Re: [expert] USB-mouse and 7.2 - disappearing hardlink!?
One thing on my PS/2 trick that I failed to mention is that when you reboot and unplug the PS/2 mouse then when Linux starts the hadware wizard will ask if you want to remove the PS/2 mouse configuration. Either choose No or Ignore. Just out of curiousity. The system I had the problem on is a AMD 450 k6-2 with a VIA chip set. How many of you that are haiving this problem also have the VIA chip?

But to make this story even more interesting, I did the following: The console mouse did not work from as early as boot time (/dev/mouse no such device). So I made a hardlink "ln /dev/usbmouse /dev/mouse". Rebooted. Checked the console, fire up mc, mouse working fine. I thought, well, it is sorted. I left my computer on for the night, then in the morning cursor is frozen in X, switching to console, getting the same erro message: "oops, error /dev/mouse no such device gpm invoked from gpm.c (170)" What is going on? I am almost at the point to stop the gpm demon and forget about console mouse, but this would not be a nice way to solve a problem..

Re: [Re: [expert] USB-mouse and 7.2]
I installed Mandrake 7.2 with low security settings, and I have the same problem with my USB Intellieye. It worked fine under install and after install as well, because I go into initlevel 5 right away. But after a while, when DPMS switches off my system, by the time it wakes up, the system is frozen (I mean no mouse under X). If I switch to console, I can see the same error message: "no /dev/mouse". I re-linked /dev/usbmouse to /dev/mouse but it did not fix the problem. Reading what you experienced, I wonder what happens if you try to link /dev/mouse to /dev/psaux ? Would it fix the problem? Could you take a look at whether /dev/mouse link is actually exist on your system after doing your trick? And if it exists, where it points to?

Re: [expert] USB-mouse and 7.2
I have a Logitech Optical Wheelmouse and I had the same problem with it. The USB mouse driver would load during boot but Mouse Con fails with a no dev/mouse error so that when I got to the graphical login my mouse would not work. The way I was able to fix mine was to hook-up a PS/2 mouse as well as the USB mouse, boot the system. When the new hardware wizard launched I configured the mouse as a USB Wheel mouse. Once the system finished booting I shutdown and unhooked the PS/2 mouse. I restarted my system and the USB mouse including the wheel functions worked perfectly.
