hey -user, so i just upgraded my laptop's kernel, threw in devfs, apt-got devfsd, and booted back up with minimal hassle[1]. everything is completely functional and happy, with the exception of my touchpad mouse. the device /dev/psaux no longer exists. what i do have is
/dev/mouse -> /dev/gpmdata /dev/usbmouse -> /dev/input/mouse i messed around with various things (/etc/devfsd/*, update-devfsd) but to no avail. this is very strange because on my desktop which has an almost identical setup (unstable, devfs, 2.4.20), i do have /dev/psaux, which is a symlink to /dev/misc/psaux. has anyone else had this problem, and more importantly, does anyone haev a fix? thanks sean [1] actually, i forgot to install devfsd, and didn't realize until i booted. fortunately i had a knoppix cd handy...
