I'm having trouble with my new mouse and Linux 2.6. The most recent kernel I tried was 2.6.13rc3. It's a plain optical, three buttons, scroll wheel PS/2 mouse, model name "Trust Ami Mouse 250S", and it works fine on 2.4 and Windows. I don't use a KVM switch.
The symptoms: When the psmouse module loads, the mouse's red sensor light turns off. Reading from /dev/input/mice doesn't give data when you wiggle it, only when you click a button or scroll the wheel. If you reboot the computer at this point, the optical sensor stays disabled and the mouse won't be detected anymore (not matter the OS). The proto=bare option doesn't help. I experimented a bit, and I could get it working by commenting out the lines in drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c where the PSMOUSE_CMD_RESET_DIS command was sent (twice in psmouse_extensions, and a third time in psmouse_probe). So it seems my mouse gets confused by this command, but other mice probably need them. Perhaps they can be replaced by a PSMOUSE_CMD_RESET_BAT/PSMOUSE_CMD_DISABLE combo? (Not that I know what I'm talking about...)
