does your kernel have support for ps/2 mice?

what about reconfiguring X11, deleting mice's sections and replace it with:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

and...don't worry. i've had lots of trouble with my mouse on debian. but it 
does work not :)

regards,
patrick
