You might need to edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config and change the reference
to "/dev/psaux" to "/dev/input/mice"
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" # change this to
"/dev/input/mice" for later versions of the 2.6 kernel.
If you are running both the 2.4 and the 2.6 kernel for different
reasons. You will either have to edit the XF86Config file when changing
from one kernel to the other version or use a symlink from "/dev/mouse"
to point to "/dev/psaux" for the 2.4 kernel and to "/dev/input/mice" for
the 2.6 kernel.
PITA, but the later kernels are built without /dev/psaux.
