[ale] mouse problems with xfree86

[Zhongbin Yu " <z.yu at premcall.com>]

<RANT>
also, I don't like by default it will fail completely if there's no mouse.
With xdm/gdm automatically respawn, it will get really annoying.

wonder if there's any way to allow no-mouse or bad-mouse X startup?

#of course, /dev/psaux is the real mouse not ttyS0, which is the serial

#root#	cd /dev && ln -sf psaux mouse

#If you still have problem, check if the your ps/2 mouse is really there
