You need to have the kernel load the `psaux' module. Add a line with just `psaux' on it somewhere in /etc/modules. Then you need to run some program that actually uses a mouse; i.e., gpm or X Windows. These will need to be told to use a PS/2 mouse; run XF86Setup or gpmconfig if you've already installed them. All of this will need to be done as root. -- Ben Pfaff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Senders of unsolicited commercial e-mail will receive free 32MB core files! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
