What is really strange is we let the computer sit for a bit while we
researched heaps of XF86Config's. Pulled out all the USB things we had
tired. We then enabled the mouse at the console only first. dmesg | grep
mouse was showing /dev/psm0 so we did moused -p /dev/psm0 and the mouse
worked :]
XFree86 -configure
Made a new config but still said mouse not found, so we edited the config to
this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
EndSection
Then ran the new config, complained about the mouse already being used, so
killall moused and ran it again.
And that was it! All is working good again. Besides enabling the mouse at
the console first, we did everything else before, that is what I do not
understand. I'm just happy its working now.
Thanks
