Err, only if you enable /dev/psaux. in the actual 2.6.7 powerpc kernels, /dev/psaux is not even existent, so there is no way you can have it send mouse events. Which is also why the default XF86Config fails completely to launch the X server, since it is waiting for /dev/psaux core events. Friendly, Sven Luther
