I've followed the HOWTO for using a HIL mouse with
XFree86 on my Apollo 715/33 but get the error message:
xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice No
such device
when executing startx. Indeed, cat /dev/input/mice
also gives "No such device".
I upgraded the kernel using apt-get - does the 2.4.18
kernel available through this method support the HIL
drivers?
Many Thanks,
James

Double check that you have:
- When using devfs
= Enabled input layer support in the kernel
- When not using devfs
= Have the device node entries for /dev/input/*
= And enabled input layer support in the kernel.
