The following paste is its state after editing and making a link change as
noted below;
=======================
Also, I have successfully got things to work with the following two manual
changes:
1. Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and replace "/dev/psaux" with "/dev/mouse"
2. in directory /dev, change (delete and add) the symbolic link so instead of
mouse->psaux you have mouse->input/mice
===============================
2.6.2-1.87 then started fine until my last boot which hung after writing a
message about setting up Swap space. I'm now back to an earlier kernel
because of that problem.
