I don't have the 4 marked lines enabled; the rest is as yours. |

I have checked in this machine: it shows /dev/input/mouse0 before 'startx' |

& the mouse works in Twm as well as in Fluxbox; |

it is not present at start-up before 'startx' in the new box. |
39 |
That seems to show the problem in the new box isn't in X or in Fluxbox. |
