I've been playing with Debian on the PS3 lately, and one of the pages 
about it recommended that mousedev be added to /etc/modules  in order to 
ensure that the module is loaded even if the mouse is not connected.  I 
don't know if this will do anything different than the option above, but 
it seems like a good idea to have the module loaded to ensure VNC can 
use it properly.
