Hi! There is one exception: gpm. Without /dev/input/mice it did not work correctly and IIRC gpm daemon is only one present in linux distributions for mouse support in linux console mode (ctrl+alt+f1). Disabling /dev/input/mice by default will lead to broken or non-working gpm. -- Pali Rohár pali.rohar@gmail.com
