If I start X via reboot or init 5 -- no mouse.
However, while trying to debug this, if I issue:
init 5; sleep 7; ps h -C X -o pid= | xargs strace -tto X.strace -p
In this case, X *does* connect to the mouse, so the strace output is not
very useful possibly except for some error messages:

There are other instances where the mouse is opened/closed; but no
additional hints as to what may be preventing the mouse from being seen on
bootup or init 5...
Any ideas for tracking this down would be appreciated... unfortunately,
trying to monitor the startup appears to alter timings...

On LM8.2, I've been chasing a strange problem...
The mouse worked after 8.2 install; but now, I did what I hate most
(reboot) after taking my laptop along on a short trip...
Under the following conditions, the mouse *works in VC mode* (gdm);
but *not* under X:
- booting with or without autologin
- init 3 -- init 5
# lsof | grep psaux # *should* give something like:
X1905 root 5u CHR10,1 84 /dev/misc/psaux
but I get nothing when the problem exists...
From a VC, as a regular user, startx and mouse works.
Anyone have a hint...?
Still looking,
Pierre
