ahh..
yes I have the same readout.
ls -l /dev/input/mice
crw-rw----    1 root     root      13,  63 Mar 15  2002 /dev/input/mice

note 1 : the mouse works fine in kernel 2.4.18, but not in kernel 2.4.22 
- on the same machine.
note 2: lsmod while running 2.4.18 shows
input                   3456   0  [keybdev mousedev hid]
            lsmod while running 2.4.22 shows
input                   3456   0  [mousedev]


I presume from this that for some reason hid is not using input, but I 
can't figure out why!
