Since you didn't tell us what kind of PS/2 mouse, how in Eris' name are
we supposed to help you?

Trekker Wheel Mouse 2.0A


Is that a MS two-button mouse?

The Wheel can be used as button too. Microsoft? I dunno, at least
there's no Microsoft logo or name written on the mouse.

Knowingly I never owned anything from Microsoft, but the mouse is
second-hand, perhaps it's a Microsoft mouse.


Don't knock it.  They make *great* optical mice.

It worked for 64 Studio/Debian Etch and Lenny. It's not broken, it still
works with an old Suse install.


Does /dev/psaux exist? Do you boot into [xkg]dm or the console? Is gpm installed?

PS: Until now completely no issues for the USB mouse. FWIW the mouse
wheel for the PS/2 mouse already was broken for the clean Debian stable
install. It isn't related to self-build kernels etc..


There are enough people still using PS/2 mice that the Debian-install people wouldn't take out the PS/2 driver.

Since you eviscerated ALSA, I wouldn't be surprised if you screwed up something regarding the mouse, too.
