It definitely wasn't that. I have experienced the problems you
describe, but I have since gotten it working and not only do I not
know HOW I did it, but I'm not sure how it worked in the first
place... :p

I was missing one or two kernel modules or options that I needed, and
after adding them I started to see output from `cat /dev/input/mice`
where there was none before. I believe it was, in particular, the
"input layer support" under one of the primary usb modules, like HID,
but I don't have my laptop in front of me so I'm not sure.

In any case, problem solved, very irritating, went through about 5
kernel builds trying different options, finally I'm operational.

Thanks!
