PS/2 mouse not working

PS/2 mouse not working

[Sune Mølgaard]

Hi all.

I can't seem to get a new PS/2 mouse to give any input on 2.6.11.6. I 
have tried creating /dev/input/{mouse0,mouse1} apart from 
/dev/input/mice as per numbers in Documentation/devices.txt, and cat 
<device> gives no output when wiggling the mouse.

I have tried compiling psmouse as module and loading it, and I have 
tried compiling it into kernel. I have also chosen to have a /dev/psaux, 
that doesn't get any input either. Mouse seems to get detected, as per 
this snippet from dmesg:

...
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
...
input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse on isa0060/serio1
...

Best regards,

Sune Mølgaard

Oh yeah. I also tried an usb -> PS/2 converter on my current mouse to 
rule out a faulty mause. Same result...
