Re: Upgrade to potato; now "/dev/psaux: No such device"
I have sort of solved the problem by doing "modprobe psaux". That is, the
mouse is now found and X works again.
But the point remains that I shouldn't have to do this manually. Why
isn't it loaded automatically? (I am currently using kernel 2.0.36)
Cheers,
Mark.
