So I just bought an el-cheapo "GE" brand optical PS/2 wheely-mouse to replace the non-optical PS/2 wheely-mouse that came with my Fry's/Linspire computer.
To my surprise, it doesn't work. I figured "PS/2... it'll just plug in and work. I might need to change X's config from ImPS/2 to PS/2 or something." Nope... this thing's red light turns off the minute anyone (X, gpm, or my manually via cat or xxd) talks to the /dev/input/mouse or /dev/psaux devices. >:^( Before I try to return it (stupid thing came in one of those plastic cases that you need to take scissors and a flame-thrower to to open it), I thought I'd see if anyone out here knew of any tricks to get it to work. (Googling, I found someone mention they had to tweak something in their bios to get a PS/2 mouse working right. I see nothing mouse-related in my bios, so I'm outta luck there.) Thx! -- -bill!
