Oh, what a glorious day! Thanks for that hint.
For the record and those people using "psmouse" as a module: Try
unloading the module ("modprobe -r psmouse"), then load it with
the parameter suggested ("modprobe psmouse proto=imps"). My gpm
is reading from "/dev/psaux" with "-t imps2" and now works again
just like it did back in the good old days using a kernel
<2.6.1.
The cleanest way to permanently change this setting would
probably be a change to some file below "/etc/modutils" -- can
anyone help? Adding a line "psmouse proto=imps" to
"/etc/modules" would be a simple way to start with.
Cheers,
Marcus
