            If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
            newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
            reporting problems.  (See [url]http://www.XFree86.Org/[/url])

    /dev/mouse doesn't exist.
    Try
    ln -s psaux /dev/mouse
    
    if you're using the PS2 port for your mouse.
    If you're using USB for your mouse, you should probably change the reference in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config to point to /dev/input/mice instead.
