My guess is that the configuration has been set up by Xautoconfig4 assuming
you're using a kernel with the new input layer - have a look at this, it may
help.

On a blue&white G3 300 Mhz, after upgrading to XFREE 4.01, I used
Xautoconfig4 to generate XF86Config-4 file, but the call startx still
failing with the following message:
xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/mouse
No such file or directory.
or :
xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice
No such file or directory.
I used many examples on the internet of XF86Config-4 files for Rage128
without any success.
Dos anyone know why it thinks I have a serial mouse.
Any help is welcome.
