"And the answer is... 42."

Turns out I was asking the wrong question. The whole problem about it
is that the 2.6 kernels detect my mouse as a ImExPS/2 mouse and not as
a ImPS/2.

What I need is to find a way to tell the psmouse module (PS/2 Mouse
Kernel Module) to exclude ImExPS/2 as a protocol for my mouse.

I even tried to hack (unsuccessfully) the psmouse-base.c file in the
kernel, so far, no luck in that. I'll google some more now. If you
guys have any idea what to do, let me know.

Thanks,

Raphael
