[ale] How 2 get a PS/2 mouse goin' on Debian ?

Hi, Courtney -

You may also have to configure X11 ('XF86Conifg' or 'xorg.conf') to use 
'/dev/psaux' as your input device, or soft-link it as '/dev/mouse'.

Many of the X11 configuration utilities include a section to identify the 
mouse interface and test it.
