It may be as simple as adding the mouse to your system but on my laptop
computer I needed to have a module psaux.o for my PS/2 mouse to work. If I
remeber correctly the config phase of the kernel asked if I have a ps/2
mouse. But yesterday when I compiled a new kernel it did not ask about a
PS/2 mouse. It may be that it is now added in the kernel.
Anyone with precise info?
