I suspect you need these options in your kernel: Device Drivers Input Device Support Event Interface (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=3Dy) I also have: .. Mice PS/2 Mouse and all the sub-options compiled in: CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=3Dy CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=3Dy CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ALPS=3Dy CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LOGIPS2PP=3Dy CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS=3Dy CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LIFEBOOK=3Dy CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT=3Dy > For security reasons, all text in this mail is double-rot13 encrypted. that's nice to know. Just so this email is accepted by your security policy, I double-rot13'd the reply. Note that your comments are now quadruple-rot13'd, but I think you should be able to decrypt them without too much hassle.
