What do you expect :-) Only one question - why the hell does my mouse work through /dev/input/mice on 2.6.0 ??? Another thing - I installed gpm last night and ran gpmconfig - it found nada on /dev/psaux. Added to that - no matter which device file I use: If the mouse driver initialized properly my optical mouse's light would've come on. It does on 2.6.0 not on 2.4.22. >BTW: USB mice work fine with Linux 2.4. I know and that's what pees me off so much. On RedHat I had no problems whatsoever. I really think i'm missing something very stupid here, but i can almost guarantee that I've got the right kernel config. I've modprobed mousedev like Bob suggested and at first it wasn't there , cause i compiled the module into the kernel at first. If you checked my dmesg files you would've seen that the module was in fact there and did start up. Anyway's I ripped it out of the kernel and compiled as a module to no avail. Same problem... Forget about the USB part - as long as i can get the mouse to work through the PS/2 port - i'll worry about USB later. I'll really appreciate it if anyone can have a look at these to kernel configuration files. The one is for 2.6.0 on which mousey works the other for 2.4.22 on which it doesn't. I can't seem to find any differences in the mouse config parts... off topic question: Does sid come with xfree86 4.3 ?
