I took the XFree86config-4 file from Knoppix 3.6 but it still doesn't work......although Knoppix works fine...
I get no error messages ....gnome starts fine but no mouse..
any ideas......?
or part of the XFree86Config file for a similar distro
thanks

My Debian is real rusty, but what I do remember, is that the desgnation for the mouse changed with the kernel 2.6 series. Look in the XF86config-4 file under the mouse section and see if it says /dev/psaux or /dev/input/mice.
Also, at a console, type lsmod as root user and see if modules psmouse and mousedev are loaded.
