[Sussex] Re:Problems with installing Debian 3.1

Hi Steve

Thanks for your suggestions. 
I tried changing the XF86Config-4 file but still no success so  I had a 
look at the log file which has the following line

             (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice  No 
such file or directory.

 From runlevel 1 ls -a  gives the following listing for /dev/input   .  
..   event0   event1
However if I mount the debian partition under Knoppix or Suse  I get 13 
entries in the debian directory /dev/input
  (4 events, 4js's, 4 mouses and 1 mice).

If I try remaking the device files do I need a major number and where do 
I find it?
