I hope not. The tar was created from SVN tree, so missing files are not doable.

The devel version 0.7.8 can build with kernel 2.6.26.8 without errors. I have just tested.
I can currently not test the stable 0.7.7.1 from here.

As long I remember, the mouse was disabled in kernel config. Maybe this is the condition, that I don't have the problem?
The line "CC ... comouse" does not exist in my build log! My devel config has "# CONFIG_MOUSE_COOPERATIVE is not set". So it is disabled.

Mouse is always disabled in stable, see line 747:
http://colinux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/colinux/branches/stable/conf/linux-2.6.26.8-config?revision=1407&view=markup

Please test with default config from coLinux, or disable the mouse driver in your config.

To compare patch files and config from 0.7.8 tree with yours, you will find all files on SVN http://colinux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/colinux/branches/devel/ or as tar under nightly builds on http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/autobuild/
