9 does "garbage characters" mean weird printable characters (so I can see
10 them in the editor) or bytes that are in the file but not seen in the
11 editor?

21 I put it on
22
23 http://www.christeck.de/files/xorg.conf
24
25 It originally was created by Knoppix :-} .
26
27 I just added a line at the end of the files section pointing
28 to /dev/input/mice, but it didn't help.

33
34 Cool idea, as long we can be sure that there aren't lines around the
35 mouse related lines which report further information.
36
37 I did
38
39 cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i mouse
40
41 (**) |-->Input Device "PS/2 Mouse"
42 (**) Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "true"
43 (II) LoadModule: "mouse"
44 (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/mouse_drv.o
45 (II) Module mouse: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
46 (==) NV(0): Silken mouse enabled
47 (**) PS/2 Mouse: Device: "/dev/psaux"
48 (**) PS/2 Mouse: Protocol: "PS/2"
49 (**) PS/2 Mouse: always reports core events
50 (**) PS/2 Mouse: Core Pointer
51 (**) PS/2 Mouse: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 70
52 (**) PS/2 Mouse: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
53 (**) PS/2 Mouse: Buttons: 5
54 (**) PS/2 Mouse: SmartScroll: 1
55 (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "PS/2 Mouse" (type: MOUSE)
56 (II) PS/2 Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
57 (II) PS/2 Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
58
59 I wonder that it only tells something about /dev/psaux and PS/S mouse,
60 but where is my USB mouse?
