Hi Martin, after I installed the kernel-header-files I could find something of mousedev and psmous. But I don't know if I really load them. And if not, how to load them. In fact I receive some error during booting because of something might be wrong with 'mice'. On /dev/input I can se a mice-entry. But it seems not to be a file nor a directory. The first character (on a ls -l) shows me a c. What does this mean? Yes, you are right: I'm trying to run debian (and XFree86) inside VMwar 5. Thank you so far, Dieter Martin Michlmayr wrote: * Dieter Baier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2005-10-11 06:06]:Package: VMwareTools Version: 5.0.0-13124You're basically running XFree86 inside VMware, right?Anyway, are you loading the mousedev and psmouse modules? I think one of them creates /dev/input/mice |
