The mouse proves elusive:

# dmesg |grep -i mouse
[    2.645218] mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
[    3.225344] psmouse serio1: logips2pp: Detected unknown 
Logitech mouse model
90
[    3.722367] input: ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse as 
/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input2

BUT:

Running $ X -configure yields:

"Xorg is not able to detect your mouse.
"Edit the file and correct the Device."

Running X -config xorg.conf.new produces a nice blank black 
screen but no sign of a mouse.

Thank you

I don't know to what "driver 0" refers.

in most cases, a useless waste of time. For nearly every system, Xorg automagic
does a satisfactory job.

What happens when you start X with no /etc/X11/xorg.conf at all? What is the
output from:

	ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ?

Does this match errant behavior that triggered you starting this thread? Given the
trouble you had with networking, something seems to have gone amiss with your
dist-upgrade in spite of your ounce of prevention. Was Jessie an upgrade from
Wheezy? From Squeeze to Wheezy to Jessie? Farther back?

Logitech pointing devices always just work for me.
