While I am using a ps2 mouse, setting the device to
/dev/psm0 sets me back even further. If I do that, I
don't even get the mouse movement on XF86Setup, and I
get even less after running startx - it reports that
it cannot make a connection to the desktop...

It just gets stranger.

And again, I mistyped below: /dev/mouse is a static
link to /dev/sysmouse...
