I have installed the Testing kernel package (kernel-image-2.6.3-1). With this kernel, XFree86 is unable to find a core pointer (my PS/2 mouse). I suspect this is because there isn't a handler associated for the mouse device in /proc/bus/input/devices (see below).
Does anybody else have this problem ? Should I submit a bug report ?
