This file simply isn't there. The only "char" files I have are "serial.o" and "softdog.o." Apart from these modules there's only block, cdrom, ide, net, pnp, and sound modules. All this is happening under VMware (altho I don't think it matters.) The strange thing is that my gpm and also X mouse suddenly are working again, after I rebooted. In /proc/devices it says "char devices: 10 misc," but this is probably due to softdog watchdog support that I included in the kernel. There isn't a module loaded with a name that suggests it supports mice. :-( Remember that I configured mouse support NOT to be compiled into the kernel, but to be compiled as a module. Also, I'm not exactly a newbie so it's definitely not a user error. The only explanation I've got is that the driver WAS included into the kernel altho I instructed it to be compiled into a module. That would be a problem with the kernel source (configure logic.) To verify this I manually changed the two statements above to read: >> CONFIG_MOUSE=m >> CONFIG_PSMOUSE=m I will have a go at it, and should this turn out to be the problem I will report that here. -- L I N U X .~.
