Everything worked perfectly once I modprobe'd mousedev.  Thanks for the 
help.

I tried to cat /dev/psaux and /dev/input/mice and /dev/input/mouse0 , 
and all give a device not found error, which led me to believe the 
kernel module was not loaded.  But my dmesg contains

input: PS2++ Logitech Mouse on isa0060/serio1
   

With the kernel input layer, there are three components to the mouse
driver now.  One is 'psmouse', which you already have loaded.  Another
is 'input', which is autoloaded.  The third is the frontend,
'mousedev', which takes mouse data and produces an emulated PS/2
Intellimouse on /dev/input/mice - and optionally on /dev/psaux as well,
for backward compatibility.
Note that 'mousedev' is not strictly needed - if your applications can
deal with the 'event interface' instead, you can just load the 'evdev'
module and use /dev/input/event0 et al. as an alternate "front-end
driver" for mouse packet output.  But normally you just want 'mousedev'
and /dev/input/mice.

PS/2 mouse not working after upgrade to kernel 2.6.0

2004-02-09 Thread Kevin Wortman 
Greetings,

I am running Debian testing on an i686.  I have a (corded) Logitech 
TrackMan Marble FX PS/2 trackball which works perfectly with kernel 
2.4.24 from testing.  I installed kernel-image-2.6.0-1-686, and when I 
start X I get the following error:

(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/psaux
   No such device.
(EE) Generic Mouse: cannot open input device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Generic Mouse"
(II) UnloadModule: "mouse"
(WW) No core pointer registered
No core pointer
I tried to cat /dev/psaux and /dev/input/mice and /dev/input/mouse0 , 
and all give a device not found error, which led me to believe the 
kernel module was not loaded.  But my dmesg contains

input: PS2++ Logitech Mouse on isa0060/serio1

And the psmouse module shows up in lsmod.  So it seems that the module 
is indeed loaded and talking to the mouse; but the devices are not 
working for some reason.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kevin Wortman
