Re: [TCLUG:22015] Dead Mouse

["Thomas T. Veldhouse" <veldy@veldy.net>]

in your /etc/X11/XF86Config file, you should see a reference to either
/dev/mouse (which is a link to ...) or /dev/psaux.  This assumes you have a
PS/2 mouse, which nearly all recent modern computers have.

If you are using XFree86 3.3.6 instead of XFree86 4.0.1, then the file is
/etc/XF86Config.
