Kin,
An "InPort Mouse" isn't really PS/2. It is a very old Microsoft Bus
Mouse from the early 1980s. I believe they used to use /dev/inportbm or
similar. They are still supported in the 2.6 kernel, but I haven't
dealt with one to be honest.
File location:
<kernel-src>/drivers/input/mouse/inport.c
Description:
Inport (ATI XL and Microsoft) busmouse driver
I'd start with modprobing it and seeing what device nodes it uses and go
from there. Google might be your best bet, as I doubt many people have
access to this kind of old hardware.
Cheers,
Mark

Hi,
To have better chance of being helped, I include Xorg.0.log file .
There is /dev/input/mice (which is my
guess where the mouse device is ). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

*Subject:* PS/2 mouse doesn't work after installing SL 5.1
Hi,
I have an old computer box which has an old PS/2 mouse interface (with a
mouse called InPort Mouse) and I've been using SL 3.x.
So today, I've finally taken the gut to upgrade it SL5.1 (with SL5.1).
I've chosen the "base" only so that I need only 1 CD and then
I've added to it from network using "yum install....".
The X display didn't work at first when the system chose automatically :
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "cirrus"
EndSection
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I've made it work by changing "cirrus" to "vesa".
But so far, the mouse just doesn't work. ( It used to work in SL 3.x. )
I regretted that I didn't save any files before formatting the harddisk
(as I didn't expect any problem).
Is there anything which I should install or any tool that I can
"configure" the mouse ? Long time ago, there used to be mouseconfig or
something like that, but not any more ?
Can somebody advise ??? I'll greatly appreciate (as I'm running out of
ideas now).
Kin
