Interesting, thanks.
According to Wikipedia, the PS/2 connection was designed in 1987
and the first release of the Linux kernel was in 1991. Therefore

Not long ago there was a /dev/psaux. I'm interested in the
terminology. Can guess that "ps" is from PS/2. Correct?
Can anyone tell the origin of "aux"? A modest effort with

Dude, you rock! I added psmouse to my /etc/modules file and renamed my
modules.conf to modules.conf.bak (I never throw things away unless I

psaux mouse support in kernel is enabled. I'm using kernel-2.4.0
I have sort of solved the problem by doing "modprobe psaux". That is, the
mouse is now found and X works again.
But the point remains that I shouldn't have to do this manually. Why
isn't it loaded automatically? (I am currently using kernel 2.0.36)
Cheers,
Mark.

Can your email do this? http://www.gomomail.com
after you made the changes did you reload gpm ?
try this:
gpm -k
gpm -m /dev/psaux -t imps2
does the mouse work ? you may have the right port, but are using the wrong
