Subject: mouse not writing to device file.....

Hi,
I just had this problem after I reinstalled woody on my system.
previously, I had the same problem with my mouse not working on startx
but I managed to correct it though it slipped my mind somehow. anyways,
my XF86Config file says my input devices are /dev/psaux and /dev/input/mice.
However if I cat either of the file and start clicking away, there is no
change in the file (I tried this on a SW Live distro and it worked there.
so if my mouse is not writing to either of the two device files, what
should I do? I also checked the other /dev/input/ mouse files and they
say no device..
Thanks a lot in advance,
Joy.M.M
