Re: P/S 2 Mice

[John Stevenson <John@oa.nl>]

You probably have all the right stuff installed:

* A Kernel (bit obvious this one) with ps/2 support though !! 
This is default in the Hamm distribution unless you roll your
own kernel, then just make sure that you select it.

* X (xbase package) needs to be configured by running xf86config
and selecting ps/2 for mouse type.

I have installed a few different types of ps/2 mice on Laptops
and Desktops and have never found one that didnt work if the
above two steps were done (theres always a first time though).
