trackpad not working after dist-upgrade to sarge unstable

["Bakki Kudva" <bakki.kudva@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a Gateway Solo 9150 which I have used for Debian since 1997 and
had no dist-upgrade problems till now.

IT appears that unstable with 2.4 and 2.6 kernels are both not setting
up the trackpad correctly to /dev/psaux. So X does not load.

dmesg shows that it is detected and is called something like
serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1
input: Logitech Mouse on isa0060/serio1

If I change /dev/psaux in XF86Config to /dev/ttyS1, X loads fine but
the mouse is still inoperative. I don't see a /dev/mouse

What has changed in unstable to cause this?

I also find it confusing since the names used in dmesg don't map to
/dev names. Is there a source where I can see what the mappings are?

Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me.
