it detected Mach64 basis and 8MB of SGRAM)
.

(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice
no such device

II = hello sailor?)
(II) Unloadm#Module: "Mouse"
(EE) Configured Mouse: cannot determine the mouse protocol
(WW) Cannot open APM (me: WW = Willi Wonka? :-) )

line 451 (==) ATI(0): Silken mouse enabled (me: hmmmm?)

line 467 Configured Mouse: Protocol: "Auto"

line 481 (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice
line 482 No such device (me: heck!)
line 483 (EE) Generic Mouse: cannot open input device
