Package: mdetect
Version: 0.5.2
Severity: normal
/dev/psaux has moved to /dev/input/mice in 2.6 kernels. If a kernel is
compiled without the compatibility option to enable /dev/psaux then
mdetect won't recognize a common PS/2 mouse.
The following patch fixes that. It prefers /dev/input/mice over
/dev/psaux. It might need to be refined further to handle usb mice on
/dev/input/mouse1 and above (I noticed the special case to ensure
/dev/input/mouse0 is last on the list).
