If you can't start gdm with /dev/input/mice, in all probability it is because the kernel module 'mousedev' is not loaded. Along with the 'psmouse' module, that should give you a functional mouse. (In case you are curious: 'mousedev' is the frontend, 'psmouse' is the backend, 'input' is the glue between them, and is auto-loaded.) Peter
