I'm sure I'm just missing something stupid, but google doesn't seem to turn 
up anything, so...

I'm trying to use 2.6.0-test9 on a machine with a USB mouse.  With 2.4, I 
have X configured to use /dev/input/mice (c 13 63) as my mouse pointer, 
and it works great.  With test9, XFree86 fails to start because it can't 
open the mouse.  The error is "xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/
input/mice  No such device.".

'cat /dev/input/mice' also gives me "No such device".

/dev/input/mouse0 (c 13 32) doesn't work either.

I believe all of the relevant modules are loaded and the light on my 
optical mouse is lit, indicating that it has been powered by the usbmouse 
driver (as I understand it).

Any suggestions as to what might be wrong or how I could investigate it?

I'm attaching the output of lsmod, in case it's useful.  The test9 build 
I'm using is the one packaged by Debian.

Thanks,

Shawn.
