[gentoo-user] No ps/2 mouse in linux-2.6 (but in linux-2.4)

[Erik]

Hello,
I just installed Gentoo with linux-2.6.11 on a computer, but the mouse driver 
did not work. Then I tried with linux-2.4.24 and it worked. Why does this 
happen? Is it a regression or have I done something wrong? linux-2.6 does not 
show a mouse device (/dev/input/mouse0, like it should). Neither gpm nor xorg 
work. I attach the .config from the respective kernels:

.config-2.4.24.bz2
