this is not correct. modules.conf is generated and maintained by a 
script called update-modules. This one collects templates located in 
/etc/modutils/ and merges them into a resulting modules.conf file.

So for Debian you just have to copy the modules.conf file to a file 
called /etc/modutils/dvb and then run (as root) update-modules.

You can also maintain the modules.conf file completely manually, read 
the comments in /etc/modules.conf for details.

/dev/mouse is a compatibility link on some systems. PS2 mouses use the 
/dev/psaux device.

Please ask any distribution-related questions on the mailing 
lists/forums/irc channels that care about them, the linux-dvb mailing 
list is not intended to provide installation and linux newbie support.

For Debian you find the related links to mailing list, archives, IRC 
servers on http://www.debian.org/support/. For RedHat take a look on the 
RH website.
