This seemed to be the cause of my problem.

Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction. I should have
mentioned, that i did not only update the distro but the kernel as
well, only this time giving "make-kpkg --config=menuconfig
--revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image" a try instead of using "make
menuconfig make dep clean bzImage etc." like i used to. Although I am
absolutly sure that i marked Mouse Support as well as PS/2 mouse support
in menuconfig with a "*" (Im sure because I allways do) it ended up as:
CONFIG_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_PSMOUSE=m
in my .config, and no psaux module was build (i should have noticed this
when posting it but maybe at around 3 or 4am i dont notice too much
anymore ;-) ). Manually setting CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y and recompiling solved
the problem.
Weird thing is, that i reproduced this on my laptop with the same results.
.config using make menuconfig:
CONFIG_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y
.config using make-kpkg --config=menuconfig:
CONFIG_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_PSMOUSE=m
both times selecting Mouse Support and PS/2 mouse support with a "*".
Cheers,
Torsten
