Hi Peter, if `cat /dev/input/mouse0` responds with "file not found", it means that the device file is missing - if it says "device not found", the kernel is lacking support for that kind of special device. Did you change your kernel at the same time you migrated from XF86 to Xorg? Do you have a USB or a PS/2 mouse? Did you compile the kernel yourself, or are you using a prepackaged one? Jan -- Jan C.
