Putting this module in /etc/modules solves the problem completely :-)

Mine does not seem to send events there, but is only accessible via /dev/psaux. > The only problem I notice is that the scrollwheel doesn't work when > the mouse isn't connected on starting of X, it drop's back to a > default ps2 mouse with 3 buttons (and not 5...) This works perfectly for me - just tried to boot the laptop, log into X, then plug in the mouse and the wheel works. However, I have configured /dev/input/mice and /dev/psaux in my X config. I have added the details to my webpage at http://www.mayrhofer.eu.org/rene/linux/notebook.html Thanks for the hints !
