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.
