Thanks ! it worked - though the 2.612 compilation was not smooth ... make
oldconfig did not do the work , it
left the option of CONFIG_BROKEN=y , and so the make modules did not pass. i
had to do make config
to change that one , and then the kernel has compiled .... and finally the
mouse is working !!

Hi,
I experienced some mouse issues using Sarge (Debian stable, kernel 2.6.8).
My problems were solved once I upgraded (compiled my own kernel) to
kernel 2.6.12 .
If you don't have the time to compile your own kernel, you can always
use the Debian backports: http://backports.org .
They have a 2.6.18 kernel package for etch + all archs in there.
Note that the mousedev module is dropped in kernel>=2.6.12 so you
should remove it from your /etc/modules if you upgrade.

Hi again,
The trus is that I am not a Debian guru at all... I just need to develop
some modules for the 2.6
Since I already worked with RH for the pas 2-3 years , I thught it will
be
nice to change to a different
distro (was I wrong ?? ....)
So , any other distro recomendations will be highly appreciated , as long
as
the mouse works ......
