Hi,
Try /dev/ttyS0 instead of /dev/psaux.
For /dev/ttyS0 to work, you need to have the serial module loaded.
For /dev/psaux to work, you need to have the ps2 module loaded.
If you run gpmconfig as root, you can configure gpm interactively and even
test the configuration before saving it.
Cheers,
Joost
