2.4.19. After I have configure the kernel according to my system, I
compiled it and install it. Reboot.... and I am in.

I am now running IceWM, but my mouse has no reaction. So I thought maybe
I have setup wrongly, I went back to the console and try every single
possibility for the mouse section. By the way my mouse is Logitech Wheel
Mouse Optical plug to the PS2 port. This mice can be plug to the USB
port, but to make things simpler I dont do that.

2.4 , the gpm can not detect my mice so does X. Since I cant use kernel
2.2 to load my X, I cant tell you whether the mice will work in X
environment.

you need CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y in /usr/src/linux/.config
If you use make xconfig, it is in Character Devices, Mice.
