This is a default installation, the option should be there by default.
Do you want me to submit this against Debian Installer packages? :-)

Also, see also Michael's mail.

That's not really a good solution though, as it won't allow using the
mouse once the X server is started. It would be better to make sure the
kernel module behind /dev/input/mice gets loaded regardless of whether
there's any mice connected. Longer term, the upcoming X server
input-hotplug support should should solve this cleanly.

Bug#389030: xserver-xorg: does not start (after reboot) if no mouse is attached

2006-09-23 Thread Eddy Petrișor
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hello,

I have found that if I plug out the USB mouse and restart the system the
X server will not start unless th mouse is attached. Removing the mouse
after the server has started has no ill effects.

Although currently there are almost no systems without a mouse, it
shouldn't be a requiremnt for the X server to start.
