Re: ps2 mouse on 2.2

Hi Mark, I don't know whether you ended up fixing this but I had the same problem with a machine today and it triggered me to just ask the obvious again. In the kernel config -> Input device support, you should have Mouse interface, and Event interface selected, also in the mouse section you should have PS/2. If it's a USB mouse then you'll also need HID support in the USB section. If you like I'll send you my config file (from either 2.6.16.14 or 2.6.16.19). A recompile of the kernel then fixed this problem. I'd had these features turned off because I wasn't using X on this machine but now I am and when the mouse didn't work a quick check of /dev/input/ showed that there was no mouse device for X to use.
