Try adding psaux to your /etc/modules file for your next reboot and modprobe psaux right now. This leaps out for two reasons, psaux is not listed as a misc device in 2.4 and you have it compiled as a module. Let the list know if this solves it or you need more help. --mike

Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction. I should have mentioned, that i did not only update the distro but the kernel as well, only this time giving make-kpkg --config=menuconfig --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image a try instead of using make menuconfig make dep clean bzImage etc. like i used to. Although I am absolutly sure that i marked Mouse Support as well as PS/2 mouse support in menuconfig with a * (Im sure because I allways do) it ended up as: CONFIG_MOUSE=y CONFIG_PSMOUSE=m in my .config, and no psaux module was build (i should have noticed this when posting it but maybe at around 3 or 4am i dont notice too much anymore ;-) ). Manually setting CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y and recompiling solved the problem. Weird thing is, that i reproduced this on my laptop with the same results. .config using make menuconfig: CONFIG_MOUSE=y CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y .config using make-kpkg --config=menuconfig: CONFIG_MOUSE=y CONFIG_PSMOUSE=m both times selecting Mouse Support and PS/2 mouse support with a *.

PS/2 mouse problems with kernel 2.4.x
Hi all, im running woody/sid and did an update yesterday, since then I cant get my mouse to work with a 2.4.x kernel anymore. Its a PS/2 mouse that works fine with kernel 2.2.19 (console and X) but with a 2.4.x kernel I cant start gpm (no error message but ps ax shows no gpm process, oops in syslog see below) nor can I use the mouse in X without gpm, which worked before by changing /dev/gpmdata to /dev/psaux in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. cat /dev/psaux gives me device not found although I created it new using mknod /dev/psaux c 10 1 (and works with 2.2.19).
