I can only speak from personal experience, but on my Sarge 2.6.8-2-386:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/X11$ uname -a
Linux voyager3 2.6.8-2-386 #1 Tue Aug 16 12:46:35 UTC 2005 i586 GNU/Linux
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/X11$ ls -l /dev/psaux
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 1 2006-02-06 15:49 /dev/psaux
And from my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 which works on 2.4 or 2.6:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
I do seem to have /dev/input/mouse0, but it doesn't seem that I
need to use it..
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/X11$ ls -l /dev/input
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 64 2006-02-06 15:49 event0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 65 2006-02-06 15:49 event1
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 66 2006-02-06 15:50 event2
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 63 2006-02-06 15:49 mice
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 32 2006-02-06 15:49 mouse0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 128 2006-02-06 15:49 ts0
Perhaps I was just lucky and by installing 2.6 from the start
the installation process did everything for me...
