Your mouse operates under /dev/input/mice when plugged into the PS/2 port? Jesus, they fixed the PS/2 driver in 2.6 :-) > Another thing - I installed gpm last night and ran gpmconfig - it found > nada on /dev/psaux.

Some suggestions (I have no definitive list of required modules, I'm compiling the mouse modules statically): * A module which runs your USB hub. Called UHCI, OHCI, EHCI or $WHATEVER. * usbmouse, mousedev, evdev, hid, input. Try loading them all, but I think usbmouse is the correct one. This assumes a 2.4 kernel, I'm not familiar with 2.6 yet. > I'll really appreciate it if anyone can have a look at these to kernel > configuration files.
