I just found a better solution, borrowed from Debian. Create a general rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d and give it a name that will precede anything else (I used the Debian name 50-udev.rules). Put in it the following rule: KERNEL=="mice", NAME="input/%k" Then /dev/input/mice is created as before and the mouse works. btw How do I get my replies to follow the existing thread instead of starting a new one? I've never been on a mailing list before and I don't know how to do things properly. Apologies. -- Hazel Russman <hazel_russman@yahoo.co.uk>

Yes, thanks, that was the problem. I found that upgrading to the latest kernel will also fix the problem as the file is created automatically by the kernel. Regards, -- Chris Shrigley <cshrigley@f2s.com>
