mousepad kernel 2.6.0-test9

[panda <panda@cs.ucsb.edu>]

Hi,

I installed the 2.6.0-test9-1-i386 kernel on my laptop
HP ZE 5170 
Pentium 4 
512 MB ram
15 inch screen
ATI Radeon mobility graphics card 32 MB
Trident sound card

The problem is that the mousepad stops working along with the sound
card.

I cheched lsmod. It shows mousedev but it is not used.
I tried rmmod mousedev and then insmod mousedev but no effect.

kudzu doesn't detect any new hardware either.

I have a working 2.4.18-bf24 kernel which didn't need to be prodded for
the mouse configuration.

Can I do anything other than compiling the kernel. Should I be trying
something else?
Thanks a lot for all ur help.
