Here it is: steve@localhost ~$ ls -lh /dev/input/mouse0 crw-r----- 1 root root 13, 32 Oct 9 09:56 /dev/input/mouse0 steve@localhost ~$ ls -lh /dev/input/mice crw-r----- 1 root root 13, 63 Oct 9 09:56 /dev/input/mice steve@localhost ~$ Just to clarify for everyone following this, mouse support works perfectly for me in console mode Midnight Commander as root AND as a regular user.
