1 The module thats responsible for /dev/input/mouse0 creates the node when
2 it loads via udev: is the modules loaded? /dev/mouse is usually (on
3 newer systems) a symlink to /dev/input/mouse0 if it
4 exists. /dev/input/mice is a concentrator. i.e., on my laptop I have a
5 ps2 mouse (actually the gspot/touchpad) and a plugged in usb mouse. All
6 three work through /dev/input/mice at the same time. Individually they
7 are accessed via /dev/input/mouseX.

9 To test try "cat /dev/input/mice" and move the mouse - rubbish will
10 print to terminal if its working. CTRL-C to exit.
