We just installed debian 2.2 on our miata 500a we can't get X to run yet (powerstorm 4D51T vid card .... any hints out there?) but during the xf86config I did see that you needed an explicit path to the mouse device. We're using a PS/2 mouse so I had to use
/dev/psaux as the path to the mouse, then after trying to get X windows to work for most of the afternoon I just made a symbolic link between /dev/mouse and /dev/psaux ln -s /dev/psaux /dev/mouse then it's easy to accept the default and have it picked up. There didn't seem to be any /dev/mouse by default. It seems Debian wants the user to put those little things in.
