Trying to run KDE - mouse does not work

[qwerty q]

I have a PIII 450MHz 128MB RAM Winbook XL3 that I put Debian on. I decided to try to load KDE.

I have gotten it to load KDE, however the mouse is stuck, doesn't move from the center of the screen. So then I find that I have modules input and mousedev for mice, and I believe I am missing psmouse. Is this infact the problem, and if so, how does one go about loading/installing/whathave you modules?

Any help is welcome to this newbie

Depends on your version of Debian. If you're using the stable release (Sarge), it uses Xorg 6.8, and I don't know why it would be missing any modules.
If you're using the testing or unstable branches (Etch and Sid, I think), they use Xorg 7, which has its modules available separately from the core. In that case, you'd go into your package manager and search for xorg, then pick all the stuff you want included in X. The mouse driver should be one of the xserver-xorg-input- entries; you can pick xserver-xorg-input-all for a catch-all.

It is the latest stable version sarge, sorry for not clarifying. I checked to see what modules I had for mouse, and had: input and mousedev. when i tried to probe psmouse it was not found. If I'm not missing any modules... any idea on what it could be?

Edit: I should also mention I just downloaded the one 180MB iso image, not the full 14 cds. So I'm guessing it didn't install certain packages - maybe a serial mouse would work, but I haven't got one.

Problem solved.

For those interested:
In XF86Config-4 (after backing it up of course!) in section 'Input Device' I changed Option Device '/dev/input/mice' to '/dev/psaux' and Option Protocol 'IMPS/2' to 'PS/2'
