This looks okee. You're sure `ps2' is the right protocol? When your mous has a scroll wheel, you might try `imps2', though I think `ps2' should work. > >> How can I tell beyond doubt which device the mouse is on. > > Is there a difinitive answer to that... some canonical way to know for > sure where the mouse is connected?

The other way is as root to use `lsof /dev/psaux /dev/gpmdata'. Be sure to be in X when you do this, as X has the file open only when it's running *and* it's console is active.
