Hi,=20

I met problem when I config the Xwindows on my system(2.2-960801-SNAP).=20
When I run startx command, the xwindow didn't work and gave this message =
" Fatal server error: Cannot open mouse: too many levels of symbolic =
links). And I checked the /dev/mouse using "ls -l" and the list is:

lrwxr-xr-x 1  root  wheel    5 Aug 9 2:08     mouse -> mouse

the mouse is a symbolic link to another mouse, so what's the problem? =
How can I cut or change this link. By the way, I make the device "mouse" =
using MAKEDEV and it returned no error.


Thanks in advance!

Yours,
Song Lining
