You don't really want the old /dev/psaux interface.
On previous installs /dev/mouse has been a link to /dev/input/mouse0. That link is not created for 7.3. If course I don't know if that is the issue, but it is one of the differences I've spotted. Manually creating the link didn't fix the problem, so I'm guessing that it's a symptom and not the cause. I've also looked through the /lib/udev directory files, and tried turning off psaux in the kernel. :( richard ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D EARTH SCREENSAVER - Watch the Earth right on your desktop!
