so about a dozen kernels later... i reverted to the debian stock kernel for 2.4.20, and things worked on that. so i examined the relevant differences between my config and debian's: 8,11c8,11 < CONFIG_MOUSE=m < CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y <--- debian --- > CONFIG_MOUSE=y > CONFIG_PSMOUSE=m <--- mine the funny thing, according to menuconfig, it should be the way my config has it listed. there's no option to set CONFIG_PSMOUSE to m, it's on or off! so what did i do? i opened up .config in vi, made the change manually, recompiled the kernel, and what do you know, i have a mouse again. the *really* strange thing is that neither CONFIG_MOUSE nor CONFIG_PSMOUSE generate insertable modules when set to m...
