Can't get my mouse to work
I've installed Debian 1.3.1 on my Gateway Pentium Pro and I can't get the
mouse to work. I've received a lot of help from Rob Browning so I can
supply a lot of information but we have run out of ideas and could use some
help. Here's what we know:
The mouse is a PS/2 mouse. It works fine under Windows 95. It does not
work at all under Linux. When I run XF86Setup, I select PS/2 mouse and set
the device to be /dev/psaux and "apply" the changes, but moving the mouse
does not move the cursor. The /dev/psaux file exists and looks right. I
believe the kernel has PS/2 support included because in /var/log/messages
there's a line that says "PS/2 Auxiliary pointing device detected -- driver
installed." But in /proc/interrupts there's no mention of a PS/2 device or
a mouse. I've also tried disabling both serial ports and the parallel port
in the BIOS to see if there was some IRQ conflict, but that made no
difference.
So... what should I try next?
