c 13 32) doesn't work either.

    I believe all of the relevant modules are loaded and the light on my
    optical mouse is lit, indicating that it has been powered by the usbmouse
    driver (as I understand it).

    Any suggestions as to what might be wrong or how I could investigate it?

    I'm attaching the output of lsmod, in case it's useful. The test9 build
    I'm using is the one packaged by Debian.

    Thanks,

    Shawn.
