X.org is failing to start because /dev/input/mice doesn't
exist. I looked in /dev/input, and I've got
event0 event1 event2 event3 mouse0 mouse1 ts0 ts1
Those mouse* devices are only there, it turns out, because I
had the mousedev module loaded. If I change the line in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf from
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
to
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
, X.org starts but gives me an immobile mouse. So that's not
the right approach.
Everything seemed to be working fine as of last night, and
I've not upgraded since then.
How does one get /dev/input/mice?
