dmesg shows input: IMPS/2 Logitec Wheel Mouse on isa0060/serio1 I am using a self-compiled 2.6.7 kernel which I compiled about a year ago for a Dell Dimension 8300. The mouse is an unremarkable one attached via PS/2. I am not sure what to make of isa0060/serio1, the mouse definitely does not use an ISA interface, what does this mean?
