yes, but the kernel has nothing to do with it, if you ask me. the way
i got it to work was to use
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
in XF86Config-4 and then install the 'gpm' package, configured as so:
Device: /dev/psaux
Type: autops2
Repeat_Type: raw
