I have a problem using my PS/2 mouse port.
I have enabled PS/2 mouse support in
the kernel. I get this message
when the computer boots up:
...
Starting kswapd v1.8
Detected PS/2 Mouse Port. <---
pty: 256 Unix98 ptys configured

However when I try to use the mouse
with gpm or X, it just doesn't work!
(I've tried protocols, PS/2 and microsoft).
I've noticed that /proc/interrupts
does not contain a line for interrupt
12, which is supposed to be reserved for
PS/2. I think this could be a symptom
of something, but I don't know what.

I had the same problem a week or two ago, but it was on a laptop with a
Synaptics touch pad (not likely to be related to your problem, but
thought I'd toss out the info). When I used the "synps" protocol instead
of "ps2", gpm then started working properly. I don't remember for sure,
but I don't think I ever was successful getting it to work properly in
X, but it wasn't important so I just gave up on it.
