Perhaps mousedev.o is what you are looking for. This is what 2.4.19 uses for a ps/2 mouse driver. This file simply isn't there. The only char files I have are serial.o and softdog.o. Apart from these modules there's only block, cdrom, ide, net, pnp, and sound modules. All this is happening under VMware (altho I don't think it matters.) The strange thing is that my gpm and also X mouse suddenly are working again, after I rebooted. In /proc/devices it says char devices: 10 misc, but this is probably due to softdog watchdog support that I included in the kernel. There isn't a module loaded with a name that suggests it supports mice. :-( Remember that I configured mouse support NOT to be compiled into the kernel, but to be compiled as a module. Also, I'm not exactly a newbie so it's definitely not a user error. The only explanation I've got is that the driver WAS included into the kernel altho I instructed it to be compiled into a module. That would be a problem with the kernel source (configure logic.) To verify this I manually changed the two statements above to read: CONFIG_MOUSE=m CONFIG_PSMOUSE=m I will have a go at it, and should this turn out to be the problem I will report that here. -- L I N U X .~.

If I read the help for Mouse support correctly, then: Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all the questions about non-serial mice. If unsure, say Y. So this seems to be a dummy question which only activates the following menues. And PS/2 Mouse can't be compiled as module. IIRC there was a time, when you could compile psaux as module. Then it merged with the keyboard driver, so you could only activate psaux or not. There was no module anymore. But this was long ago, I think, it happend in 2.1.x. Shade and sweet water!

Re: psaux.o not compiled as a module?!
That's the only mouse module I had loaded so I figured it must be the one, but you're correct. Removing it does not affect my mouse operation. I guess that when I installed, something was sensed that triggered that module to be included. Digging a bit further, PS/2 mouse support IS built into the Debian kernel-image-2.4.19-686 kernel and is included in the pc_keyb.c driver. Sorry for the confusion.

psaux.o not compiled as a module?!
Hi there, all of a sudden I've got a strange problem. I'm trying to compile 2.4.20-rc2 with XFS, where psaux should be compiled as a module: CONFIG_MOUSE=m CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y However the psaux.o module is not created?! This NEVER used to be a problem... Does anyone know what could be going wrong? I wasn't able to find anything on Google... Thanks, Ralf -- L I N U X .~.

Re: psaux.o not compiled as a module?!
Perhaps mousedev.o is what you are looking for. This is what 2.4.19 uses for a ps/2 mouse driver. On Sun, Nov 17, 2002 at 06:55:18PM +0100, Ralf G. R.
