Hmmm... what exaclty is the psmouse module for then? It is a part of input and
i cant find any section of the traditional input system in the 2.6 kernel
configuration.
/dev/psaux is only used by input as a somewaht clone of /dev/input/mice. That
means that it also outputs the data from my USB mouse and not the ps2
touchpad.
The problem must be somewhere else. The input system detects my ps2 touchpad i
get no error message somewhere... i dont know if i have to switch somehow
between these devices... very strange.
